Vanity Fair

Just finished Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray : that was a veeeeery long read, but very interesting. It is somewhat similar to some other classics I read previously like Pride and Prejudice or Jane Eyre in that the main characters are young women, living in upper classes of the English society.
The style is a bit difficult, because the author is the narrator, and sometimes widely digresses, taking a step back to reflect on his characters, or writing about his very own life.

Here's a (very) brief summary of the story:
Amelia Sedley is rich, but fair and timid; she's hopelessly in love with of her childhood's relative, George Osborne. Becky Sharp is poor, but alluring and quick-witted and is ready to fight to elevate in society. They both come out of the same school at the same time, and their destinies will cross each other many times, but always in different directions: Amelia will touch the bottom but will get angelic help to get back to life whereas Becky will raise herself to the highest company before inevitably falling down.
This book is a Fair, where the characters are invited to show their Vanity, and every character, the humble as the arrogant, the weak as the strong, as Vanity in abundance. Vanity seems to be the first natural act of a human being in society.
