Sharpes Enemy by Bernard Cornwell is probably the best in the Sharpe series. There is nothing lacking in the story: evil and corrupt enemies, damsels in distress, heart breaking pathos and (of course) hard-fought battles.

To me, this book is one of the high points of the series. Major Sharpe doesn't have that many opportunities to command a multi-company force in battle, and he makes the most of it here.

The cartoonish characters make this an unsatisfying read. The book has some interesting elements (including the villain's unusual neck) and the author generates some moderately exciting action, but this book pales in comparison to Patrick O'Brien's Maturin/Aubrey series.
