This work was my first book by this author, and it is an encounter with a particular writing style. Martin Amis portrays the life of a satisfied John Self, obsessed with money, alcohol, food, drugs, and pornography. It is a table of the prosperity of the beginning of the eighties, disturbing as much by the excess and the abundance of money that allows this individual to do what he wants; it is a despicable personage. It's catchy, and we arrive at the end of the 400 pages without realizing it because, as mentioned on the last page, the asset of this character is the sense of mockery.

Hanneke Hopefully you will try another one of his books, Luis. I think Martin Amis is just being extremely cynical and he likes to antagonize his readers.

Certainly I would to. Thanks for the remainding, Hanneke!
