I simply have not been able to get through this book. It's quite a clever send up of the social behaviors of the day, which also reflects upon our own. But i tired of the ongoing character sketches even when I enjoyed them a great deal at the beginning. It just never seems to end.
I set it aside. I think I am curious enough to find out what happens with Becky Sharp. Will she get her comeuppence? Maybe this summer I'll find out.
