The funniest writer now working in the English language
The funniest writer now working in the English language – Stephen King
Tom Sharpe serves up the loudest laughs in literary comedy … He is the great post-Waugh humorist, the Wodehouse who dares plunge into the botomless vulgarity and hysteria of our times, and a rattling good companion on a train journey * Mail on Sunday *
A very funny book … it is perfect stuff, vintage Sharpe * Punch *
Tom Sharpe is back on form … he stays Sharpe to the bottom of the glass * Sunday Times *
Tom Sharpe is one of the funniest things that has happened to fiction recently * Financial Times *
