“A romp about one of nature’s gentlemen making his innocent and ruthless way through the jungle of contemporary sex, VAT, law and order, etc… savage, knock-about farce.”

Kurzbeschreibung
Hilarity ensues when Lockhart Flawse is catapulted out of his upper-class and rapunzel-esque life with the curmudgeonly Flawse Senior, and into the world of suburbia, and marriage. Rendered an absolute twit in modern society by his medieval upbringing, Lockhart must resort to drastic tactics in his attempt to return to Flawes House. Faced with the horrors of suburbia, he must either terrorise, blackmail and potentially kill an entire street of his tenants, or attempt to find his unknown and elusive father in order to inherit the estate. However, with the belief that he was dropped into his mother's arms by a stork, killing a street of people may be the wiser option for the socially inept young man. He is also under amounting pressure, as it may all be in vain if his gold-digging mother-in-law has her way. Now the wife of Flawse Senior, she has decided that if Lockhart's wealthy grandfather can't have the decency to die on his own, that she will take matters into her own hands.

I've lost count of the number of times I have read this book. I have lost numerous copies, which I have handed to Family and friends, never to see there return....Only Friends and Family on the end of the telephone, crying with laughter. If I never read another book, I will always be glad I read this. If you haven't been privileged enough to read it yet, do yourself a favour, buy a copy as soon as possible, sit back, relax and enjoy.

You have not experienced true laughter until you read this one! I could not believe the things Sharpe put into this book! I tried explaining to people what the book was about, but it's just not possible. If you have a "questionable" sense of humor and enjoy comedy and even a little perversion...this is the ONE you MUST read!

Perhaps the funniest book I have ever read.
28. Januar 2004
Format:Taschenbuch
The base premise is really simple. Guy inherits a street of houses, but they are on long leases at low rent. The only way he can earn a living is to get the residents to leave.
So he engages on a meticulously planned campaign of side-splitting terror. The methods employed to rid himself of his reluctant residents are gruesome, medieval but oh so funny.
This is Tom Sharpe at his riproaring best.

Demented, literary terrorism
25. Februar 1999
Format:Taschenbuch
I have been reading Sharpe for twenty five years and this is, if not the absolute best of his books, certainly the funniest and most completely anarchic. One can not help admire the protagonist who through no fault of his own has no outlet in the modern world for his undoubted abilities. All of us have at some time aspired to unfettered control of our destinies but are content to allow society to dictate the standards by which we operate. No such petty concerns trouble the throwback - he will by fair means or foul, secure his home and his family. I can only admire him, and hope that he truly exists, in his Northumbrian fastness, daring the revenue man to cross his threshold. There's a lesson here, couched in some of the most hilarious writing since Mein Kampf.
