this an extremely fun well written tom sharpe classic.will have you laughing out loud at the old south africa.and the old empire days.this might hinder some readers with the humour but the vivid story telling of mr sharpe this shouldn`t be to much of a problem.i found this book in the 80`s and have it loads of times since.with the start off in Riotous Assembly and the great shoot out this ties things up neatly. it is great fun

Let's cut to the chase, this book along with Riotous assembly are without doubt the funniest books i've ever read. Unlike the other Sharpe books (which are nowhere as good i hasten to add) you will find that once you've started you cannot put them down.My wife,i'm sure, contemplated having me admitted under the mental health act, such were my outbursts of laughter. Buy both these books, you will read them again and again.
THe Funniest Book in the worldJuly 25, 2003 6 out of 9 found this review helpful
I read this book three times in the first week of picking it up and roared with laughter from cover to cover. It has to be the funniest book ever and has converted me to an avid Tom Sharpe fan. Well worth a read and guaranteed to keep you chuckling to yourself even when you're not reading it.
