Sharpe's Prey: The Expedition to Denmark, 1807 Audiobook

" great author who interweaves history into a story that is easily followed and hard to put down "

" I love most of Cornwell's books. I enjoyed this, but less so than some in this series. "

" Filling in the gaps is fun, but this is stretching things a bit too far! Placing Sharpe in this historical setting was a bit too manufactured for me. Although I enjoyed seeing Sharpe away from the action in England at the start of the book. "

" What can I say? Another wonderful journey back to Napoleonic times with Bernard Cornwell in his guise as Richard Sharpe. I learned a lot more about the beginnings of the Napoleonic Wars. Didn't realize how Britain had invaded Denmark to keep the Danish war ships falling into the hands of the French. "

" OK, I'm pretty compulsive about this series. "

" Interesting book about a historical event I knew nothing about. Onto the last Sharpe novel for a while. Who knew Britain attacked Denmark?? "

" A rather mediocre installment in Cornwell's 'Sharpe' series. "

" He really doesn't have to find a new girl every single book for me to be entertained. "

" Always fun, you can always cound of Sharpe and Cornwall for a ripping good yarn. "

" This seems to have been almost written by a different author. Sharpe seems soft, expresses more emotions, and is different from the hard, calloused man we read about in the first books. The story was still OK, though, and moved along well. Overall, this receives an OK from me. "

" One of the better Sharpe books "

" Was great to read this adventure while on my way to Scandinavia. It also incorporates the previous book into the current plot nicely while detracting enough from what I though quite a dull previous book to produce something a lot more similar to the books based in India. "

" Even the battles were fairly interesting and I love the way Sharpe suffers so uncomplainingly. I don't care how often Cornwell describes Sharpe's black hair- I still 'see' Sean Bean! "

" didn't read this and don't know how it got on my booklist, but I couldn't remove it. "

" Another excellent read. Britain does not come out well in this attack on neutral Denmark in 1807 - indeed it is an episode largely ignored by British historians. "

" Bernard Cornwell brings a good story & History together wonderfully. "

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

" Another fantastic read, with Sharpe going on cover ops in Denmark in 1807, in the British effort to prevent the not insignificant Danish fleet from falling into French hands. "

" Good novel. Fast moving. Sharpe is a bad ass soldier. "

" I am absolutely delighted with the character's and fine weave of historical fact and fiction in the Sharpe's books that I have read so far. "

" He really doesn't have to find a new girl every single book for me to be entertained. "

" Not my favorite Sharpe book, possibly because the British expedition to Copenhagen was such an obvious bit of idiotic international thuggery. Not Britain's finest hour by any means. And in character with that, Sharpe seems even more of a brutal thug than usual himself. "

" I don't know if I'm buying Cornwell's utopic view of 19th century Denmark. The Danish books that I've read don't paint in such a positive light. "

" Always fun, you can always cound of Sharpe and Cornwall for a ripping good yarn. "
