Praise
“Irresistible. . . . The man’s a genius with words. . . . Whatever Amis has to say about a book or a writer seems just right–and lip smackingly phrased.” —The Washington Post
“Brilliant prose. . . .[Amis] proselytizes for talent by demonstrating it, by doing it. . . . He is a master.” –The New York Times Book Review
“Whatever the book, there is no one whose review of it you’d rather read than Amis’s. His prose is always buzzing, so much so that he doesn’t just review books, he rewrites them.” —San Francisco Chronicle
“[Written] with intelligence and ardor and panache. . . . Speaks not just to a lifetime of reading but also to a fascination with individual writers mature.” —The New York Times
