Review: Vanity Fair

Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A realistic novel, although a little dull, this work looks into the hearts of men. We all have a tendency to be vain and vanity affects all relationships. This book showed me that humility has no rival in difficulty to master yet must be sought daily.
