"Martin Amis is truly one of a kind. His profundities regarding the human heart and mind are genuine, gritty and candid. ... Above all, Amis can write. He can write funny, and he can write mean. His sentences beckon. His passages seduce. His descriptive prowess is remarkable, as he conjures crystal-clear images in only a few words."—Southam Newspapers
