This guy is pretty great. Really really really really REALLY funny! I've only read one of his books,Dead Babies,and am halfway through another - Money. Dead Babies was pretty good,but it seemed a bit.. sorta.. shit in places. I mean,it was supposed to be,I gathered. The story itself was pretty plotless,but the meaning behind everything was alright. I couldn't really relate,though. Money,however,is fantastic. It's about excess. And I've been sitting in study in school over the last few days surpressing giggles.
Martin Amis is a plonka of epic proportions. His primary talent has been in knowing the right people and publishing books that pander to the middle class who want to read about themselves and have a chuckle while knowing that Mister Farting Aimlessly will not write a single word that challenges their questionable moral high ground. He is platitudinous crap on a scale rarely seen and represents half assed dimwits who havent got the sense of Humour to find Tom Sharpe funny
dude, while archer served 2 years on corruption charges in prison I believe he and amis should both serve time for contravening the trades descriptions act for calling themselves authors
