Rezension zu „Wilt “
"His best novel yet ... Mr Sharpe has taken a great stride towards being considered a major craftsman in the art of farce" -- Auberon Waugh Evening Standard "This delightful book ... lives, rises and triumphs by a slicing wit" Daily Mirror "Superb farce ... If you don't laugh your head off, Crippen wasn't guilty" Tribune "Mr. Sharpe's farce has a gritty satirical edge to it, and the world his embattled central character inhabits is all too real" Sunday Times "Tom Sharpe piles slapstick upon slapstick with the ingenious dexterity of a music-hall illusionist" Sunday Telegraph
