5.0 out of 5 stars Hilariously funny. British satire at its very best., September 17, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: His Lordship (Hardcover)

The hilarious story of the handsome tennis coach, at an all-girls high school, who is being interrogated by the police about his alleged sexual liaisons with the students. Leslie Thomas leaves us wondering just who the real victim is?

This review is from: His Lordship (Paperback)

I've read just about everything that Leslie Thomas has written and have put him near the top of my list of favourite authrs--but not for this book. The central theme is the seduction of various under-age schoolgirls by a school tennis coach--or is it the other way round?
Monty Python has made just about any subject acceptable as comedy...but Thomas doesn't make this funny! It's obscenely real! Ugggh! I felt quite dirty after a couple of chapters and threw it out. Beware.
