Flashman and the Mountain of Light Audiobook

" One of the best Flashmans. Flashy's "Madam, I am a British Officer" line was fun. "

" Flashy! If you're not reading a Flashman book, you should be. And don't skip the footnotes. "

" This was the first Flashman book I read, and I absolutely loved it. Flashy has lost some of his sharper edges, but is still a coward and a scoundrel. Flashy gets appointed British ambassador to a region in India about to rebel against the Empire, but Flashy's not quite up to speed. Lots of fun, mostly because of the way in which Flashman reflects both on himself and the events he witnessed. "

" Reread for fun. I highly recommend the entire Flashman series. They are all historically accurate and extraoredinarily entertaining at the same time. This episode of the Flashman Papers has him in India for the Sikh Rebellions. He of course, plays a key role, romping, gallivanting and cowardly seeking refuge as only Flash can do. "

" Not my favorite Flashman, but any Flashy is better than none. "

" I didn't like this Flashman as much as the others I've read, because it contains a lot of military history--very much the schoolboy read, complete with gyrating Oriental orgies. Ahem. "

" Delightfully politically incorrect and more than a little naughty, I highly recommend this for the less-than-easily-offended among you. "

" Who knew that Sikh history could be full of sex drugs and rock & roll. "

" Swaggering, cowardly, opportunistic Harry Flashman is in it again, and with his usual good fortune comes out smelling like a hero.I enjoy the rambunctious voice and the immaculate period detail. These books are winners. "

" In which Flashman is remarkably brave much to his own suprise. "

" Sex and lunacy. "

" 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. "

" flashman in northern india, goes up against the sikhs "

" Re-reading, actually. No one does historical fiction better than Fraser. Not just satirical historical fiction -- all historical fiction. "

" More Flashman fun, in what has to be the most peculiar war I've ever had the pleasure to read about--in which a force superior in every way to its enemy was required to find a way to *lose* (without being too obvious about it). Not my favorite of the series, but good for a Flashy fix. "

" For some unknown reason I take great pleasure in reading Flashman on long train journies. I guess tales of cowardice in the Victorian age make the mundane trip go quicker. Sadly I only have a few more to go. "

" Bawdy good fun "

" Of a piece with Flashman's other adventures in this area of the world. Well done, lots of interesting historical detail, and fine adventure. "

" I've read a number of the Flashman series books, and decided to pick this one only because it concerns India. Has some decent amount of historical information as most of the books do. I may want to read a history of the Koh-i-noor after reading this novel. "

" Oh My GOD! I love this series of books. "

" Amusing adventures! "

" Harry Flashman is the type of character I tend to love, but if he offered to buy me a drink, I should kick him in the nuts. Probably wouldn't though. He's a cheeky devil and I doubt I could resist his charms anymore than most of the characters the Flashman books. Love the writing and love Flashy! "

" I was disappointed by this series. "

" lt flashman was not the mystery dinner theatre killer! "

" Oh My GOD! I love this series of books. "

" Another wonderful and disturbing chapter of India's rich and sometimes dangerously feudal history. "

" Flashman is for the ages, as pointed out in this book. He is always at a pivotal point in history and helps make the turn, unwillingly and anadvertantly. The bad boy as man continues to make the best of reads in accurate historical settings. Don't miss Flashman. "
