thigh slappingly hilarious June 9, 2007
Henry Wilt hasn't been promoted in ten years of work in further education. He is also down trodden somewhat by his wife Eva... or so it seems. Then the pair go to some pseudo intellectuals party (the Pringsheims) and all hell breaks loose after the hostess sets Wilt up in a compromising position with an inflatable doll after Wilt refuses to have sex with her. Following the discovery by Eva she buggers off with the Pringsheims leaving Henry to his increasingly warped thoughts. Soon he hatches a plan murder Eva at the risk of him being made to look a fool over the doll furore... this feeling is fuelled when Eva posts him another doll. Wilt decides to use it in place of Eva in a dummy murder run dumping it down a shaft at the tech where he works. Then when the builders are about to fill the hole they spot the doll and a hilarious story ensues. A must read!

This is the funniest book I have ever read, hands down. If you have never laughed out loud at a book before, read this. You WILL be rolling around, laughing out loud like an idiot!
Tom Sharpe makes comic genius look like something that can be learned at a run-down Further Education college. Sadly it can't.

The funniest book of all time! I was in hospital with a severe throat infection when I read it. It was agony to swallow or talk, let alone laugh. But after less than 20 pages the nurses has to take it off me as I was waking up the whole ward. Next day, I fell out of bed when I came to the bit about the greenhouse - the drip torn out of my arm. I was released from hospital 2 days later.

I first read this book some twenty years ago on a train to London about to embark on my career in Higher Education. For the first time in my life I laughed out loud at a book. I sat on the train in public and could not help laughing at nearly every page, until tears streamed down my face. Tom Sharpes sartorial humour had not been surpassed since. Plumbers four, blow up dolls and further educationalists have never been the same since. Hugely funny.
