Did I write this properly?
Jane sounded like she had recited her book verbatim, and when she finished, she looked extremely pleased, eyes lighting up.
Do I need to put a 'her' before the eyes?
Thanks!!

Hi,

A book is a long thing to recite. Perhaps you mean 'a passage from a book'?
I'd remove the second comma (after 'finished').
