5.0 out of 5 stars Wilt Works, April 6 2007

By	Mark Faulkner (UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wilt (Paperback)

Everyone loves an underdog, particularly one who triumphs in an unlikely way. Tom Sharpe continues his fine observation of human tendencies with this book, examining the manner in which people can be driven by assumptions with, in this case, hilarious and somewhat surreal results. I highly recommend this novel (not to be read near anyone who will be easily annoyed when you start chuckling aloud).

5.0 out of 5 stars Out Loud Funny, Dec 9 2002

By	David A. Riley (Orange, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Wilt (Paperback)

This is Sharp's best novel yet, the second detailing the life of Wilt a college lecturer and his severely disfunctional family. In what is basically a farce Sharpe's satire bites deep into every subject he touches, as Wilt comes under investigation by the police for drug dealing, infiltrates a US nuclear air base and has to use face cream to cool his burning uncontrolable penis. If my description of this novel sounds manic, the reason is simple, the book is manic. As an Englishman living in the US I am not sure if the humor travels well, but I hope my American friends can appreciate it, because this book is one of only three (all written by Tom) capable of making me laugh out loud wherever I am reading it (which can be most embarrasing). Try it and enjoy a different view of life and then be thankful you don't have to live Wilt's life.

5.0 out of 5 stars I laughed like I was crazy...., Aug 5 2002

By	David S Rubin (Purcellville, VA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wilt (Paperback)

I bought this book 15 years ago when traveling. While waiting for a change of planes at Heathrow, I started reading, and couldn't put it down. I started chuckling to myself, then laughing out loud, then laughing so it hurt!! Other passengers were staring at me. I showed them what I reading and some of them nodded knowingly.

It is the funniest book I have ever read!
