Review
"They make me cry with laughter ... I think he's one of the great geniuses" (Daily Mail)
"Tom Sharpe is in top form ... outrageously funny ... Left-wing academics, right-wing capitalists, true-blue country gentry, workers, peasants, police and lawyers - all take custard pies full in the face in this boisterous knockabout farce" (The Listener)
"A novelist who has broken out of the pack, established a wholly distinctive style ... such a keen eye for the ridiculous and marvellous ability to puncture it" (Scotsman)
"An immense gift for social satire ... the action is unflagging" (Daily Telegraph)
"There’s almost no one funnier" (Observer)
From the Publisher
