Summary: Villette
Comment: Villette has recently become my all time favorite book. Although it is lacking somewhat in plot as compared to Charlotte's Jane Eyre, it is far superior in character development. Those of you who have read Jane Eyre know how incredible this statement is. I have never become so involved and emotionally tied to a character. Charlotte Bronte has put more of herself in this novel than any other author I am familiar with. If you loved Jane Eyre, you will adore Villette.
Rating: 4
Summary: The Other Sister
Comment: This book provides a wonderful compilation of five great Victorian novels. While Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights are well-known classics, many people are not aware of Charlotte's three other novels : Shirley, Vilette and the Professor. Shirley is my absolute favorite with its brilliantly satiric dialogue. As far as the Brontes go, Shirley is as close to being humorous as one can get. The reason I give this book four stars is because it is missing a key component: Anne Bronte. Although her talent is equivalent to that of her sisters, Anne Bronte has been unfairly marginalized as a writer. The addition of Anne's two novels Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall would truly encapsulate the essence of the close-knit Bronte sisters.

Summary: Where is Anne?
Comment: The novels are wonderful, I just don't understand the editor of this edition. What was the reason for dropping the youngest Brontë sister? She is underrated enough, there's no need to emphasize it even more.
