Prime entertainment, in the best Flashman tradition March 19, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
The Angel of the Lord of this volume of the Flashman papers is none other than the (in?)famous John Brown, who with his raid on Harper's Ferry provided one of the major sparks to ignite the powder keg of the U.S. civil war.
It should come as no surprise to fellow-addicts that Flashman knew John Brown (and Jeb Stuart, and Lee, and a score of others), and was even present at Harper's Ferry. The how and why - needless to say: not at Flashy's own bidding - is dealt with at large in this novel, in Fraser's inimitable style: at times serious, but most of the time extremely laughable and humouristic.
Another Flashman-novel that both informs and entertains, what more could one ask for? Get it and enjoy.
Flashman Never fails to Entertain April 11, 2006

Not one of the best Flashman novels but still well worth a read -
As always our hero gets himself in the usual brand of trouble as a result of his libido and plays his part in a seminal monent in History - I enjoy Flashmans adventures in India more than his American ones but I still throughly enjoyed this book.
If you have never read a Flashman I recommend starting this series from the start and working your way through all 12 that way you'll maximise your enjoyment and ensure this loveable rogue finds a permanent place on your bookshelf. BRAVO FLASHY!!
