Book Reviews of Sharpe's Sword
Book Review: Sharpe and Harper: a true friendship revealed!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book in the Sharpe series is one of my all time favorites because it illustrates the reguard that Sgt Harper has for his commanding officer. Wounded by a sadistic enemy officer, Sharpe's only hope lays in his friend Harper and Harper's construction of a replacement sword for Sharpe. While such a relationship between an officer and sgt probably was unheard of, it still makes a facinating read. One sees a strong resemblance between the Sharpe/Harper relationship and the Frodo/Sam relationship in the Lord of the Rings Series by Tolkien. Cornwell does a good job humanizing his characters in this book and making them seem so real to the reader.
Summary of Sharpe's Sword
France's most ruthless assassin failed to kill Captain Richard Sharpe on the first try. He will never get a second. Sharpe follows Leroux across the battlefield, determined to exact his revenge with the cold steel of his sword. "The best series character of the '80s".--Stephen King.Literature & Fiction Books
