A Review: Glittering Vices by Rebecca Konyndyk DeYoung.
Although there is no agreement as to what the seven capital vices are, the author settles on envy, vainglory, sloth, avarice, anger, gluttony, and lust, treating each in its own chapter along with several “off spring vices” of each.

Even those already familiar with the traditional vices and virtues may find it a worthwhile read, either for the vice “remedies” or for a solid recommendation for others interested in the topic.
