Ate opponents' brains and invented cocaine.

I am finally about to run out of Richard Sharpe novels. I rented the first installment of the British TV series they made out of the books, but it was kind of lamely plotted and had a very intrusive 1980s score. Sharpe has gotten kind of whiny in the last couple of books. Hopefully he doesn't spend the battle of Waterloo all hangdog about some woman.

Fortunately for Sharpe, he was too young to serve in the American Revolution. If he had, the series would have been much shorter because even a dirty-fighting killer like Sharpe couldn't win against this guy.
