Review # 1 was written on 2007-05-30 00:00:00 Brian Bolig I'm going to be honest here. It's a good biography, but I grew to have such personal distaste for Amis by the second third of the book that I was unable to finish it. Schmuck.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-06-29 00:00:00 Katherine Taft Ok so I didn't read this cover to cover. It's nearly 900 pages. It was massively reduced in a bookstore here, so I picked up this hardback hefty tome for something ridiculous like three dollars. I've read a few of his novels, Lucky Jim is a classic. And I picked through this just for the juicy bits: the marriages, philandering, Martin stories, drunkeness, arguments etc. What a character and mostly a complete shit. I was intrigued to hear he'd published a book in the early 70s about drink. Guide to obscure cocktails and etiquette of drinks. Have to track that down. Chin chin old chap.
