Tom Sharpe makes me laugh loud and long ... He offers so much to delight in -- Ion Trewin * The Times * This supremely entertaining book is guaranteed to make you laugh * Books & Bookmen * Chuckling good fun, a glorious romp * Sunday Express * A toppling house of comic cards that knock you flat. He is the funniest author to have emerged for years * Observer * Terrific. It is light years since I read anything so original ... (the) character drawing is wonderful ... a very good book -- P.G.
