I have been a fan of Vanity Fair for years, though the book was a difficult one to read. Here, the drama, although the begining and the ending were a little out of place, the story was presented beautifully and showed exactly how Becky's character really was and how it was developed. I really enjoyed the leading lady's performance, that was just enough, not too overplayed, but not too simple either. However, I did find the war scenes kind of boring. And the ending was left open. So, 7 out of 10.
