    <body><![CDATA[This is the first (although not chronologically) of Bernard Cornwell's highly acclaimed Sharpe series.<br/>The series follows Richard Sharpe as he rises in the ranks of the British army through the early 1800s. I'm not a big lover of reading long battle scenes; frankly, they put me to sleep. But lo...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/14276601">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Will Sharpe prevail?  Of course he will.  Will he get the girl?  Of course.  Will he lose the girl?  Uh huh.  Will he get into trouble with British military command?  You bet.  Will he be in a big battle somewhere near the end of the book?  You got it.<br/><br/>So okay, Cornwell writes formulaic b...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/7730306">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The 'taking of the colors' to a military unit is the ultimate shame. Its the basis of 'capture the flag' in so many games. In the Napoleonic wars, The Emperor himself 'blessed' the unit standards, which were gold (brass) eagles mounted on a pole, instead of a flag or banner. To capture an enemy unit...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4381297">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is the first in Bernard Cornwell's &quot;Sharpe&quot; series about riflemen in the Napoleonic wars.  It reads quickly, but it's a great escape.  <br/><br/><em>Sharpe's Eagle</em> is at its best in battle, where the novel puts the reader right into the thick of the powder smoke, the hand-to-hand brawls...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/749230">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[OMG, so good! Sharpe is a fantastic character, and Cornwell is a very good writer. I'm certain that anyone who likes military fiction will love this. My only complaint is that I was a bit uncomfortable with the romance in this, but it wasn't something that was supposed to be good for the main charac...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/20000247">more...</a>]]></body>
