5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent example of the author's work,
By andrewjens@hotmail.com (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Vintage Stuff (Paperback)
I have read all of Tom Sharpe's books and Vintage Stuff is one of his best. The comic style in which he normally handles language, plot and characters is probably at its best in this book. The book lends heavily on the English public school system (as do some of his other books). The plot concerns the adventures of a school master and one of his students as they are induced on a crazy journey through England and France - all due to the schemes of another school master seeking revenge. Like all Sharpe's books, the journey is the reward as most endings tend to be a little anti-climactic. This is mainly due to the fast pace of the work, both in plot and language. If you like a well-written comic adventure, you can't go wrong with this book.

A perl of English comedy,

This review is from: Vintage Stuff (Paperback)
Another great example of Tom Sharpe's mockery of the Old Albion's old ways. As long as there are senile boarding school teachers and overzealous moron students getting paired up - a great comedic adventure is guaranteed.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Another great book by Tom Sharpe,

This review is from: Vintage Stuff (Paperback)
This book was almost as good as Wilt, Blott and The Great Pursuit. It was a bit slow in the beginning and the ending was a bit premature. Otherwise it was very funny. Definitely recommended.
