After years of hearing about this book, I was surprised to find it nothing like I had expected. For one thing, I had thought it was set in Victorian England. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was set in Regency England instead. It also encompassed Waterloo, one of my favorite subjects, although almost none of the descriptions had anything to do with the battle itself, but merely and accurately described the civilians in Brussels while the battles were occurring. However, the constant digressions and wandering off the story line frustrated me to such a degree that I cannot praise the writing. Early in the book, Thackeray claims that there is no hero while he appears to be setting Amelia up to be the heroine. Either his pen then ran away with him or he changed his mind because the majority of the book is about Becky. If he had combined Amelia and Becky into one character, taking the best of both, he might have created one great character. Instead he creates one heartless but talented adventuress and one insipid and foolish but tender and caring woman, either of whom could drive the reader crazy. As to there not being a hero, it is clear that there is one. William Dobbin is not the typical hero, perhaps, but he's the main thrust of the book nevertheless and by today's standards, he makes a perfectly adequate, if not inspired, hero. If Thackeray had just had a heartless editor who would have forced him to drop the digressions and stick to the story, the book would have been half as long and much better written.
