George MacDonald Fraser | Rhys Meredith, Joss Ackland and [[]] | From the Flashman stories by George MacDonald Fraser
It was full of cheating at cards, wrenching, vomiting and other laddish delights, along with the occasional quote in Latin from Horace and Pliny. Flashman continues to scale heights of political incorrectness that others only dream of. I’m not greatly bothered by that. I simply do not go for swashbuckling heros or anti-heros. But while it left me cold, I believe that those who like the genre will have lapped it up. (summarised from a review by Moira Petty, writing in "The Stage"). |
