Ilustration To Books Wilt (Wilt #1)

Henry Wilt, tied to a daft job and a domineering wife, has just been passed over for promotion yet again. Ahead of him at the Polytechnic stretch years of trying to thump literature into the heads of plasterers, joiners, butchers and the like. And things are no better at home where his massive wife, Eva, is given to boundless and unpredictable fits of enthusiasm -for transcendental meditation, yoga or the trampoline. But if Wilt can do nothing about his job, he can do something about his wife, in imagination at least, and his fantasies grow daily more murderous and more concrete.

After a peculiarly nasty experience at a party thrown by particularly nasty Americans, Wilt finds himself in several embarrassing positions: Eva stalks out in stratospheric dudgeon, and Wilt, under the inspiration of gin, puts one of his more vindictive fantasies into effect. But suspicions are instantly aroused and Wilt rapidly achieves an unenviable notoriety in the role of The Man Helping Police With Their Enquiries. Or is he exactly helping? Wilt's problem -although he's on the other side of the fence -is the same as Inspector Flint's: where is Eva Wilt? But Wilt begins to flourish in the heat of the investigation, and as the police stoke the flames of circumstantial evidence, Wilt deploys all his powers to show that the Law can't tell a Missing Person from a hole in the ground.

Commentary Containing Books Wilt (Wilt #1)

Wow. This is the funniest book I have ever read. I practically choked to death with laughter on a London Underground train long ago, unable to catch my breath from laughing.Everyone stared at me and some knew the book and grinned. I calmed down eventually, re-opened the book and was off again almost on the floor with laughter.

I've seen this book on every bookshelf in every second-hand/charity shop I visited and also read some good reviews so I thought I'd part with 50 cents and see what is all about. It's a British farce, not consistently funny, and a bit over-the-top but delightful nonetheless, fast and very well written. It's about this guy who's so disappointed with his life he finds a sort of escape in daydreaming of murdering his wife. Then she disappears and naturally becomes the prime suspect. It's good fun.

Don't make the mistake of reading this book in public. Everyone will think you're crazy. I have rarely laughed so much reading anything. It's very light but totally hilarious. After reading this I became a fan of Tom Sharpe and read more of his books. They are perfect if you are looking for light relief or need cheering up.

Probably one of the best books I've ever read. Smart and clever, a book that literally makes you laugh out loud

Such hilarity! Tom Sharpe comedy capers are brilliant. The TV film adaption starring Griff Rhys Jones and Mel Smith had me in fits. The film did the book justice. 👍🐯The vision of a naked Griff tied to a blow up sex doll! Uugh!

This is still a very funny book, surely a gold-standard member of the British humour club. It was released in 1976 and it must have been regarded as terribly risqué then.Tom Sharpe was a masterful writer. The story, of course, is absurd but that's one of the things I enjoyed about it. It's a short, (dare I say it) Sharpe read and if you feel the need to escape from reality for a few hours, I couldn't recommend a novel more highly.I'm sure some of my high school English teachers would have had

FIVE STARS!!! NOT A STAR LESS! This book was uproariously hilarious! A must read for anyone wanting a good laugh. Tom Sharpe was a master British satirist, up until his unfortunate death in 2013. I have now read 3 books by him, and each as good as the last if not better. I also happen to own every book he has written, and plan to read all of them once if not twice or thrice!Lewd, raunchy, and ludicrously comical are among the many words that can be used to describe this book and others. This one
