I understand why this book is a classic and was necessary to the evolution of the novel, but don't let that make you feel like you should read it. It's boring, at best.
The moral is that you can only be as good as your station in life allows. Even still, Moll is only a "Whore" by 18th century standards. Her worst quality by far is her total neglect of her children, whom she just leaves behind after she pops them out.
If you read this, expect a lot of long-winded conversations and not nearly as much in the way of entertainment as the summary implies.

I really struggled with this book, particularly the language. I wanted to enjoy it, as the plot itself is all types of over the top dramatic, but the Ye Olde Time Language threw me. In saying that, I'm also trying to avoid reading books that I dislike, so after roughing it for half the book, I finally laid it aside. I'm sure I missed out on a lot of fun plot and events, but... well, no need to deal with unpleasantness, yeah?

Moll Flanders sheds lovers, husbands, and children like autumn leaves.
