Product Description

Review
'Exciting, exuberant! leaves the reader waiting for the next' Irish Times

Product Description
Richard Sharpe and the Destruction of Almeida, August 1810 Available for the first time on CD Bold, professional and determined, Richard Sharpe embarks on a desperate mission. He must recover the treasure, vital to the success of the war, now hidden behind enemy lines. The gold is in the possession of a powerful guerrilla leader, feared by ally and enemy alike. And he has no love for Sharpe, the man who has stolen his woman. But Sharpe's fiercest battles lie with the British officers, ignorant of his deadly secret and mistrustful of his ruthless methods.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not his best, 22 Oct 2008
By chuckles "barnie884" (Netherlands) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Sharpe's Gold (Paperback)
A good read, but agree with some of the other reviews, certainly not a Sharpe classic. Without giving away the ending, found it a little out of character and in general the book wasn't as fast paced as the others. However still worth a read

5.0 out of 5 stars enthralling, 17 May 2001
By sgtlarge@hotmail.com (Essex, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sharpe's Gold (Paperback)
This book takes you through a mixture of opinions, mysteries, and adventures. It's like theres 5 different stories rolled into one superbly gelling book. The battle scenes whether large or small are hugely engrosing while in true Cornwell style totally realistic. All i can say is if you have seen the Sharpe movies, this book is a must read because in my opinion, the movie does no justice to it at all because it is a totally different story! It's also a turining point in Sharpe's life because in the book series (not the movies) he meets and falls in love with Tereasa for the first time. Read it!!!!!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Exciting and fast moving, lives up to previous Sharp books, 9 Sep 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Sharpe's Gold (Audio Cassette)
This book is written to the same quality of all of Bernard Cornwell's previous Sharp books and contains the same glouriosly described battle scenes which really bring the book to life. I would reccomend this book to anybody who has read and enjoyed any Sharp books in the past or for those who just enjoy an exciting read.
