I am still working my way through this book. Thackeray wrote it as periodicals for a paper and so there isn't a narrative directly to follow which felt a bit arduous reading it "chapter" by chapter, I have been enjoying it although, Thackeray is deft with his wit and severe with his criticism of "snobs" although as he goes along he begins including himself as a "snob" which initially he denied outright earlier on in the novel. I will write a more comprehensive review when I complete it.
