The Newcomes by William Makepeace Thackeray

burritapal_1's review against another edition

Did not finish at 48%. It's a good book, if overlong. Moreover,  there's a ton of text in French. If it were Spanish, I wouldn't have to constantly use translater. See all those notes i made? 99% are French translations. It's keeping me from reading my other library books for almost a week, now.

I love Vanity Fair, though. I was intrigued because Thackeray apparently believed The Newcomes to be his best work.

emotional slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No
