Ell Crown (Newcastle upon Tyne) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sharpe's Story (Paperback)

Bought as a gift for my husband who has read all the Sharp novels. He found the 3 books in this series really good for background information, added more to the characterisation and gave an isight as to why Cornwell wrote the books. Well worth the money

2.0 out of 5 stars OK, 24 Nov 2009

GPM (London, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sharpe's Story (Paperback)

Explains a lot of detail and some nice touches about how the actors changed the authors perception of the characters. Not sure it's worth the money.

Interesting and informative. A bit cheeky to publish it as a book in its own right and charge for what I consider should be an addendum.
