I like the Sharpe series and I like this book. Cornwell does a lot of research into the time period and it shows. He also writes combat brilliantly. If you wanted a rollicking adventure in the Napoleonic period, you could do far worse than Sharpe. As an aside, Sean Bean played Sharpe in a BBC miniseries, so when he touches a sword in Fellowship of the Ring and says,”still sharp “ it‘s an homage to Sharpe
