I absolutely love Martin Amis, been a fan since I read Lionel Asbo, the only Martin Amis book I didn't like was Night Train, a couple of books later, it's good to see he hasn't disappointed.

Success is a hard one to review, such mixed feelings about it, but not in a good way. I think reading Ian McEwan's First Love, Last Rites kinda inoculated me for the subject matter in this book. Incest, and yob-phobia + class pretentiousness are a bit hard to swallow, but Martin is a skilled writer. This book reads well, its narrative style, the juxtaposition between Terrence and Gregory's POVs of similar/related experiences gives the novel quite some depth.

It's not as awe-inspiring as say Rachel Papers or Money, but a good read nonetheless.
