review 1: La trama è interessante, almeno all'inizio. La narrazione storica del truculento matriarcato delle Gropes è simpatica e priuttosto divertente. L'inizio quindi era decisamente promettente.Poi man mano che compaiono i veri protagonisti va tutto a rotoli e diventa una storia senza senso e senza divertimento, con continui cambi di scena e di indentità che si trascinano stancamento fino a un finale scialbo.Poi, ma perlamordiddio, il protagonista ha 17 anni, e si sposa la zia trentacinquenne, pure bigama, e nessuno, ma proprio nessuno fa una piega? E questa sarebbe una commedia divertente?Devo avere frainteso qualcosa...
review 2: I have read many of Sharpe's novels in the past and have thoroughly enjoyed them all. This one, however, I have to admit, left me cold ... moreto say the least. Starts off in the typical Sharpe manner but after chapter two it begins a steady demise through mediocrity before coming to rest on a rushed ending. It's only saving grace for me was that it was so short. But perhaps that was its biggest flaw also, with many plot points coming in almost single sentence form. One feels like one is reading a drawn out pub joke. Unfortunately, the punch line cannot even be described as un-funny since it doesn't exist.My advice to readers; If this is your first Sharpe novel, read Wilt instead. If it is your most recent Sharpe novel........ Skip it. less
