Frankly astonishing comic novel about a mentally ill man who abuses schoolchildren. Many of Thomas's novels were thought to be semi-autobiographical. Still funny though. ( )

A classic comedy about a man who likes under-age girls. The theme is sexual, but it's not a particularly erotic book in itself, and deals more with the main character than with the girls. The interplay with the policeman is very well done. It's extremely well written, very clever, and very funny. ( )
