TBH one of the most readable Victorian books I have read. Now here are the problems:
The last 200 pages were just about one thing one person did. I do not need that in my life.
Also all of these background characters getting complete histories needs to stop. I don't care about the history of the Southdown/Gaunt family from the 1600s. This is the 1820s goddammit!
Apart from that really enjoyed the character Amelia. Really hated Becky and for such a long time nobody realised what needed to be realised. It's good that Amelia woke up and chose to love Dobbin because her husband wasn't too good .
Overall I will probably regret looking up a summary instead of finishing the damn book. But then again, maybe I won't.
Update: I did not regret it.
