Review of 'The Wilt inheritance' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

The authors style of writing clearly resembles PG Wodehouse, but maybe not as funny. I'm sure a lot of people, including myself, love Wodehouse in 2011 as much as they did decades ago. Sharpe on the other feels like a cheap knockoff. The book is absurd at points, merely vulgar at most, and takes a sharp(no pun) turn towards some sort of light sadism at the end.
