Subject: Fabulous reading
Elizabeth Klett gives us a wonderful, professional quality reading of this classic. Happy to report that her British accent is very creditable, even to the ears of a native speaker. Brava! (The BookWorm, Manchester, UK)

If you've never read Jane Eyre, you should really consider to listening to this audiobook instead of buying the paper book. The first minutes of the first chapter are somehow hard to follow, but then, as you were thinking that maybe reading with your own eyes wasn't a bad idea after all, the reader voice catches up with the beat and suddenly projects you into a perfect 19th century fine environment, and you will surprisingly find yourself flowing through the tale without any apparent effort and with very much enjoyment.
Priceless are the numerous duets between Eyre and Mr Rochester for the reader seems to have a neat distinct voice for both and never fades out of character.
In a nutshell you can't miss this one out.
