Book Reviews of Royal Flash (Flashman)
Book Review: A Ripping Great Yarn
Summary: 3 Stars
It's characters like Harry Flashman that made the Empire great. A brilliant soldier, a magnificent tactician and decorated hero...what a pity it's all false! At the very least, misinterpreted.It is a credit to George MacDonald Fraser's literary talent that he took an obscure secondary character from a dusty classic and created a first-class series of historical comic-dramas that, as a history teacher, I would recommend to my students.
The reason I gave this only three stars, though, is that my interests lie in the realm military history and this book, although superb in it's narrative was lacking a really stirring battle sequence.
