Good read. Setup and development of story and characters is well done.

Long read
5 stars
Engaging biography. Lots of time spent detailing events around his greatest works and some choice insights into a character that remained inscrutable to outsiders. Am not overly familiar with his work but enjoyed the read.
Ed reviewed Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer (The Southern Reach Trilogy, #1)
A different take
3 stars
I enjoyed the oppressive tone and writing style. Not a book for those who want sharp focussed action. Would have rated it higher my was put off by commenters elsewhere who thought the Novel was the second coming and couldn’t exist alongside the movie.

Pulp fiction conclusion

I can’t help but feel that if the writer had written this wrap up to the peninsula war much further into his writing career that it would have been a more fitting ending than the one provided here.

A different side to the military machine
3 stars
Spent mostly in England, the story focuses on greed and the abuse of the war machine for profit. Still a ton of intrigue and wildly outrageous escapades but couched the realities of the class system sharpe has always dealt with makes for an interesting read.
