Review:
"Sparkling might not be the first adjective that springs to mind to describe a novel packed with the concentrated disgust which Dead Babies contains. Nevertheless, Martin Amis's version of the bleak and wrecky future that awaits a sex-and-drug-addicted society is so fizzing with style, so busy with verbal inventiveness, that the adjective is impelled upon one" (Julian Barnes)
"Viciously funny, at once a hilarious joke and a technical triumph" (Financial Times)
"Very funny, extremely clever" (Guardian)
"A fine piece of comic-writing" (Times literary supplement)
