Sharpe clashes with Hakeswille and the French in the Spanish mountains.......2007-04-20
"Sharpe's Enemy" is a classic Sharpe novel - fast-paced, bloody, and chock full of the highs and lows of the soldier's life. "Enemy," despite its more vicious moments, is also one of the most humorous of all the Sharpe novels. Taken together, this is one of the high points in this stellar series.
"Enemy" spans a few days around Christmas, 1812. There are two basic plots going on. The first is the most sinister. Sharpe's tormentor and the titular enemy is Obadiah Hakeswill. He is the man who unfairly flogged Sharpe in India, and later Hakeswill tried to rape Sharpe's wife Teresa and threatened their infant daughter with a bayonet. But Hakeswill brags that he cannot be killed, and there may be some truth to that because Hakeswill now leads a strong force of desperate brigands who have murdered and raped their way into a stronghold that dominates a pass in the mountains.
To make matters worse, Hakeswill has kidnapped several women, including the wife of a French officer and the Lady Farthingdale, wife of an elderly British officer, Sir Augustus Farthingdale. Hakeswill has ransomed Lady Farthingdale for a considerable sum, and Sharpe and Harper are charged with handing over the ransom and retrieving the Lady. While on the mission, they encounter a French party on the identical mission, and they form a temporary alliance.
Without giving away too many plot points, the second main plot line of the novel involves Sharpe and Harper leading an outmanned British force against a massive French column. Only through ingenuity and daring can Sharpe hope to make the French pay for every yard of ground through the pass, and it is evident to all that Sharpe is fighting a lost cause.
But as the French will learn, nobody fights a lost cause better than Richard Sharpe.
"Enemy" is one of the strongest novels in the series because there are so many great supporting characters. Harper, Hagman, and the usual suspects are always present, but Cornwell introduces us to Captain Fredrickson, the one-eyed soldier's soldier, to General Nairn, the seemingly foolish but very wise British officer, and to various and sundry other characters, including many on the French side. Cornwell also gets to reintroduce the reader to the British rocket, that woefully inaccurate yet occasionally lethal weapon that hasn't been seen since Sharpe's India days. Sharpe's use of these rockets against an advancing French column leads to one of the most thrilling battle scenes Cornwell has yet written. And that's saying something.
Also look for a lot of humor resulting from the appearance of the gorgeous Lady Farthingdale, with whom Sharpe has already a passing familiarity . . .
If you're a fan of the Sharpe novels, don't skip over any of the earlier novels to get to this one, but make sure you keep reading!
A Great Series.......2006-08-15
This is another entry on the Sharpe series. It is fun, entertaining and very readable. Cornwell's research is as excellent as usual. He takes some licenses for the shake of the story and continuity, but this is OK. Some people are outraged by the portrait of some of the real historical characters, but historical characters are rarely depicted accurately in historical fiction, so I think this can be forgiven. Besides, usually a more serious account of these characters is given at the end of the book on the Historical Note.
Many people insist in compare this series with Patrick O'Brian's Master and Commander. I don't think this is fair for any of the series, they are different entities. What they have in common is that once you start you may get hooked and devour one book after another...
And in the literary world today that is a rare and marvelous thing.
A ripping good yarn.......2006-05-20
I was a little skeptical in tackling this novel, since my favorite books in the Sharpe series have generally been the ones that hewed closest to the events of actual historical battles, and I knew going into it that "Sharpe's Enemy" was built around a wholly invented battle. But, somewhat to my surprise, I found this a ripping good yarn and thoroughly enjoyable.
Cornwell is simply the best.......2005-10-30
Bernard Cornwell remains at his best in this novel. Bernard Cornwell is a writer who's really good at what he does. The story is supenseful, the characters are interesting (Cornwell makes you either care about them or hate their guts),and the narrative is superbly paced. I love the movies (Sean Bean is the English Clint Eastwood), but the books are so much better than the movies, so much better!(By the way, there are numerous Sharpe websites and at least one Bernard Cornwell website.)Buy them, read them,love them!
Marvelous!!.......2003-05-14
Bernard Cornwell just keeps getting better and better as these books progress! This is now the 13th volume on Sharpe's timeline, and the 6th in order of publication. The character development continues to improve as new personae are introduced in each installment. An especially appealing new character is the one-eyed and mutilated rifle captain , "Sweet William", who joins Sharpe and Harper in this highly entertaining novel.
The time is late 1812 with Christmas approaching. A renegade army of British , Spanish , Portuguese , and French deserters have captured the "wife" of Colonel Sir Augustus Fotheringdale (what a name!), another of those rich and aristocratic and enormously egotistical bungling incompotents that seem to pop up regularly in these novels. Sharpe is selected to rescue the damsel in distress who is being held at an old castle and watchtower on the Northern border of Portugal , known as "the Gateway of God". He is provided by Wellington with two additional companies of riflemen and a batallion of Welsh Fusileers as reinforcements. Sharpe , now a Major , commands the rescue operation and manages to effect it with only minimal losses. The subsequent interference by Sir Augustus manages to result in the death of Colonel Kinney , the commander of the Fusileers , leaving Sharpe as the only experienced senior officer present. Also liberated is the wife of a French Colonel , who is returned promptly to her husband . The French seemingly have also mounted a rescue attempt , but only as a cover for an invasion of Portugal. Sharpe manages to uncover the scheme and settles in to thwart the French and brings them to battle , seeking to buy time for Wellington to respond.
There are many interesting twists and turns to the plot , in which Sharpe encounters his old mortal enemy , Obadiah Hakeswill , fights a battle , commands a batallion , and suffers a tragic loss.
This is one of the best Richard Sharpe novels ; not necessarily "the best" , but close enough. Five stars.

After reading Mr. Jones first book Pipe Dreams, I was hooked. I checked out Ride or Die from my school Library and WHOA what a ride this book was. Meet Keisha Anderson, daughter of a preacher named John Anderson,who pays more attention to his church members than he does to his family. Keisha's mother doesn't give her any attention either. Then comes Jamaal Nichols, black as tar with long dreds, son of Frank Nichols, the drug kingpin that was once like a brother to John Anderson before murdering his father and taking over his drug empire. Jamal and Keisha met when they were kinds and renunited but this time it was no puppy love. Jamal loved her so much he disobeyed his father and Keisha left her family to ride with the man she loved. Jamal is accused of killing the police commissioner so they were on the run. From carjacking to murder Keisha and Jamal will do anything to outrun the cops. They were gonna ride together or die trying. This story has SOOOOOOOO mant twists and turns it will have you on the edge of your seat gripping the book. I read it in one day!! Cop it NOW!!!
I'm a Ride or Die Chick!!!!!.......2006-03-04
As everyone can see I'm still playing catch up with Mr. Jones' books and even though I'm reading them out of order I'm nonetheless still enjoying every minute of it. In Ride or Die, Mr. Jones introduces us to Keisha and Jamal two lovers on the run from their fathers, who are sworn enemies and from the police who somehow think that Jamal is responsible for the Police Commissioner's murder.
This story jumps right off the pages as Jamal attempts to elude the entire Philadelphia police force with only the help of his boo Keisha who proves that she knows the true definition of Ride or Die. Ride or Die is full of unexpected plot twists which really drives this story and will keep readers on the edge of their seats until it reaches it's shocking conclusion.
Awesome Urban Tale of Love and Betrayal.......2005-07-28
Review for "Ride or Die"
Keisha is the daughter of a prominent North Philly pastor, Jamal is the son of a local drug Street figure. Keisha and Jamal have loved each other since they met on a playground when they were kids.
The game of cat and mouse begins when Jamal's father attempts to use his son as a hit man to kidnap and kill the pastor's daughter. During an anti-drug rally, a city official winds up shot to death and Jamal becomes the primary suspect. He and Keisha then become unwitting fugitives in a race against time, managing to stay one step ahead of the police as Jamal attempts to clear his name.
Solomon Jones takes his readers on a roller coaster ride, probing into the depths of crack houses, prostitution, addiction and despair. Yet in spite of the bleak scenarios that he has painted cleverly using Philadelphia as his backdrop, he has created characters that are believable - characters that you can both empathize with and loathe simultaneously.
"Ride or Die" take the darker side of Philly and thrusts it into the streetlight of reality. This is a modern day love story with as many twists and turns as there are pages, coming to an unpredictable conclusion.
This book is definitely worth the read.
Is You With Me?.......2005-01-14
Ride or Die: You either ride with me or die trying. That is Keisha Anderson and Jamal Nichol's motto. She is a PK - preacher's kid -- and he is a drug lord's son. They met years ago when they were pre-teens and experienced puppy love, now they are experimenting with the real thing - true love. Their fathers, John Anderson and Frank Nichols were friends, in fact they were even like brothers, but something happened. Something drove a wedge between them and they have spent the past umpteen years in rivalry.
Someone attempts to rape Keisha and her knight in shining armor, Jamal, saves the day. She tells her father about the incident and he becomes livid. The same evening, an attempt is made on John's life, but someone else dies, and he believes Frank has something to do with both incidents and stages a protest outside of his bar. The protest turns violent when a stray bullet, intended for John, hits the police commissioner and kills him. Not to mention, Keisha is kidnapped. Someone has to pay and Jamal is the chosen fall guy.
Detective Kevin Lynch is back; he was first introduced in The Bridge. His job is to solve the homicide of the police commissioner and other crimes which occurred as a domino effect of the protest. Jamal is running for his innocence and Keisha is with him. The question is: was she really kidnapped or is she a willing participant? In the midst of all the chaos, family secrets are unveiled. The saints are more like devils in sheep's clothing.
Jones gives you high speed chases, carjackings, shooting sprees and all the while, makes you feel as though you're front and center for each of the crimes, with his elaborate details. That man can tell a story and always amazes you with an "Aww hell naw" ending. But I must admit, unlike the other two novels, I figured this one out. That won't guarantee the next reader will. Ride or Die is drama/mystery/romance at its best. Okay, what's next Jones? Bring it on `cause I'm aching for another good read.

Download Description
"When it was released in 1955, the film Rebel Without a Cause had a revolutionary impact on moviemaking and youth culture, virtually giving birth to our concept of the American teenager. For the first time, Live Fast, Die Young tells the complete story of the explosive making of Rebel, a film that has rocked every generation since its release. Set against a backdrop of the Atomic Age and an old Hollywood studio system on the verge of collapse, it vividly evokes the cataclysmic, immensely influential meeting of four of Hollywood's most passionate artists. When James Dean, Natalie Wood, Sal Mineo, and director Nicholas Ray converged, each was at a crucial point in his or her career. The young actors were grappling with fame, their burgeoning sexuality, and increasingly reckless behavior. As Ray engaged his cast in physical melees and psychosexual seductions of startling intensity, the on- and off-set relationships between his ambitious young actors ignited, sending a shock wave through the film. Through interviews with the surviving members of the cast and crew and firsthand access to both personal and studio archives, Lawrence Frascella and Al Weisel reveal Rebel's true drama -- the director's affair with sixteen-year-old Wood, his tempestuous ""spiritual marriage"" with Dean, and his role in awakening the latent homosexuality of Mineo, who would become the first gay teenager to appear on film. Complete with photographs, Live Fast, Die Young tells the absorbing inside story of an unforgettable and absolutely essential American film -- a story that is, in many ways, as provocative as the film itself.

Rebel, Rebel.......2007-07-18
Wrangling teen idols to make a classic movie
If you're into movies, and classics, or more specifically, misunderstood classics, and you have any interest in James Dean, then Lawrence Frascella and Al Weisel's Live Fast, Die Young: The Wild Ride of Making Rebel Without a Cause is required reading.
Of course, as a reformed "Deaner" who's read every biography about the icon, much of the information about 1950s film star James Dean, whose died in a car accident only days after completing his third movie, isn't new.
Yet when woven with biographical accounts of Rebel co-stars Natalie Wood, Sal Mineo, and director Nicholas Ray, Live Fast, Die Young becomes compelling reading, mostly through its swift and meticulously researched details (shown in 50 pages of bibliographical notes) that take us sequentially through the pre-production, daily shooting schedule, ups and downs and sometimes lurid behind the scenes drama that took place through the making of a pivotal film that defined the "teenager" in pop culture, and established post-war adolescent angst as a social phenomenon.
Dean, known for his moody temperament, over-the-top method acting, and palpable inferiority complex to contemporary Marlon Brando, gets his now-famous behaviors contextualized. But what has been forgotten among the piles of gossip magazines through the decades, is how Dean, working closely with director Ray, helped shape Rebel into its unique teen-focused originality.
Commentary from surviving actors like Corey Allen, who played Buzz, the gang nemesis of Jim Stark, Dean's character, offers a grounded perspective to the mythologized stories of Dean, Wood, and Mineo, who all died under tragic circumstances. Allen recounts the competitive atmosphere for camera time (Nick Adams being the biggest ham), and the choreography of the opening knife fight (originally shot in black and white, studio executives pushed to move to the then-new color Cinemascope after watching a rough cut. The entire first scene was re-shot).
The three main character's lives reflected strongly on their private lives at the time. Judy's (Wood) advanced sexuality, Jim Stark's (Dean) longing to befriend Buzz rather than fight him, and Plato's (Mineo) adoration of Stark.
Authors Frascella and Weisel, who both thank their male partners in the book's acknowledgements, are therefore presumably gay. But they show a restrained tone in laying proof to the bisexuality of star Dean, focusing on the actual events surrounding the film's subtle successes at revealing the eroticism lurking under the surface of malcontent violent kids.
It's Sal Mineo who shines when he realizes he is, in effect, cinema's first gay teenager. Never exactly in the closet, Mineo's Plato becomes an icon of shy sensitivity and undefined sexuality.
As the book winds through the travails of filming a revolutionary film under the pressures of studio executives, director Ray's own complex personal problems are no less dramatic, ranging from alcoholism to the shame of enduring an affair between his second wife, who seduced his son from his first marriage, to his illegal affair with a teenage Natalie Wood (who was also having a sexual affair with co-star Dennis Hopper).
That the film ever managed to become the classic it was lies largely to this rare collaborative process that Ray nurtured in a time when Hollywood -barely over the dread of McCarthyism and its related blacklist- was anything but collaborative.
While often times abusive and erratic, and even boastful - years later he would take credit for scenes and ideas proposed by screenwriters and actors- Ray is shown as a maverick who made his mark, despite his eventual downfall, by having created more than a great film, but a document of a culture at a pivotal moment. Frascella and Weisel's thorough work shows readers how it happened.
The definitive book on the film........2006-12-12
Rebel Without a Cause almost defined what teenagers were supposed to be when it appeared in the middle 1950. Here was the complete antithesis of the Father Knows Best type of show. It featured three young starts that seemed destined for greatness: Natalie Wood, Sal Mineo, and James Dean. Strangely enough, all three of them died, quite young, and not by natural causes.
This book is about the making of that movie. It features interviews with the surviving members of the cast and crew and the authors had firsthand access to both personal and studio archives.
This is a rather remarkable book in that it was written so long after the film. It reads like the authors knew and were involved with the people making the movie it tells an extraordinary story. It's very well done, so far as I am concerned, the definitive film on the movie.
The Definitive Rebel Book, Now and Forever.......2006-05-26
I want to start my review out by saying that I seriously doubt that there will ever be another book like this on Rebel Without A Cause. There certainly hasn't been anything like it in the past.This classic film deserves a book like this and I'm surprised that one was so long in coming.This book is exhaustively researched. Every detail of Rebel from its conception to its filming to its release to its cultural impact is detailed. New interviews with surviving cast and crew members added depth and perspective.The films 3 main stars-James, Natalie and Sal , And Director Nick Ray's experiences making the film are also recounted along with a Chapter each about their lives and fates after Rebel, but the portraits of them are not super deep with perhaps the exception being Nick Ray. The book is more about the evolution and the ultimate impact of Rebel than about the Actors themselves.
The one complaint I have about this book is that at times I think it relied too much on unproven sensationalism about James Dean. Particularly a passage in which an Actor claims that James and Jack Simmons were hitting on him, but what sounded like a perfect innocent invitation to visit the house they were living in to me.
But this is a book that should be on any Rebel fans bookshelf.
Close to the Knives.......2006-03-29
I loved reading this book, for most of the reasons outlined by the other reviewers. The organization is superb, breaking down the wealth of material into discrete units, sometimes arranged by theme, sometimes by a central event. The intelligence of the sorting out leads to a greater understanding of the events portrayed in the book, from the inception of the general idea (to make a picture about teenagers, then a new subject for film) all the way to the ongoing and continuing myth of REBEL.
One thing leads to another, organically speaking. The book convinces me that the central mainspring of the success of REBEL was not, perhaps, James Dean, but Natalie Wood, desperate to prove she wasn't a child any longer, throwing herself at director Nicholas Ray who, in a crazy display of grand seigneurial privilege, took her as his lover. Was Wood feeling any sexual excitement in this union, or was she just trying to get back at her horrible mother, Maria Gurdin? Ever since Suzanne Finstad's biography of Wood revealed this affair with Nick Ray, together with the story of Wood being raped by a still-living Hollywood leading man, it's hard to look at REBEL without thinking of Judy as the victim of sexual abuse "acting out" her fantasies of sexual liberation and pleasure, but not able to really get any for herself.
I appreciated the care the authors took in interviewing just about everyone connected to the movie, including the gang members, some of whom you hardly notice in the movie. But as it happens, and I wonder if someday the extra footage will turn up, many of the gang members had bigger scenes with lots of dialogue, when the shooting started Warners wasn't going to pay for anything but black and white, and then a third of the way through they decided to scrap the b/w footage and go with color. They threw the baby out with the bathwater in this one, for wouldn't you like to see that black and white material? Wonder where it is now? The authors tracked down Steffi Sidney, who was sort of the Tori Spelling of her day in that her dad was a well known Hollywood institution who managed to get her jobs just by laying down the hammer. He wasn't a producer like Aaron Spelling, but even more fearsome, one of LA's top gossip columnists, a man called Sidney Skolsky. Steffi is particularly observant about the day to day shooting of REBEL, and her pointed comments are always trenchant and super-funny.
I hear today in the news that Warners has unearthed test footage of Marlon Brando playing scenes from a version of REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE that never got made, seven or eight years before the present one! And that they will be issuing this screentest as an extra to the DVD of STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE! I bet the authors of LIVE FAST, DIE YOUNG are kicking themselves that they didn't get to view this footage--indeed they don't seem to have been aware such a test even existed, or that the movie was almost made in 1948! Otherwise they are an omniscient pair indeed.
Best of the Best.......2006-03-11
This is a wonderfully detailed yet easy to read account of the making of "Rebel Without a Cause." The authors did their homework and did a superb job of compiling the information into an interesting story. No matter if you're a fan of James Dean, Natalie Wood, Sal Mineo, you'll be rewarded with a glimpse behind the camera at how it all came together. A must read for fans of the stars, director, the film itself or film students in general.
