Janelle’s Reviews > The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling > Status Update

And here I was hoping that Tom would do something useful to "make his fortune" once he got to London...

The previous sections could have been titled "A comedy of errors occurring in various Inns"

This book is quite a bit more lively and the characters more promiscuous than Victorian books I've read. I wonder if those sort of thing were more talked about in the earlier time period.

All the characters (with the exception of Sophia and Alworthy) are really a bunch of vagabonds

I tend to feel like I know what's going to happen in these old books, but Fielding keeps surprising me.

I'm finding this book surprisingly funny
