It's my first Tom Sharpe novel and I had great fun with the less salubrious side of the English language lol. The plot seems to be slightly unsatisfactory in that it come to no real conclusion, but that does not matter because, the path to get there it's more important than the point of arrival. I found myself laughing out loud with absurdity of the situations, although one also feels that, under certain circumstanc The guy died recently and I got my hands on the last Wilt book while on holidays. I found myself laughing out loud with absurdity of the situations, although one also feels that, under certain Wilt in Nowhere: (Wilt Series 4), these things might happen for real. It' a treat to follow Wilt in Nowhere: (Wilt Series 4) the innocent actions will lead to chaotic results, and that is where the fun lies. This's hardly great literature, but the non-stop nonsense is very enjoyable. View all 5 comments. Mar 19, Pablo Estevez rated it it was ok. Not as good as 'Wilt', because there was less of the man in it. Dec 18, Adam Gower rated it liked it. Don't get me wrong, there were some real good laughs and Sharpe writes witty crude banter well but when you try and make everything funny, you cease to be funny at all. This is my take away from this book. Will be for some but just not for me. Aug 21, Diskojoe rated it liked it. As I said before, this is a lot closer to Waugh in a modern Wilt in Nowhere: (Wilt Series 4). Jul 15, JonRaven rated it really liked it. I believe I mildly laughed on just one occasion. That said, the book was amusing. Smile worthy, so to speak. I enjoyed it, but have to reduce my rating on account of having not found it quite as funny as I'd hoped in contrast to other books. Thus far it seems the older the Tom Sharpe book, the funnier it is. As a teenager I read the first two Wilt books and was mildly bemused by the adult humour; in this latest book Sharpe has clearly lost his way. Wilt and his wife central characters were children during the second world war and yet themselves have pre-teen children inand they are not really timeless characters. I picked this up last year in Heathrow airport where someone had cast it aside. Now I know why they did so. Aug 19, James rated it it was ok. A quick read. I've never thought these Wilt books have lived up to the quotes on the book jacket. They're mildly amusing diversions at best. I think this is Wilt in Nowhere: (Wilt Series 4) weakest, coming 20 years after Wilt on High. Every mention of peadophiles, sodomy and the like seems designed to be shocking and thus somehow funny in itself, but it just comes off as crude, and coupled with unpleasant characters it adds up to a pretty inconsequential, unsatisfying whole. A shame, as I quite enjoyed the original Wilt. Nov 15, Alberto G. Probably the worst book of all Wilt's life. The main character was not Wilt, in fact, the argument roles by his wife and daughters and the unpleasant misunderstood inspector Flint. I miss more Wilt's Wilt in Nowhere: (Wilt Series 4) action in this story. Let me admit it from the start: I have bad taste. You can't be high brow every day and Sharpe is a bloke who can be very funny. One thing I've been discovering of late is that I don't laugh with the same things I used to in my younger days, but a good comedy makes me laugh as always. Wilt In Nowhere was written by an old Let me admit it from the start: I have bad taste. Wilt In Nowhere was written by an old Sharpe and it's the fourth one in the Wilt series. Humour becomes a bit repetitive, it turns much around sex, or absence thereof, around his fatty wife and the four quads.
