Book Review: The Throwback by Tom Sharpe
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the hilariously funny saga of a young man who has no official existence, and who is totally naive concerning the facts of life. About other things he has a good grasp of the way they work, and when he settles down with his new bride, and his new bride's mother settles down with her new husband, things start to pop. It is difficult to say more without spoiling the plot, but suffice it to say that the plot, like the contents of the Dutch Cap, will keep, and you will be in stitches, unlike the Colonel'sScarlet Lady.
This is not a book to take to read on an airplane. It is so uproarously funny that you might well find the flight diverted and escorted to the ground by fighters, and you packed off for observation. You have been warned.
Book Review: encore, encore
Summary: 4 Stars
one of the first tom sharpe books i read, i was hooked emediately. i found the begining a little slow, but when it finally took of i never stopped laghing. i leave resonably near to the setting in the throwback and was out for a family drive, bored sensless i began reading the remainder of the book. i had just been reading about wark and black pockrington in a passage of the book when i looked up to see a sign post by the road. to my surprise it was pointing out the direction of wark. to me this seemed an amazing coincedence, to match an amazing book.
