Reviews
-
"Amis has brought off the feat of satirizing his contemporaries while making them both funny and, in a bizarre way, moving"
Peter Ackroyd
-
"Scurrilous, shameless and very funny"
Times Literary Supplement
-
"Amis's arrogantly assured manner is a formidable weapon, spraying the target with disdainful wit, ingenious obscenity, astute literariness, loathing, lust, anxiety and an all-pervading hyper-self-consciousness"
Observer
-
"Extravagantly sexual...highly enjoyable"
Evening Standard
