The book was good and the story is interesting, but the author had a great need to explain everything.

This was all right. Way too long tho.
Vanity Fair like other British classics is a study of the white wealthy nobility. This story follows many characters, but the main two are Becky and Amelia. These two are friends as young girls, but distance and time see the slow end of that. We also see how these two respond differently to the challenges of life.
At times this was kind of sarcastic and funny. But overall I was just not impressed. I did get a bit more interested when Becky starts getting money out of the men in her life. Unfortunately, she is villainized and sent off to exile, so I was done by that point. Amelia felt like a cardboard cut out of a woman tbh. I didn't hate this, but it wasn't particularly fun either.
Rep: Mainly all white, wealthy, cishet and abled bodied cast. Fat male side character, male side character with a lisp/speech impediment.
CWs: Misogyny, racism, racial slurs, colonisation, xenophobia. Moderate: toxic friendship, death, sexism, antisemitism, grief. Minor: war.Â
