About this listen

This sequel to Tom Sharpe's classic comic novel Porterhouse Blue takes the listener back to the hilarious goings-on at Porterhouse College.

The instinct of the true Porterhouse man faced with a crisis is to reach for the bottle and then to fall back on the subtle tactical skills honed at Cambridge down the centuries: blackmail and kidnap. But will these be enough? Menaced on all sides - by the collapse of the Chapel, by the tentacles of organised crime, and by the hovering threat of the abominable Dog’s Nose Man - will Porterhouse be forced to unleash the most fearsome weapon in its armoury - the college food?

Laugh out loud

A great way to revisit my reading as a younger man. I used to enjoy reading Tom Sharpe novels and wondered if the experience would be much different with an audio book. I loved it!!

Classic Room Sharpe!

Nowhere near the giddy heights of Porterhouse Blue, this was something of a slog. a great performance helped but too much time was sent with the American gangsters and there felt like a lot of padding.

a bit of a grind

Excellent version. The narrator did an excellent job getting his fruity voice around the swearing.

Great fun

A hilariously crafted story read by a hugely talented individual. I can’t recommend Tom Sharpe or the Narrator Jonathan Cecil highly enough.
