Sharpe's Fury (Abridged): Barossa, 1811 Audiobook

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

" I love Sharpe's books, however, this one is not his best adventures. There seems to be a bit too much going on and the writing is oddly repetitive. Ah well. I did enjoy reading about Ensign Keogh, Sergeant Masterson and the Irishmen of the 87th. Faugh a ballagh! "

" This is my least favorite Sharpe book, although it has my very favorite sentence. Go figure. "

" I like the history. The scope of Sharpe's adventure is quite small when compared to Waterloo, but fun nonetheless. It seems that half, or perhaps more than half, the book is dedicated to fleshing out real historical characters in areas where Sharpe is not a consideration. "

" Not quite as furious as the title makes out, but it does introduce General Graham to the reader. A solid entry in the series, but definitely not my favorite one. "

" Not nearly as good as the original Sharpe books. Too much battles without Sharpe or any of his fury. "

" I thought this one was a little forced. Sharpe seemed more of a witness rather than the driving force. That said, I did stay up late reading to finish when I should have been in bed, so it still kept me reading. "

" Love the descriptions! "

" 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. "

" I am a huge fan of the Sharpe books, and this one didn't disappoint. The usual rip-roaring adventure, based on real events in the Peninsular War, this time in Cadiz. Sharpe gets shot in the head but still gets sent on a special mission, and saves the day. A real page-turner. "

" Bernard Cornwell's formula is wearing a bit thin if, like me, you'as one of the infills where he's gone back and written new novels in the gaps in Richard Sharpe's story that he'd previously left. "

" Sharpe's books are never bad but this wasnt a stand out of the series "

" Another enjoyable Sharpe novel. If you know the Sharpe books, you will know what to expect. The basic plot was a bit forced, but once we got past the tedious explanation of what he is doing in Cadiz this is a pretty good novel, and the action scenes are as ever very good. "

" Another good Sharpe book. "

" Sharpe #11 "

" Not the best Sharpe novel, but most Sharpe books are 5 out of 5 stars and the series as a whole is also 5 out of 5 stars! If you want a book that will intrigue you in the first half, grip you in the second and explode at the end, you want Bernard Cornwell! "

" This book felt like filler in the Series. I kept waiting for Sharpe's fury... and was left feeling like just another day at the office... when the office is the 19th Century European wars. "

" No historical epitaph. "

" Fun story with several subplots. Likable hero. Learned a lot about English-French-Spanish military history. "

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

" Not bad, but not as god as others in the series. "

" Always enjoy reading these. Richard Sharpe has to be one of the best heroes ever created. "

" Bernard Cornwell uses his usual blend of wit, excitement and immaculate historical detail to produce a fantastic and entertaining read. Anyone who likes well-researched, well-written historical fiction MUST read Cornwell! "

" Richard Sharpe is perfect therapy for when I hit a wall on another read. I can pick up a Sharpe story and knock it out in just a few sittings. "
