One of the best Sharoe books yet!

After finishing this book I thought it was one of the best of the series.

One of the Best

When I first read this book, nearly three years I found it intriguing, exciting, and delightful. A few weeks ago I picked it up and read it again, and it was just as good the second time around, especially the meeting of Loup. Cornwell certainly out did himself with this one.

Shape's Battle is another triumph for Bernard Cornwell

Once again, Bernard Cornwell has written an exciting page-turner of a book. I found it very addictive - staying up late at night to finish it. I recommend it to all who enjoy a good historical action/adventure book in the genre of Horatio Hornblower.I can't wait to read more books of the Sharpe series.

Outstanding!

Once again Mr. Cornwell takes us onto the battlefield of the French and the British (and Portuguese, German, Spanish, and Irish, et. al.). He does it with exquisite accuracy. Only one or two writers are able to make me feel the battlefield as can Mr. Cornwell. You can feel the dirt, the grit, heat, and the life of a soldier in 1811 in Portugal. Mr. Cornwell does an admirable job of letting you know what is being done...
