Review
"Martin Amis at his best... Wonderful... Extravagantly funny" (Guardian)
"As clever and convincing as ever" (Sunday Telegraph)
"[There] are moments of magical vigilance and great emotional delicacy, intimations of a quite different kind of writer that Amis could be, or would be, perhaps, were it not for the demands of his devastating comic gift" (Guardian)
"Mind tinglingly good... He seems to have guessed what you thought about the world, and then expressed it far better than you ever could... Here is a novel to silence the doubters...Amis has found a subject to match the tessellated polish of his style" (Observer)
"'Lucid... Daring... A blissful antidote to the arrhythmic stylelessness of so much contemporary fiction" (Time Out)
Book Description
'As funny as Dead Babies, as blackly portentous as London Fields and as satirically on-the-nail as Money' Mail on Sunday
