About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Jim Dixon has accidentally fallen into a job at one of Britain's new red brick universities. A moderately successful future in the History Department beckons. As long as Jim can survive a madrigal-singing weekend at Professor Welch's, deliver a lecture on 'Merrie England' and resist Christine, the hopelessly desirable girlfriend of Welch's awful son Bertrand.

Brilliantly written and read!
Fantastically funny and clever story of a university outsider that rides his scallywag luck to create a unexpectedly better life for himself.

Superb writing
Storyline is limited. Relationship based. The characters are interesting rather than endearing. But the writing is superb.

Did Not Match Previous Reviews
Slow, predictable and generally uninspiring. Reviews suggested this book was good fun and a wholesome read - it was not.
