"The less you know about it when you start reading, the better off you are. I will mention that in retrospect it seems impossible that a mere human could have created something so lovely.

Joaquin said:
"Despite the fact that this is one of the most heavy-handed books ever written, it did manage to hold my attention. I didn't really suffer at all, and even managed to chuckle a few times.

Time's Arrow (Paperback) by Martin Amis |
my rating:

Joaquin said:
"Amis once said of Lolita that, for an author, style is morality. People who don't understand this will find this to be Amis' best book. That doesn't mean you shouldn't read it, but you don't really want to be one of those people, do you?
