3.0 out of 5 stars
Real hit and miss here...,
By
This review is from: Vintage Amis (Paperback)
I don't know any other way to state it, but the obvious:1. "State of England" = almost made me not want to read anymore. Horrible way to open a "reader" of Amis' work. Utterly dull. UGH. 2. "My Missing" & "Money" = both were so-so, nothing quite spectacular. 3. "Mrs. Nabokov" & "Flame Lake" = both VERY nicely written, very, very commendable. 4. "Coincidence of the Arts" = BEAUTIFUL! Really, really, great, best of the lot as far as I'm concerned. 5. "Republicans 1988" = also very well written and nicely assembled. 6. "London Fields" = (see #1) UGH.... 7. "Porno's Last Summer" = almost...ahem..."too" amusing... Very well done and interesting to say the least. Overall, this book is a hit and miss. Plenty of good. Plenty of bad. Worth its value, though, for Coincidence of the Arts and Insigt at Flame Lake.

Hit and Amiss,

This review is from: Vintage Amis (Paperback)
I agree that parts of this book are outstanding, such as "Flame Lake" and the bit on the Republicans. The rest, one has to wonder why anyone would bother putting pen to paper. You might try reading the above couple quickly at the bookshop.
