A biting and witty satire on English social life and customs during the first part of the nineteenth century, its subtitle is “a novel without a hero,” and it could also be added without heroines. Yet the book’s two central characters, the virtuous but dim and naive Amelia Sedley and the amoral, clever, congenial Becky Sharp both display admirable and distressing qualities as they rise, fall, and rise again in society. One of the great virtues of Vanity Fair is that while it is told in hilarious prose, with short burst of genuine pathos, it was praised by its contemporaries as a thoroughly realistic account of the society that it portrays.

This story is very interesting, and I like main characters, Rebecca and Amelia.
They are very different but both of them are very attractive.

I think this story is a little similar to 'Gone with the Wind'.
But, Rebecca made use of men much more than Scarlet.

Rebecca was not a good lady, but finally she became a kind person. ( )

A gem, really. I always thought that this classic was a weird story, but it isn't. It's a beautiful story, with characters that stay with you. Becky, the heroine, is unique in her wickedness and shrewdness. ( )

Quite witty, with barbed humor. ( )
