Criticize Based On Books Sharpe's Company (Sharpe #13)

This installment of the series brings back the return of a very early nemesis, Hakeswill. I didn't much like him earlier on and with him now being returned certifiably insane, I like him even less. That said, you can tell we are returning to more recently created works since the level and quality of the writing in general has markedly improved over some other recently read duds (I'm looking at you, Sharpe's Gold). While I don't think the storming of Badajoz was quite as well written as Cadiz in

Number 13 in the Richard Sharpe series.The siege of Badajoz from January to April 1812.Of all the conflicts during the Peninsular Wars the taking of Badajoz by the British army was right up there in acts of great heroism. But sadly the acts of rape and pillage done at the hands of the victorious British army to the citizens of Badajoz were of such depravity it was also one of its lowest points.In this tale Richard Sharpe get demoted from Captain back to Lieutenant. Sharpe feels like he has been

I had seen the movie adaptation of Sharpe's Company before I read it and remember coming away from that one thinking Sharpe is actually a massive dickhead. In the novel, he's a lot more sympathetic yet still kind of a dick. Since Company is a lot smaller in scale and with fewer things going on than most Sharpe books, due to most of it just being the lads sitting around waiting for a siege to move on, there's more time for our hero to sit around with his angst, which is not Cornwell's strongest

This was definitely one of my favorites. You get some good city fighting here, lots of house to house stuff. The romance angle is building and it just goes to a great climax.This is a fun series and I read all of them back to back in about a month or so. I read some of the books in one day because A) they're not that long, about 200 to 300 pages B) they're darn good and C) they don't have A,B,C lists like this.If you want good historical fiction that is entertaining and has likable characters,

If you are a fan of the TV series Sharpe with Sean Bean, you will love this book, everything you expect from the billiant author, lots of violence that you expect from this era, and the battles with the French. Very enjoyed, cornwell produces excellent sentences straight to the point, one of the authors that inspire me.

Sharpe is a newly minted Captain...or is he? on the Iberian Peninsula. His worst enemy in the whole British Army, Hakeswill is back, once again sabotaging things and making life hell for all the soldiers under his command. Sharpe's personal life is also getting messy.Sharpe comes to believe his only hope to advance is to lead a suicide charge into the breach.Good stuff.

Another Sharpe book in which he overcomes the British Army's bureaucracy and snobbishness, plus a number of other objectionable characters, and wins the day by courage, intelligence and brute force.Just like all the other ones, then. But I couldn't put it down.
