A terrific book - bold, funny, scathing and quite unpredictable
Al Murray
Becky Sharp is one of the best bad women in literature ...she is deliciously bad in an era when women were not meant to be
Donna Leon
Becky Sharp may be one of literature's great schemers, but she's also one of its most memorable and entertaining. More rounded than almost all the simpering Victorian dolls who followed, she alone is worth the read
The Times
Still one of the bitchiest, cattiest, funniest and most entertaining novels ever written
Katy Guest, The Independent
The best thing he ever wrote - sharp, brilliant, touching, clever and cruel, with an unforgettable heroine
Joanna Trollope
The only English novel which...challenges comparison with War and Peace
John Carey
Witty, sexy, sandy-haired Becky Sharp, whose impoverished background explains her hunger for rich men and high position. She is a rebel from the very first chapter of Thackeray's Vanity Fair. Her one final act of kindness derives from her constant virtue: seeing things as they are
Maggie Gee, Independent
