A review by cmbohn
Sharpe's Eagle by Bernard Cornwell

2.0

DNF. This one was a disappointment. The historical detail was fascinating stuff, but the main character --whew! Amazing shot, great fighter, keen tactician, loved by his soldiers, respected by officers, desired by women, self made despite childhood trauma. All the good guys love him, even Lord Wellington himself, and only the incompetent buffoons despise him. This is pure wish fulfillment. I couldn't read another chapter and even took two other Bernard Cornwell books off my TBR.
