Vanity Fair

a Novel Without a Hero
Oct 23, 2015
Some passages were very well put together with good depth and color. Credit should also be given to the pioneering of a 'Becky Sharp' character, which I would assume to be ground breaking at the time. However, overall I found it dull and tiresome. The author spent most of the story immortalizing the characters and giving creed to their plight; but to conclude many chapters, he would address the reader directly to belittle the characters and plot, pointing out the shallowness of the 'vanity fair'. I found it a strange disconnect.
