I am a fan of the author Bernard Cornwell and it is great to see his books put onto film. Very good value box set.

The box set was like brand new and all the DVDs played perfectly. I read the Sharpe novels when I was younger and have recently started reading again now. I wanted to buy the series as I was curious about how it was represented on screen. The truth is I really enjoyed the series and didn't disappoint! Sean Bean does excellently and bearing in mind that the series is pretty old it holds up well due to very good cinematography, scenes, real explosions (not CGI and special effects stuff like nowadays!) and very good music. It is a very companion to anyone who likes the novels and is also interested in the Napoleonic era as there is actually very little in the way of series, film or TV.

Actor Sean Bean brings a most entertaining character to life in this well written series about the adventures of a young soldier who saved the life of The Duke of Wellington. Sharpe gets a field promotion up through the ranks in an army where real officers come from good upper class families with a professional military pedigree. Sharpe gets given command of a platoon of army rejects and misfits, and his bare knuckle talents are frequently called on to restore order and discipline. Sharpe's fellow officers however, continue to make things as difficult as possible at every single opportunity. The adventures of this hero are revealed in a never ending battle against Napoleon Bonaparte's French Soldiers and Spies and other Assorted Traitors. Even Sharpe,s numerous romances get woven into the plot. Entertaining All the Way, Well worth buying. David Cox Read full review

Well this is easy. I make no claims to impartiality here; I love Bernards books and historical fiction when it's done well. Consequently I lap up every beautifully presented moment of these DVD's.
