I feel bad giving this as high a rating as this. Flashman was terrible. But the book had good dialogue, was historically interesting, and was a very classic... antiheroic?... adventure. I'm not sure Flashman can even be called an antihero. He's the protagonist, but to me an antihero has to actually do something important/good/useful despite being an asshole, and Flashman doesn't accomplish a single thing (besides running away, though he doesn't even accomplish that every time). Wouldn't recommend, but was certainly a read.
