I started Vanity Fair once before and couldn't really get into it. However, the second time around was a lot different. I really enjoyed it. Of course there were some spots were it got really dry, but for the most part it was interesting. There was always some kind of twist and turn. The book was about Becky Sharpe's rise to fortune and then her fall and then rise again. It showed how some people can be so cruel and conniving. Amelia was born into wealth and all she wanted was to get married to George Osborne. Her family loses everything and the Osbornes's cast her aside. They won't have anything to do with her until the end of the book. George marries her anyway, but they dies leaving her with a young son. While this is going on, Becky is living it up and not spending any money. However, her husband leaves her and she becomes destitutes until the end when Amelia's brother leaves her money. The story ends will because Amelia marries Captain Dobbin who has loved her from the beginning and has lots of money.
