5.0 out of 5 stars Wilt by Tom Sharpe, 8 Dec 2003
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious, 23 Feb 2003
Tom Sharpe is one of the funniest writers I have ever read, and I believe Wilt is his best work, though I have only read a few others. The story is fast-paced, the situation becoming funnier and funnier as the world tries to take down Wilt and he keeps on flourishing. When the story starts you think Wilt is going to be a sad man who could never outsmart anyone, but we see him triumph in the face of disaster. The supporting characters are believabe and you end up loving them all.

A tremendous book that everyone should read at least once.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious humor to laugh out loud!, 16 Jul 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Wilt (Audio Cassette)
This is the first book I read written by Tom Sharpe. After reading this one, I got addicted to all of his books. I never had to laugh out loud so hard reading a book. The main character Wilt has a love-hate relation with his wife. One night he dumps his rubber doll on a construction site. The day after, a construction worker thinks he buries a real body. At the same time the police starts an investigation, Wilt's wife disappears. This leads to a hilarious investigation with superbe humor! Give it a go; I assure you will love it!
