Endlessly entertaining... Good, rollicking stuff, and a delight to read... Sir Kingsley Amis is surely one of the funniest men alive
Horribly enjoyable... The chief feeling is shame at laughing quite so much
Kingsley Amis's funniest book since Lucky Jim. It's humour is heart-warmingly malicious
He is nasty about people that have amply deserved it one way or the other; he deflates pretension; he exposes doublethink...he also excels in hailing poets and truepennies
Amis can be sharp and even brutal as well as funny and indiscreet...he has evidently written Memoirs with relish
