Summary
Stuck in a job he doesn't want - but can't afford to lose - as nominal Head of the Communications Department at Fenland University, Wilt is still subject to the whims of The Powers That Be, both in and outside of work. The demands of his snobbish wife Eva, and the stupendous school fees of his despicable quadruplet daughters cause him the biggest headaches...apart from the hangovers, that is. When Eva signs him up for a summer job, teaching the gun-toting idiot son of a lusty local aristocrat, Wilt is not amused. But, as circumstances unravel and the summer goes on, Wilt sees that the situation could be put to his financial advantage, as well as giving Eva some headaches of her own.

Wilt rides again.
Once again the hapless Henry Wilt is dropped by his horrible wife Eva into a situation which spirals out of control.
Add his horrible daughter’s and a landowner with a fancy for large women and chaos is inevitable.

Dire
The story initially showed promise - in the first few pages that is. After that, I can honestly say that the book was not remotely amusing. Very disappointing.

Never fails to deliver
Not his best, but rip roaring fun as always..Classic Sharpe, a way with the absurd weaving it all into a great tale

Not one of his best
Some amusing bits but very uneven and for a Tom Sharpe novel quite low key in terms of manic comic situations. An enjoyable if forgettable listen.

Badly read and maybe the worst Sharpe so far encountered
My impression is that Tom Sharpe did well with a couple of books on one area and character set. Even then with some, the quality was dire. As in Porterhouse Blue and Blott OTL etc.
The two early Wilt books were top stuff, as were Riotous Assembly and Indecent Exposure. After that? He went right off the boil. As in The Throwback, for example.
Also as in this one, not helped by a reader completely unsuited to farce, which this book is supposed to be. But fails.
Perhaps his publishers pestered him to produce more of his successful books when his ideas had run out?
Audible has chosen just two books from Sharpe's catalogue that are poor stuff. To be avoided, unless you're an undiscriminating fan for whom Sharpe can do no wrong.

Tom at his Sharpest
Simply splendid, said the review with no real experience. So take from it what you will. Your ears and mind will be delighted.
