Thanks a lot for this book review. Your enthusiasm and love for books remind me of my literature lecturer's. Mr J. Vernon's lectures are just unforgettable !Looking forward to yet other video episodes of yours on Vanity Fair, Juan.
I tried reading this years ago, after I watched an adaptation with Reese Witherspoon as Becky Sharp. The book failed to captivate me, so I didn't finish it. Maybe I should give it another go.
I think the problem with TV and movie adaptations is that they tend to focus on Becky Sharp and make her the protagonist, but the novel is a lot more sprawling than that. Let me know if you give it another go!
The book is brilliant, though definitely EXAUSTIVE will all its detail in social commentary and somewhat sentimental speech about the past it misses. Common for the 1840s, I've noticed. Though nostalgia has always been a thing! I have just inadvertently found myself reading books from THAT decade alone somehow!
I had scheduled reading Vanity Fair this year, but instead I ended up reading a Thackeray's shorter work, the novella Ravenswing included in a collection of stories collectively named Men's wives. The stories were serialized a couple of years or so before Vanity Fair. I enjoyed the irony and satire in Ravenswing as well as Thackeray's expert handling of English although the plot itself was fairly contrived, almost like a soap opera. Anyway, maybe I try and find a slot this year to read Vanity Fair, if only to enjoy Thackeray's witty prose.

I've had Vanity Fair sitting on my shelf for years now. Should probably get around to reading it. Glad to hear your thoughts of it. 🙂
It is definitely worth reading! I hope you give it a go at some point!

I think you might enjoy Vanity Fair. It is one of the best (if not the best) social satire I have read.
Thank you for convincing me I need to read this one :) it was on my list of classics, but way way down.
Hope you enjoy it!
