It doesnt just end happily ever after when the protagonists get married; it goes on and on until everything is totally resolved. The satire is cutting and very smart; and is all about how the European society of the time is full of vanity. Various characters are more or less caught up in it.It gets only 3 stars because there isnt all that much zing and excitement but its still well worth reading.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Thackerays Vanity Fair: The Victorian SocietyBy Anthony ReyesWhen I read the book I got the impression that I was given a unique oportunity to look at the Victorian society and recognise the things that were both good and bad about it. The novel is "without a hero"; as Thackeray proclaims; but it is about the life and development of two women Becky Sharp and Amelia Sedley. By comparing and contrasting the two of them; Thackeray manages to show his readers that society in the Victorian Era influenced the development of the character of his heros; but not to the point of actually making them what they turn out to be. It is a wonderful book; full of insight and ever so true for our own time as well. If you want to know many truths about the Victorians and their lives; thats the book to read... You will; undoubtedly; enjoy the experience2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Magnificent novel; frustrating editionBy Wanda B. RedThis review concerns the Penguin edition. Id like to agree with the previous reviewer and add to what she says. Not only are the notes at the back of the book; so you have to leaf back and forth to read them -- and not only are they referenced by chapter number rather than page number -- they also not infrequently simply send you to another note (as in; "see chapter 2; note 10" or some such). Reading the notes thus becomes a time-consuming scavenger hunt. That is so frustrating because there are a lot of time-specific artifacts and historical events that require footnoting in "Vanity Fair;" but after a while I just gave up on the notes.On the other hand; the introduction to this Penguin is great. It provides a philosophical and biographical context; and reveals the editors intelligent appreciation of Thackeray. He is warmly appreciative of Thackerays cynical virtues and hard on his author where he devolves into stereotypes. Once again; however; like the notes; the introduction; are misplaced. As the editor tells you; it is to be read after the book is completed; as it reveals details of the plot that ruin the novels suspense. Why not then make it an "Afterword"?In short; Penguin goes a long way toward ruining a classic novel with its awkward apparatus in this book. Read "Vanity Fair;" but dont read it in the Penguin.
