Review:While I am a fan of Cornwell's books based in much earlier ages, and not much of a fan of his american history based series, this one is a BIG exception.

This is a wounderfully told story that captivated my attention early in the book and held it throughout - realistic and slightly disreputable hero much like the characters who are heros of the founding of our country ..... Washinton, Jefferson, Franklin, etc.... who ends up serving his country despite himself... ala Carey Grant in Gone w... Read more

Review:Again, a fascinating period of history is brought to vivid life by a writer who, I think, must have been there. I see and hear and smell what is happening in his word pictures and, as always, there is a great deal happening.

I really like Cornwell's writing. Nothing jars, nothing distracts, there is nothing missing that should be there and nothing superfluous that should have been edited out. Read more

Review:Unbelievable! A true disappointment. I have read all of the Saxon Tales and this is a disaster. A
very loose plot, So many loose ends that went nowhere! The ten books from the Saxon Tales

If you were smart, you bought all three so there was no wait time between them. I had to start with Winter King to see if it was good, and after the first chapter, I ordered the other two. Read more

Review:This is another in the Sharpe series of books and it is as entertaining and as exciting as all of them are. This series is historically correct and reminds one of the great stories that so captivates a reader such as the Flashman and Hornblower classics of the past. A great read!! Read more

Review:Cornwell is a great story teller and this continues the excellent start of 'The Last Kingdom'. Gripping and well researched - the historical links give an interesting insight into post Roman Britain. Read more

Review:37-Fools and Mortals by Bernard Cornwell (Novel-E Book-Fiction) 5* Welcome to the War of the Theaters...Bernard Cornwell style. Perhaps it's not the actual main event that history mentions but it is a very close re-creation of the history of the theater and the competitiveness between the different houses to obtain the most patrons and audiences..where money is to be made the stakes are high. In this work the author gives the reader Richard Shakespeare, yes the younger brother of famous Willi... Read more
