What Members Thought

For all intents and purposes, Thackeray is successful in his goal for this book. He establishes a "Heroine" who is unlikable and wicked. The recent movie based on this book changed the ending to make Becky seem more likable. There is nothing worse then Hollywood trying to justify the characters by changing the book and its intentions. Thackeray successfully made a mockery of the type of people he wrote about and it continues to bore people today.

Fantastic: amusing, arch, wry - this is full of laughter, and the characters! so well drawn.
