5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic, October 20, 2006

Linda Adni (Hudson, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: On Drink (Hardcover)

I know nothing of the reasons why Kingsley Amis wrote this book, but I'm certainly glad he did. A primer on what to drink and how, the book is wonderfully dated by the changes in drinking habits over the past thirty years. Amis's humor stands up though to the test of time though, as does his commentary on why people drink and what drinking signifies in culture. Includes recipes too.
