"I think this Flashman book almost replaced Flashman at the Charge as my favorite Flashman book for surprising reasons. I think that Flashman at the Charge was definately funnier. Flashman in the Great Game is peppered with the usual hilarity, however the tone of the novel is much more sentimental and reverent towards the historical experience. The Sepoy Mutiny was horrid and awful atrocities were committed on both sides. Flashman spends most of the novel disguised as a "native badmash of unsavoury appearance" and sees the fighting from two perspectives. He shows some uncharacteristic sympathy to the plight of the colonized that peeps out through his usual blithe distain for the subjugated peoples of the 19th century. The novel has many more touching moments and scenes that evoke deep anger than the other Flashman books I have read so far. It awakened a powerful curiosity in me to learn more about British India (I reccommend the movie Kim to anyone who is interested in The Great Game). The writing was supurb as usual, Fraser is one author I can always count on when I need to blow through an entertaining read and learn something without thinking about it."
