This book took me a LONG time to read, and the despicableness of the protagonist, John Self, had a lot to do with it. I just couldn't get past how disgusting and loathsome he was, and didn't understand why anyone would want to waste their time reading about such an unlikable character. After struggling through the first half, however, the second half gripped me and I found that I couldn't put it down.
Amis is an excellent writer, using witty, refined prose to describe a fairly abhorrent lifestyle and the consequences brought about by such a life. This is dealt with so effectively that you find yourself unable to stop thinking about the story long after turning the final page. A strange, difficult, but ultimately enjoyable read on the pitfalls of indulgence.

My experience with this book is very similar to yours, but, alas!, I did throw it away before reaching the second half. Now you made me wonder, should I have another go? Hmmm.
