Prime entertainment, in the best Flashman tradition - By: Didier, 19 Mar 2007 
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, & Lee, & a score of others), & was even present at Harper's Ferry. The how & why - needless to say: not at Flashy's own bidding - is dealt with at largein this novel,in Fraser's inimitable style: at times serious, but most of the time extremely laughable & humouristic.
Another Flashman-novel that both informs & entertains, what more could one ask for? Get it & enjoy.
Flashman Never fails to Entertain - By: James Connolly, 11 Apr 2006 Not one of the best Flashman novels but still well worth a read -
As always our hero gets himselfin the usual brand of trouble as a result of his libido & plays his partin a seminal monentin History - I enjoy Flashmans adventuresin 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 & working your way through all 12 that way you'll maximise your enjoyment & ensure this loveable rogue finds a permanent place on your bookshelf. BRAVO FLASHY!!
