Sharpe's Battle: The Battle of Fuentes de Onoro, May 1811 Audiobook

" I liked this one better than the last one. It didn't seem quite so forced. "

" This is another of the very good one's in the series. Good battle descriptions with Sharpe actively involved. Nicely drawn villain with satisfying ending. Story line again placed within an actual battle of the Peninsula War, so the reader is learning some genuine history along with the excitement. "

" Typical Sharpe stories are better than most. This did not disappoint. Some of Cornwell's best writing is his description of major battles. This book focuses in on the power and strength of the infantry square. Add enemy infantry and British riflemen to the mix and we find out why Wellington's army was so hard to kill. "

" For some reason I really like this series although it's a far cry from the "Goldie Bear" series I also enjoy. This book just wasn't one of my favorites although it is well written and certainly exciting. It's pretty violent (no surprise there), maybe a bit more violent than most in this series and I guess that's why it isn't one of my favorites. "

" Fantastic read, Sharpe is sooo cool and I just love the books. "

" Heard the author on NPR and thought I'd give it a try. A little heavy on the battle scenes, but well written and I learned some early 1800s European history. "

" Sharpe once again has to rescue his reputation through an act of derring-do, this time at the Battle of Fuentes de Onoro. The usual shenanigans. Rated MA for frequent violence and some adult concepts. 3/5 "

" I cannot believe that Sharpe slept with that double-agent whore. Well, I can, but I'm still disappointed. "

" Really good, if you like others in the series this is a must. "

" Fun series; good installment. "

" War is hell "

" Story ends with the very bloody battle of Fuertes de Onero Sharpe gets into trouble again by following his principles but redeems himself with excellent fighting as usual. "

" Sharpe's Battle wasn't as good as the original core of Sharpe novels, but its far better than the more rushed and recent Sharpe novels. For my complete lengthy review, visit ithinkthereforeireview.blogspot.com "

" The Richard Sharpe series is a magnificent work of historical fiction. Bernard Cornwell has written an amazing series following Sharpe from a private in India to a Lt. Colonel at Waterloo and then a civilian farmer. "

" Still reading the series and enjoying it "

" For once Sharpe isn't going to rescue a Lady in Need. This is about gritty King of the Hill type of war. "

" Another good Sharpe book. "

" I am working my way through this series. I have enjoyed every book so far, but some situations are starting to repeat. Not the details but the fact that Sharpe and Harper get in trouble and have to kill a bunch of people to get out. Not much suspense in that. "

" Really good entry in the series. Listened to most of it as an audio book. Great narrator and a really good audio book. Made the hours between LA and Oakland on I-5, one of the most boring drives in the world, race by. "

" Have to finish this series! "

" Love the battle, tactics, camaraderie, and the history. "
