David McK (3372 KP) rated Sharpe's Honour in TV
Nov 14, 2021 (Updated Nov 14, 2021)
I say 'based on' as, because while the main thrust of the storyline is the same, the TV movie of necessity abbreviates the novel somewhat: most noticeably (I felt) watering down quite substantially the role of El Matarife in the proceedings.
As this starts, Sharpe is still mourning the death of his wife Teresa, while Napoleon - in his first appearance in the series - is in retreat from Russia, and with Major Pierre Ducos hatching a plan to drive a wedge between the Spanish and British allies while also getting his revenge on Sharpe by provoking a duel between Sharpe and a Spanish nobleman who he (Ducos) later murders, with Sharpe then taking the rap for said murder (until he is later able to prove his innocence).

The sheer persistence of the CIA and the Justice Department in never giving up even after years of trying to hunt him down and tragedy within their own ranks is a testament to American will, drive and ambition.
Whatever your personal feelings on torture, this film walks the line of being objective and lets the viewer draw their own conclusions.
Very compelling film.

This picture book is an obvious retelling of Jesus’s parable of the prodigal son, but that isn’t really an issue because the fresh settings gives it fresh life and drive home the point of God’s love and forgiveness anew. The colorful pictures will help hold kid’s attention in this fun book.

I also couldn't relate to any of the characters. Mary was too much of a stereotypical goth which really annoyed me. Stereotypes in books drive me crazy especially goth ones. I didn't care what happened to Mary or anyone really.
The plot was a bit boring...trying to get rid of an evil ghost. Even the ending was a bit sudden and disappointing.
This book was just okay. Nothing special. I won't be reading the next book in the series.

My wife and I treat it as a game on the road. She is in charge of tagging things as we pass them, while I drive. Passes the time.
