I thought the last third of the book dragged a bit, but I still enjoyed it. :) I don't remember it well enough (I read it three years ago) to compare it in detail to W&P.

Vanity Fair was published 20-odd years before War & Peace so, yup, could be I suppose! I'm interested to read Carey's introduction myself now ...
