"Scurrilous, shameless and very funny." -- "Times Literary Supplement" "Amis has brought off the feat of satirizing his contemporaries while making them both funny and, in a bizarre way, moving." -- Peter Ackroyd "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"  Be the first to write a customer review
