The Gropes ReviewReviewer Neil Lucock in the UK hit the nail on the head in his accurate review. Sadly, in a single word, The Gropes is 'amateurish.' It reads like a sixteen-year old's version of Sharpe and, indeed, it may well be that the admirable Mr Sharpe - who is now 82 years young and not in the best of health if the dedication is any clue - has entered his second childhood. I would write more specifically on the novel but it's all been well said on the amazon.co.uk site. Check it out.
So why did I part with nine quid, even after reading the negative reviews on the Amazon UK site? Partly because the hardcover was on sale for a 50% discount, but mostly out of a sense of nostalgia or respect for a man whose books once had the ability to make me hurt with laughter - often in public. So it appears that I am just a sentimental old fool. I can think of worse fates. The Gropes left me with a profound melancholy which is a first for a Tom Sharpe novel! But it made me reflect on the life of a man who has entertained millions, and influenced more than a few of us wannabes. For that, I'd have spent the whole eighteen quid had it been necessary.
