Flashman and the Angel of the Lord Audiobook

" Interesting look at John Brown "

" A different look at John Brown and Harper's Ferry.. "

" Flashie is always a pleasure. I read this one as I rode the train across the country. Coincidentally, we went through Harpers Ferry which is the scene of much of this book, a satire with remarkable historic detail. "

" John Brown: mad for God, mad for glory. "

" Funny fiction of a rotten British agent in the 19th Century. Good history lesson too. "

" A lot of history and not a lot of action. If you are interested in John Brown and the abolitionists, you'll get a lot out of it. If not, it's just an endless character description of a dithering zealot, and what exactly happened at Harper's Ferry. Not the best Flashman IMO. "

" Not my favourite of the series perhaps because I didn't know much about the history in this case "

" God why did I read this extremely chauvinistic and amatory book?? *horrified* "

" Flashman reluctantly participates in John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry, WV, 1859. "

" Superior. A chuckle a page. "

" Flashy joins John Brown. "

" Fantastic on its own. 50/50 if you are already a flashy fan. I feel slightly bad giving it only three stars but compared to the great game and the other greats i think thats all i can give it at the moment. Sorry Flashy. "

" Kicks ass, rollicking good read about an English officer who's a total bastard yet always lands with his ass in the butter... very funny, raunchy and educational, as the author always portrays him crucial historical events that changed history. "

" Finally read Flashman after a friend recommended it 5 years ago--it was just as good as she said, history for schoolboys. "

" American Civil war is a bit boring to me so it was a struggle to get through this book. "

" I've read all the Flashman books and loved every one.I first encountered the character in The American a stand alone novel.He is minor character. Then I realized I had 25 years worth of novels to read. Really funny, a humourous take on history. "

" Flashy! If you're not reading a Flashman book, you should be. And don't skip the footnotes. Though it's near to impossible to find one that's better than another, this one and Flashman at the Charge! are my two favorites. "

" Decent outing. To be honest I like it better when Flashy is in tropical climes. The American novels leave me a bit cold... "

" Not my favorite Flashman, but still entertaining. Oh, Flashy. You old so-and-so. "

" Being American and loving the time around the Civil War in particular this volume of the Flashman Papers was a real treat. I like seeing famous Americans who seem larger than life in our history books through the eyes of a self-important Englishman. "

" In the same very enjoyable vein of fiction as Thomas Berger's Little Big Man and possessing some of the same narrative rhythm as Huckleberry Finn. "
