Protagonist is doomed from the start, but is so entertaining while he is doing it. A writer's book, full of jealousy and small-mindedness, "liiterary" writer versus "airport read" writer. Good fun. francaldwell | Nov 26, 2008 | This was a bit of a tough book to finish. But it is very memorable for a brilliant simile: it must have been like trying to get a raw oyster into a parking meter; referring to relations betweens Casaubon and Dorothea of Middlemarch. What potent imagery. (  ) kristenliberty | Oct 21, 2007 | Amis is bitter so I don't have to be...just grateful that he can get all the angst and anger of my chest, and let me laugh. (  ) mjharris | Apr 24, 2007 | There is no doubt that Amis is a literary genius. A fact however that he never tires of showing off about. You couldn't fault the intellectual range he displays however sometimes less is more and the actual story can drag whilst Amis is off performing his amazing feats of literary dexterity.
