Following up on the gentleman’s comments on the Bulletin Board, on 15th June 2005, regarding his concern over your apparant dip in form (Sharpe’s Escape). He was worried that you were not on top form, and the book took him a month to read. Well, I loved this one. I preferred it to any of the 3 immediately preceding it, so my point is, IGNORE HIM. We all have differing tastes and his concerns are certainly not shared by all. ‘Escape’ was terrific, as are all the Sharpe’s. If anyone suggests you taking a break, ignore them!! Nick R.
