What Members Thought
This book might be unique in that it not only claims to have no hero, but in fact has no hero. What it does have is a cast of duplicitous, weak or inane characters, none of whom stir much in the way of either pity, empathy, or affinity. It also has the bad girl to end all bad girls, Miss Rebecca Sharp. I doubt anyone would argue that Becky is not the most interesting character in the book, and while some might admire the good little Amelia, few could actually like her.
Vanity Fair is quite a bit ...more
Vanity Fair is quite a bit ...more
Very long story but pretty great. I feel sorry for Becky, she was a modern woman whose life went to shit because she was much smarter than the men around her.
