Vanity Fair
By William Makepeace Thackeray
Fun!! I read this because I adored the movie when I saw it a few weeks ago. Shockingly enough, the movie was better. I love Becky, she's such a fun character. Very naive when it comes to what her "benefactor" wants from her- who didn't see that coming a mile away?- but still sweet. She comes through as more of an optimist/land-on-her-feet sort of girl in the movie. Maybe I should start a page about the differences between the books and the movies based on them! For now, I'll stick with just reviewing the books. The imagery was great, of the costumes and the time period both. The behind the scenes scheming of Becky is subdued, calmly done.
9/10
