This book was written about 270 years ago, yet it is still has relevant today as it was then. I guess that is the definition of a classic. It's amazing though that a book written so long ago could still be relevant. It is one of the funniest books I have read, I would say that I am not one who often laughs out loud after the books I read. This book had me laughing so much though. I loved Fielding's little interruptions in his own story. I loved how he berated his critics. I loved his observations, which, as I've said could still be very much true today. It is funny that after nearly 300 years, people have changed very little. I first heard of this book when I watched the 1997 mini series on BBC with Max Beasley. That is one very favourite TV series to date. It stays relatively close to the book. The ending is a bit different. A bit more satisfactory to a modern audience perhaps.
