Bu diziyi gerçekten çok sevdim. Üç kitabın hepsi harika. Sınır macera ve kalp kırıklığı, ama çok canlandırıcı.

Ben bu kitabı beğenmedim. Aslında, üçte birini okudum ve daha fazla okumadım. Bir kitabı bitirmem nadirdir; Daha iyi olabileceğini düşünmeye devam ediyorum ve kaçırmak istemiyorum. Ancak, bu kitap için tüm umudumu kaybettim. Sıkıcı. Entelektüel, ilginç konuları ele alıyorsa sorun yok. Karakterleri ya da durumlarını ya da herhangi bir şeyi umursamadım. Diğer pek çok kitabın yaptığı gibi çekilmedim.

I am about 95% of the way through this book and LOVE IT. Page turner, could not stop reading it on my flight to San Francisco. I loved her earlier book, Garden Spells and this one was just as charming. I found myself thinking of the simple moments in life, the interactions between people and how baking someone a cake can just make their day and live in their fondest memories forever. She is one author that I wish would write a LOT more often!! Excellent.

I have praised George MacDonald Fraser's Flashman series before and I shall probably continue to do so as long as I continue to read them; they are a national treasure and our equivalent of Dumas or Sienkiewicz. Whilst "Flashman and the Redskins" is not about English Victorian history it is still about that amazing era and manages to both amuse and inform us in a wonderfully approachable manner - there are many students of history who would benefit by reading the stuff. Fraser doesn't just tell us a great story but also makes us very aware of how outstanding the opening up of the West really was - and how sudden! He fills his tale with facts, balancing "fiction" with true scholarship and backed up by a long bibliography so that you can go off and really get to grips with the era. I was almost blown apart by the fact that it was possible for a young child to travel west across the "empty" plains in a waggon train surviving Indian attacks, desperate conditions, see oceans of buffalo roll over the landscape and then, in his later years make the same trip in reverse either by train or plane and see the landscape changed utterly, with towns and great cities where once stood a burning waggon and lay only corpses. This is a great book. Our hero Flashman's morals are still a bit questionable at times but he is no coward, merely a survivor surrounded by larger-than-life characters who have no real sense of adventure, fun or their own mortality. This one comes HIGHLY recommended!
