Title: Not easily offended, but George MacDonald Fraser did it.
Product review: A little too offensive. I wasn't able to get passed the ugly, outdated racial and sexist attitudes, not to mention its general disregard towards animals. If you are expecting P.G. Wodehouse, think again. I can see George MacDonald Fraser's Henry Flashman character having been considered hilarious 40 years ago. Maybe even as recent as 25-30 years ago. But not today.I have outgrown this type of humor, and I believe that many people will find this character and his world hard to stomach. Reading this book was like having one's "nose rubbed in it." The good news is, we (as humans) have come further than we may realize in terms of social progress.
