Items related to Grantchester Grind: A Porterhouse Chronicle
This sequel to Tom Sharpe's classic comic novel Porterhouse Blue takes the listener back to the hilarious goings-on at Porterhouse College.
The instinct of the true Porterhouse man faced with a crisis is to reach for the bottle and then to fall back on the subtle tactical skills honed at Cambridge down the centuries: blackmail and kidnap. But will these be enough? Menaced on all sides - by the collapse of the Chapel, by the tentacles of organised crime, and by the hovering threat of the abominable Dog s Nose Man - will Porterhouse be forced to unleash the most fearsome weapon in its armoury - the college food?

Review:
"Has all the ingredients of a classic Sharpe novel - grotesque characters, outlandish plot, scabrous dialogue" (The Times)
"Dynamic, fertile, knockabout energy" (Evening Standard)
"The best of British farce-masters is back" (Mail on Sunday)
"A novelist who has broken out of the pack, established a wholly distinctive style ... such a keen eye for the ridiculous and a marvellous ability to puncture it" (Scotsman)
