  Grantchester Grind - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grantchester Grind is a novel written by Tom Sharpe, a British novelist born in 1923 who was educated at Lancing College and then at Pembroke College, Cambridge.
Grantchester Grind follows on the story of a fictitious Cambridge college, started in the previous book, Porterhouse Blue, a college whose funds were exhausted by a previous bursar with a tendency to gamble.
One of the story's central themes, therefore, is guided by the Senior Members' attempts to acquire funds for the college, after an incident involving a bedder and an undergraduate caused the Bull Tower to be severely damaged.

Grantchester Grind by Tom Sharpe is subtitled A Porterhouse Chronicle; the novel is a follow-on, some years after, to Sharpe's great English university satire, Porterhouse Blue.
Grantchester Grind is not a mystery novel, although several of the main characters' motivations would work well in a murder mystery, and some others' in an international-crime farce.
Mix the old education with Tom Sharpe's erudite wit, high and low humor in Porterhouse Blue and Grantchester Grind, and we have a hilarious commentary on modern times and modern education, so-called.

For one who missed Sharpe's 10-year hiatus, Grantchester Grind and his latest book, The Midden, was a welcome return for the reigning king of British humor.
This is bad enough, but stretches of the book are also badly written with lots of repetitive phraseology such as "said the older man." The ending is far from satisfactory and it seems only an attempt to congeal a convoluted mess.
