As a previous reviewer has observed, Patrick Barrett writes like Tom Sharpe “without the bad
language”. Personally, I’d be happy to write like Tom Sharpe using any kind of language, and I
fully endorse that reviewer’s opinion. This is a refreshingly clean farce, combining all those
essential ingredients: a plot told at breakneck speed, a myriad of highly improbable situations, a
motley cast of engaging characters, and a huge sigh of relief when the curtain comes down.
Thoroughly recommended. This is the most pleasurable read I’ve had in ages. And just look at all
those 4- and 5-star reviews!
