Flashman and the Tiger Audiobook

" The last of the Flashmans is a set of a novella and two short stories. Flashman is an old man in these and they don't feature the same sort of rollickingness of earlier stories. The second one in particular is very flat. I'll be sorry to see the cowardly fool go, mind. Rated M for some violence, sex scenes and adult themes. 3/5 "

" Flashman and the Tiger is the penultimate Flashman book and it's a collection of two novellas and a short story. It's also the driest of all the Flashman books, by far. One of the novellas is about a Baccarat Scandal, of all things. Flashman, sad to say, is most at home at war, or at least skullduggery. "

" By far the worst of the Flashman series. "

" 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. "

" Great faux-history. A series for the ages. "

" Brilliant if you like the narrator's English Public School POV style of writing. The stories are wonderfully twisted, like good mysteries wrapped up in mischief. "

" Three distinct episodes, but yet one of the best Flashman books in the series! Pity that the series ends here (I think), but it was a great tail-end flourish all the same. A standing ovation. "

" the short story format isn't the greatest for Flashy, but if you're a completest it's still pretty enjoyable "

" Flashy again "

" Whole series is great, the only historical fiction I've ever enjoyed. This was my favorite, adventures in Bengal. As my grandfather said, sometimes it's hard not to just skip to the sex scenes. "

" Only just a little great. "

" Not quite there "

" One of a series of Flashman books I read in late 2009 at the urging of my brother Don, another big Flashman fan. "

" Flashman and the Tiger is particularly enjoyable for its allusions to Conan Doyle, but the cover got me very confused while I was reading the first two stories, which provide a lot of insight into Europe c. 1880, a deliciously decadent period. "

" Not my favorite - it was a good read but came across as a little too contrived "

" I had forgotten about Flashman. I read this one, just about died laughing, and had such a hard time finding other editions to the series I gave up. Great reading. "

" The entire Flashman series is a delight. I love this one mostly because it shows how clever his wife is. Flashman is always claiming that his wife is brainless but when he is finally at home enough to see her in action it takes his breath away. "
