Product Description
Book Description
The third outragously funny Wilt novel from the British master of farce.
Product Description
Wilt is back - in form, and in a good deal of trouble.
Henry Wilt is still teaching at the Fenland Tech, attempting to drill English into plasterers, dozing through tedious committee meetings and occasionally getting mildly plastered in 'The Pig in a Poke' with one of his few bearable colleagues. But the even tenor of his days is rudely interrupted when the shadow of drug dealing flickers across the Tech. Suddenly Wilt becomes the target of suspicion. His colleagues believe him to be responsible for triggering a departmental inquiry, and his old adversary Inspector Flint, knowing that he's guilty of something, sees a chance to settle a number of scores. What his wife thinks is... well, what all wives think. But what none of them have reckoned with is Wilt's talent for making new enemies. What starts with an accusation of voyeurism in the staff lavatory (of the wrong gender to boot) leads, more or less directly, to a massive confrontation at a nearby US airbase with the forces of law and order on both sides and Wilt in his usual place -- in the middle.

This book has been my first contact with Sharpe. Not my last. I find "Wilt on High" extremely funny, well written, cleverly put together, with just a dash (maybe more than a dash) of healthy vulgarity and it shows also that Mr Sharpe has an incredibly piercing eye to see, analyze and render the foibles of a great variety of human specimens such as feminists, police inspectors, teachers, American military men, quacks, overintelligent brats, etc. Highly recommended.

Very funny indeed. But as all of Tom Sharpe's works generally are that is to be expected. It is very difficult to be better than the original Wilt but this book is nearly as good in my opinion. Keep up the good writing Mr.Sharpe. Please don't stop!

Some of Tom Sharpe's books are obviously better than others but they never fail to amuse and make one laugh out loud. Easy to read and well worth the money!

Classic Wilt
The third novel of four in the Wilt series starts with a drug problem at Fenland College. As ever Henry Wilt's incredible talent for landing himself in trouble with his superiors,... Read more

Not his best
Sharpe's excoriating wit and vulgar humour is still very much to the fore in this latest episode of Wilt's life. Read more

Fab!
This book is really good! Although its a bit weird and unrealistic. Guess thats what makes it good. Sharpe has got the timing right to change between the two parts of the story.

good move from book to tape
Although the book which I found absolutly brilliant, was better than this tape as the tape is not so involving, Tom Sharpe's talent in his book is still there in the tape. Read more
