A lover of books:
Bernard Cornwell is my favorite historical author. I like the Sharpes series, but of course my favorite is The Last Kingdom series.

What more need be said? I guess not all the books in the series are of the same caliber, but this is one of the best I've read.

I think this is at the top of Cornwell,s best books. Great drama, intrigue, elaborate descriptions of each setting, and mood of the action, or love making.

History teacher here, the Sharpe series is wonderful for escaping to a yesterday of smoke, heroism and adventure.
You become part of the battles, absolutely engrossing! Enjoy!

I am amazed by Cornwell's writing. I am amazed by Cornwell's storytelling. I am amazed with the characters Cornwell has developed in this series. I saw the TV series several years ago before I read the books and I thought it was unlikely I'd ever read the books because the TV series was quite good. I'm an avid fiction reader and love a well written series but was out of anything I liked. On that basis I decided to read the first book in the series and was surprised to find that over the years the book series had been added to extensively since the TV series. I've read the entire series up to Sharpe's sword but this is my first review. Every book has been exceptional and Sharpe's Sword has meticulously accurate historical content woven into the breadth of this fictional character's story. Cornwell has a talent for taking the reader back to the time and place minus modern sensibilities but it is all done in a respectful way. I obviously didn't live in those times but I'm an avid historical fiction and history reader and Cornwell nails down the time and place vividly without beating the reader over the head with it. I highly recommend Sharpe's Sword and would...

Gostei do livro mesmo sabendo que desta vez não estava baseado em um evento real das guerras entre Inglaterra e França

Tillie:
If it weren't for some minor and major inconsistencies in the storyline the Sharpe series would surely be the work of a genius! As it is the author should have reread his previous books more carefully. Nevertheless, once you've started reading Sharpe (and are not totally repelled by the bloody descriptions of fighting) you will not stop.
