    "Bernard Cornwell at his best"
    What did you love best about Sharpe's Tiger?

    Remarkable historical detail, contained in an atmospheric and gripping novel


    What did you like best about this story?

    It moves quickly, and is compelling and believable.


    What about Frederick Davidson’s performance did you like?

    I love Frederick Davidson's performances, though some may find his distinct upper class accent a tad off-putting. I'm a huge fan, but check out the clip before buying.

    "good after a slow start"
    What made the experience of listening to Sharpe's Tiger the most enjoyable?

    character development and story mixed with some history


    Any additional comments?

    Too much war at the beginning, but then the story becomes more about the characters within the context of the war. Some unpleasantly violent scenarios.

    "A rare top rating from me . . . But Read Them in Order! . . . 😱"

    Fascinating historical fiction of the British Empire and the East India Company in India in the 1790’s.
    Takes you there. Engages you. Entertains you. And educates you to life in the 18th Century . .. 😱
    ______________________________________________________
    5 stars is great (I rarely give this rating).
    4 stars is good (given only to interesting and well-written books).
    3 stars is OK (the usual listen I encounter on Audible).
    2 stars is poor (and not worth the credit or the listen).
    1 star is awful (and to be diss'ed and shunned and spread as thus through out the Audible Universe)!
    . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 😱

    "Outstanding Action"

    Overall this was a very good book. However the attention to detail of where guns were placed and the description of the walls, etc. became tedious. The action was outstanding and the characters superb. I do love Cornwall's writing. Overall it was good enough that I will be looking for the next book.

    "a surprising pleasure"

    this series came recommended to me based on my Adoration of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series. It is decidedly male counterpart to with her writing I unexpectedly found myself completely drawn in by the characters and the plot. I would like to have a word or two with that sergeant and may have been seen in my car yelling from time to time. one cannot help but love sharp for the way that he simply accepts his fate and rose into a man who feels himself a soldier Worth Fighting For. The honest grappling with his lot in life and his decision to stay or go within an army that is predictable but unjust was quite compelling. perhaps the thing I loved about him most was his relationship with Mrs Bickerstaff and the expression of his wanting her to have a good life. some of the more graphic scenes were a bit violent for my taste and I muted through a total of five or six sentences but could otherwise handle it all. I recommend this book. it was an enjoyable read, and I will be listening to the next in the series! the actor who read the book was truly a delight to listen to and is welcome in my vehicle any time.

    "great as usual"

    I've finished 20 Cornwell books so far. Loved each and every one of them the Saxon Tales as well as the Excalibur series and now Richard Sharpe.
