Royal Flash Audiobook

" This is my least favorite Flashman, although I learned lots about German history. As always Fraser's notes are meticulous. "

" this one was a movie and the book is better. read it. love the rascal that is Harry Flashman! hard to put down or forget. "

" I can see why Flashman has a cult following: he is deceitful and naughty and manipulative, but somehow still kind of jolly and likeable. He gets himself in and out of various scrapes, and it is a good thing that he is tricked as often as he tricks others. This is the first one i read, and mostly in the bathtub, so didn't pay strict attention to the plot. I do like the historical thing, and somehow this relates to the Prisoner of Zenda which I never read so it went by me. "

" Great fun. Quick and witty. "

" The writing was as witty and quick as in the first Flash book, but I preferred this. I think Flash feels more rounded as a character here, and while he is still a coward, liar, womaniser etc, he is just that little bit less of a villain, so easier to read. "

" Harry Flashman is a riot. Such a cad... but ends up making you laugh so hard. He's like someone who is tossed and lands on his feet. BEST so far. "

" A bit too Zenda, but still a good second showing for Flashy. I'm going to be so sad when I finish this series. "

" I love the Flashman novels. On to #3! "

" What a wonderful romp through another chapter of Ol' Harry Flashman's life. Enjoyed every moment! "

" Flashman was slightly less dispicable in this book and I was introduced to Lola Montez for the first time so I walked away having learned something. "

" Great anti-hero true cad with the ladies ends up at the center of some of the greatest military faiures in british history about to soil himself but survives to a ripe old age "

" An absolute rollicking pleasure from beginning to end! Bring on the remaining 9 (or 10) books! "

" Another excellent read, although it does suffer from a relatively far fetched plot. "

" Being that this adventure was set in Germany I got all the German nuances that the author was writing about. Ole Flashy is still a coward but much more likeable than the first book. "

" Possibly my favorite of the Flashman series, if only for its borrowing of elements from "The Prisoner of Zenda" and rousing portrayal of Lola Montes... "

" Funny and fresh - not a book I normally would read, but glad I picked it up! "

" Not as good as the first Flashman book. Maybe it deserves three stars, but it's basically a reprisal of The Prisoner of Zenda, though not as good. Still, it's worth reading if you're going to read the rest of the series. "

" The cad imposter is at it again. "

" Again, and excellent tale "
