I was down town and stumbled into a charity shop, I enjoy reading and wanted to see what books they had. After looking around, seen a little box packed with books. It was a box full of Sharpe books, the entire box was £7 and I give the shop keeper £20 for them. Audio book is very good. Hakeswell couldn't have been played more perfectly in the series, exactly like he really is, so similar to the book it's an incredible performance.
I love these stories. Bernard knows how to make a mess get you mortified even outraged then tie it all together into proper screeching atonement. I have binged all of them 3 times thru in the last few years. Its much better to let your mind paint the characters and settings. My eyes like it better than tv as well.
As a high school student I worked in a public library for pocket money. I used to shelve the sharpe series often along with the flashman series. I always thought what crap this must be. Then I got into Hornblower and naturally came across Sharpe again. Both are phenomenal series and I’ve heard a lot about flashman too so I hope to get into that one day.
I came across Bernard Cornwell and really enjoyed his writings. Then I find Sharpe... Albeit first part of the last book. So now I'm looking fwd to the whole damn series. I'm stoked!
I've read or listened to about every Cornwell book now minus this series. I've even read the non fiction ones. TY for posting this. I figure I've spent hundreds on Cornwell's books and things are tight so here I am...
Cornwell really brings history to life, making it equatable to the average person! He's been soft on the horrors of colonialism and it's abuses, but it truly was a different cultural time, and the English weren't Mongols! LoL! Mostly?
So an officer could order a soldier to be flogged on a whim, without the court martial?! This is confusing because Welsley said later that the time to claim Sharpe's innocence was during the court martial...
The difference in volume between the shouting portions and the normal speaking is just to the point of being unpleasant no matter how you listen to it. Either you lower the volume so the shouting is an ok volume and the speaking is now too quiet or you raise it to hear the speaking at a normal level and now this shouting is way too loud. How does nobody who produces a fucking audio book understand the concept of volume normalisation.
I'm surprised how badly things are mixed up in the short time of this YT-short. Especially comming from this Channel. Almost every latest discussion over reparations in regard to Germany, want to held the german STATE accountable. Most modern states actually do claim/are accountet to be in some form of historic, political and legal tradition of some preceding political construction (old kingdoms, old republics or some old duchy which today is part of the states territory). And soldiers killed in action, normally are not seen as crime on its own. Only maybe if the war is seen as illegal, like a "illegal" war of aggression. Reparations are a complex topic, where details matter, and this YT-short butchers the topic to the degree of meaninglessness.
When a book says someone yells or screeches, a good narrator will get into character and read in different volumes and in different accents. If you don't want a good narrator, maybe read a physical book.

Do you know Sgt. Hakeswell!?
Thanks I love Bernard Cornwell
@@williamlawson8511 A truly dedicated soldier. Imagine being in the ranks under him .
Says so in the scriptures 🤪
@@williamlawson8511 I was wondering the same thing lol

William, you did a superb job with the Sharpe audio books, bravo sir !

Flash man is bawdy but funny. Search on UA-cam
You've gotta read the Aubrey Maturin series too. The Bolitho series is alright too.
Flashman is brilliant. Some audiobooks on yt.
If you enjoy Sharpe read Gaunts Ghosts and if you enjoy flashman read Ciaphus Cain
Couldn't agree more. The first book is the best. The scene where he and Sgt. Hudson observe the last stand at Gundamuk@@edforbes1563
Great reading of a great novel! I don't think the first few pages of this will ever be beat as a description of battle in these times!
Thanks for sharing this. Great stuff! I’ve read it before, but never heard the audiobook. Well done! Good shooting Sharpe!
The legends contuine, where one channel get copywrited another shall rises, am going to have to wait until we are back at shapres battle
this adiobook is brilliant thank you

Listening again in 2021, first time I read the books was back in 2010…
I've read or listened to about every Cornwell book now minus this series. I've even read the non fiction ones. TY for posting this. I figure I've spent hundreds on Cornwell's books and things are tight so here I am...
So good that this is just on YT for free. Thanks 👍
This is superb ! Feels like I’m in the battle !
Well read and really enjoyed the book,your voice just really suits the book,well done:)
You save your godless breathe ! Heathen ! 🐍
Listening to this audiobook is just as engrossing as watching any of the Sharpe programs or movies. Very well done! You've a new subscriber.
Thanks for posting this series. I'm really enjoying it.
Great narrator!
He does the lower ranks justice
Jolly Good Upload. Raise a glass for you & the lads!
Really superbly read…. Thank you so much
Omg, THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!

Round Two! I finished 21 and needed me another helping!!
Thank you for you for uploading you absolute legend, will you upload more audiobooks in the future?
Aye, without you I wouldn't have known this existed, you posted this on Reddit
Now that's Soldiering
Well done and much appreciated.
Excellent reader, great accents and very enjoyable story. Can’t understand the criticism of the volume - seems quite appropriate to the tale
Well read !
Just found out that this is a book/audiobook. Watched the series

"Hurry up & wait" is STILL how the army......all armies are today.....ok, there's less hurry in some, admittedly...

LOL poor guy.
You can probably address the level issue on your device by switching on ALC....auto leveling control.....do some research.
If you don't like the sound of this audiobook, you might be able to hear a different copy.
Funny how when a person shouts, they get…..louder

Warning! The narrator is a screamer.
So annoying when he shouts

@@charliemorningstar7238
A good narrator/ voice actor can voice act shouting and yelling without actually shouting and raising the sound level/volume.
@@vikingpowered868 you don't like the narrator, don't listen. Simple as.
Great reading, but Sh**ty mic. Ruins the loud bits
Volume goes high and then low. Bad
Adds drama. I like it better than monotone.

I now how Sharpe felt. I ad to kill a tiger. With just a plastic spoon
thanks a million. 👍 I HATED the other narrator( Frederickson Case) with his raspy lgtbq voice.
this was William gaminara
And what's wrong with him being LGBTQIA+? You jealous he knows who he is and who he loves, and you're too afraid to be yourself? Yes, that's it.
