A review by derhindemith
Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray

5.0

I honestly didn't know what to expect when I started this. I understood from some of the short descriptions that it was satire. It was indeed that. But the observations he makes are so timeless that despite how involved he is in his own time (okay, thirty years earlier), the events, descriptions, and characters are relevant even today. As far as the old satire I've read, that's a pretty rare feat.
