Customer Reviews

Hysterical!

I "borrowed" this book from my dad, without knowing anything about Tom Sharpe or his style. Mr. Sharpe is a master of farce! I often found myself laughing uncontrollably at the antics of Wilt, his family and his colleagues. A great light read!

Swiftian outrageous satire of English College Prof; A+!

Tom Sharpe, the contemporary Swift of satire, continues the romping escapades of his inauspicious Wilt, along with Wilt's terrif(ic)ying progeny and blundering spouse. To read Sharpe in any tome is to become entombed in the outrageously funny consequences of trying to simply be. Life can be funny when you're not trying. * Any book by this author is worth the read... too bad there aren't enough available. The South African novels are a must! - Indecent Exposure and Riotous Assembly plus the Porterhouse Blue
