Review:
Praise for the Flashman series
"Hilariously funny."--The New York Times Book Review "Great dirty fun!"--Grand Rapids Press "The most entertaining anti-hero in a long time... Moves from one ribald and deliciously corrupt episode to the next... Wonderful and scandalous."--Publishers Weekly "Raises dastardliness to the level of an art... One of the most amusing and sardonic novels I have ever read!"--Omaha World "As irreverent and picaresque as Tom Jones and always more dramatic... Flashman is a one-man demolition squad!"--Chicago Today "Marvelously entertaining... A delight!"--Providence Journal
