Weigh Up About Books Sharpe's Company (Sharpe #13)
This installment of the series brings back the return of a very early nemesis, Hakeswill. I didn't much like him earlier on and with him now being returned certifiably insane, I like him even less. That said, you can tell we are returning to more recently created works since the level and quality of the writing in general has markedly improved over some other recently read duds (I'm looking at you, Sharpe's Gold). While I don't think the storming of Badajoz was quite as well written as Cadiz in

Richard Sharpe and the Siege of Badajoz, Spring 1812. I have been reading the Sharpe books in chronological order, and I believe my decision is both helping me understand the evolution of the main character better, and putting a brake on my enjoyment when I come across some earlier written books ( I believe this is the third in publication order) that don't quite reach the high standards I expect from Bernard Cornwell. Sharpe's Company is both a bit simplistic, unsophisticated and an

Sharpe is a newly minted Captain...or is he? on the Iberian Peninsula. His worst enemy in the whole British Army, Hakeswill is back, once again sabotaging things and making life hell for all the soldiers under his command. Sharpe's personal life is also getting messy.Sharpe comes to believe his only hope to advance is to lead a suicide charge into the breach.Good stuff.

I'd forgotten how brilliant Cornwell's writing was. His rush of short sentences with escalating violence combine in Sharpe's case with a berserker insanity and (at this stage in his career) bitter ideation of death. The sack of Bardoiz was like repeated scenes from Goya. I had to go and look at his Disasters of War several times while reading this.I'd partly forgotten the writing because in between reading Cornwell and rereading him, I'd seen Sean Bean's Sharpe Series on TV. It was impossible

This is probably the Sharpe book where the most things go wrong for Sharpe. But its still a very very good read and I look forward to the next one in the series.

I really enjoyed this Sharpe book as it illustrated just how powerless Sharpe was to the whims of others more higher born then he. Everything he held dear looked as though it would be taken from him: his rank, Teresa, and then his new baby daughter. Hakeswill filled me with such repulsion: it is brilliant to read a character so utterly vile and real. I did also love the sweet moment between Sharpe and Harper when Sharpe revealed his love of stars: "You like birds, I like stars." And the loyalty

This book is one of the better entries in the series. I would give it a high 4. Sharpe suffers several setbacks and some notable successes in this novel. He loses his captaincy because his gazette is not approved, he loses command of the Light Company, his mentor and battalion commander is badly wounded and replaced by someone who doesn't believe officers risen from the ranks can do anything but administrative work, and an old nemesis returns (Sgt. Hakeswill). He does reunite with Teresa Moreno
