Recenzii

“When Tom Sharpe turns his attention to a very minor public school…the result is predictably savage. Hoaxes, chases, car crashes, shootings, and general mayhem. Wicked, riotous humour.”
Daily Telegraph

“Excellently funny.”
—Auberon Waugh, Daily Mail
"When Tom Sharpe turns his attention to a very minor public school- the result is predictably savage. Hoaxes, chases, car crashes, shootings, and general mayhem. Wicked riotous humour" Daily Telegraph "Wildly hilarious pot-shots at the public school system and the sacred cows of adventure fiction" Observer "You'll enjoy this wild and, in places, wildly funny story- It is all an hilarious send-up of the Dornford Yates style of thriller with some modernistic Sharpe barbs added" Daily Express "One of our best contemporary comic writers- very, very funny " Birmingham Evening Mail "Excellently funny" -- Auberon Waugh Daily Mail
