Book Review ~ Vanity Fair by William Thackeray

Image result for vanity fair book

When I finished reading Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray for the second or third time . . . that's right . . . a 950 pages complete and unabridged paper back book . . . I was actually sad that it was done.  

I love Thackeray's middle name and love love love the names he chose to use for his characters.  The characters are so off the wall and yet identifiable.  

First published in 1847-8 this novel is a satire of society in early 19th century England.  Vanity Fair is so fun and amusing and biting and ridiculous.

I highly recommend this book for a good laugh and a delightful experience.
