Hilarious
Superb story.
Mostly good but some of GRJs characters a bit grating. Was difficult to discern between them at some stages.

Great plot, well read
Although not the funniest Sharpe novel, Gryff does a good job bringing the characters out. I much prefer PG Wodehouse read by Jonathan Cecil

Ironic
Would you listen to Porterhouse Blue again? Why?
The story is the ultimate irony in that the porter scullion becomes master of Porterhouse by accident and suffers the traditional masters fate of a Porterhouse Blue.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Scullion as he represents traditionalism.
Have you listened to any of Griff Rhys Jones’s other performances? How does this one compare?
havent listened to others but will look out for them now.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
no but it lends itself to reading in parts
Any additional comments?
I liked the David Jason portrayal on tv and am glad I bothered to read the book.

A trip down memory lane, much enjoyed.
Watched the movie of this when it came out many years back and really enjoyed it on so decided to try the audiobook and I’m glad that I did!
Is a fast moving interesting story that contains the right level of humour throughout and is brilliantly red by Griff Jones.
One of my real favourite audiobooks here and I listen to an awful lot of them and will doubtless listen to this one again at some point in the future.
I couldn’t recommend this book more.

Others were better
Struggled to finish this book. The narration didn't work for me. I've really enjoyed his books in the past though

Better than I remembered
Perhaps it was Griff Rhys Jones's narration or maybe I just didn't appreciate the humour when I first read this 40-odd years ago, but I found it hilarious. A fine old romp all round. Excellent fun.

Fabulously Funny
Great book, great reader.
One of the best audio books I’ve purchased from audible. I’ll begetting more from Tom Sharpe.
