What's to like: While Jane Eyre is sometimes a long, drawn out story it is important for budding readers to know about classics. Such classics have influenced works as The Nanny Diaries, The Au Pair Movies, and books about being an Au Pair that teens love to read about. Charlotte Bronte is an author who really knows how to convey emotion and since it was not proper for woman to write back then, it is amazing that Charlotte Bronte got her work published.
