Editorial Reviews:
Review:

"[A] collection of material so sharp it reminds you not only of why he was invited to the party in the first place, but why he might stay longer than some of the other literary loudmouths....[T]he utter concentration of close and repeated reading combined with a determined nonchalance about drawing a larger conclusion... is what makes the book such a riot to read. "

Daniel Handler, Newsday (Long Island, N.Y.), 11/18/2001

Review:

"[The] reviews in this volume are consistently cogent, often illuminating and almost always entertaining. Though the pieces in this book range over a variety of subjects..., it is as a literary critic that Mr. Amis distinguishes himself....[T]here's an unaccommodated love of literature in these pages, a fervent belief in the transformative powers of fiction and the magical properties of words to conjure beauty and wisdom."

Michiko Kakutani, New York Times, 12/11/2001
