Summary

Like Tom Jones before him, Barry Lyndon is one of the most lively and roguish characters in English literature. He may now be best known through the colorful Stanley Kubrick film released in 1975, but it is Thackeray who, in true 19th-century style, shows him best.

meh

I'm sure it's a good book but it seems to stagnate at certain points and I find myself zoning out alot. I also don't really understand "high society" or the older days these people had no jobs and did nothing all day yet had so much £££ seems like all they did was spend money and to to balls and constantly worry about Thier status. waste of time.

Brilliant Performance of a classic

A brilliant performance of a classic. The novel stands up very well and the narration is masterful - clear spoken, full of character and emotion and with many deft touches that help bring the text to life. Highly recommended!
