Media Reviews
Amis's backwards world is rigorously imagined. It is a world of pathos and cruel hilarity - but the crux, the test of his vision, is what he does with Auschwitz -- James Wood * Guardian *
The devastatingly sustained black irony stands comparison with Swift's A Modest Proposal. It is, I think, Amis's finest achievement to date * Financial Times *
Extraordinary - Ironic inversion is essentially a comic device, but its trickery here yields results that are rigorously grave * Independent on Sunday *
An icy, hard read - Amis is at his intriguing, powerful and heedful best * Time Out *
Amis's most daring and ambitious novel * Daily Telegraph *
