5.0 out of 5 stars Wilt The Great!, 3 Jan 2005

James Harmon "harmonj14" (Shannon, Co Clare) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Wilt Alternative (Paperback)

When I purchase a Tom Sharpe book I bring it home and read it there. Never on a train, plane or other public transport! Henry Wilt makes me laugh out loud. Not just a giggle, no; a full belly laugh, loud and uproarious. When you see Wilt in the title you know you're in for a damn good read

4.0 out of 5 stars Alternative Laugh!!!, 9 April 2005

Ross Gum "ross_gum" (UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Wilt Alternative (Paperback)

There! He's done it again!! Wilt is back.

It all started for me when I bought "Wilt" by mistake! Since then I got the whole Tom Sharpe collection. I just finished reading this one and I though I would share my thoughts with you.

Well, as I said, Wilt is back. He is head of Liberal Studies now, with 4 "Eva look-alikes" daughters, and with the same dark thoughts in his mind. Inspector Flint is back as well and he can't believe his luck! As always, misunderstandings are present again and Wilt is performing "alternative" terrorism acts, due to his wife's obsession with anything alternative in life, hence the title. If you have not discovered Tom Sharpe yet, don't waste your time, this is a sure bet and he is going to make you laugh, really!! The Wilt alternative is a perfect sequel to the first book and is highly recommended. Well, that's all from me. I am leaving you now as I have another book waiting for me...."Wilt on high"....

4.0 out of 5 stars Buy it, read it, then read it again!, 25 July 2000

kathb85@hotmail.com (uk) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Wilt Alternative (Paperback)

This is my favorite one of the Wilt trilogy. Poor Henry has got himself in a pickle again.

He continues to try and lead a normal life, oblivious to the chaos that he is creating, innocently fratenising with terrorists, but ending up looking like the guilty party.

Its witty ans satiric...and lads will never walk home drunk again!
