Recensioner i media

Amis can be sharp and even brutal as well as funny and indiscreet...he has evidently written Memoirs with relish * Sunday Telegraph * He is nasty about people that have amply deserved it one way or the other; he deflates pretension; he exposes doublethink...he also excels in hailing poets and truepennies * Guardian * Kingsley Amis's funniest book since Lucky Jim. It's humour is heart-warmingly malicious * Sunday Times * Horribly enjoyable... The chief feeling is shame at laughing quite so much * Independent on Sunday * Endlessly entertaining... Good, rollicking stuff, and a delight to read... Sir Kingsley Amis is surely one of the funniest men alive * Sunday Telegraph *
