irenealgi 's review for:
Vanity Fair
by William Makepeace Thackeray
Vanity Fair is a good novel overall. Character development is good -especially regarding Becky-, plot is quite well planned. Writing is excellent, with a good use of language and irony. BUT it's too long. Way too long. Like 'they could spare me 400 pages' long. I literally skimmed through and skipped entire pages. I get it, the longer a novel was, the more money ou got from it back in the XIX century, but it feels like too much nowadays.
