I did and didn't enjoy it. I read novels not biographies, many because I like a story (sometimes that include historical facts) and biographies are all facts no story. It was interesting to learning bits and pieces about Jane. It was pretty surprise how little is actually known about her.
My Main issue with the book is that, if you are reading a book about Jane, that probably means you have invested sometime into reading her books, so complete descriptions of her writing seemed unnecessary and unneeded. Reading this one the EReader was actually a little frustrating. Mainly because the images don't come out clearly and I couldn't make the font big enough without ruining the images. But the images were such a big part of the book. I really enjoy seeing them.
It is so bad that so little Jane's letters survived. I was really sad when I read that they tore her childhood home. But I am so glad that her last resting place has been made into a museum.
