Well this is a damn good novel, to the surprise of no one (including me)

I'm saddened by the death of Martin Amis. When I was trying to teach myself how to write novels, his books, The Rachel Papers, Money, and London Fields were great stepping stones of style and droll comedy for me. https://t.co/dc2sy1lV5n
"Amis has trumped himself. . . . A complex and daring work that contains many passages of comic genius that can hardly be matched in English fiction since Dickens." --Newsday
"Amis' prose is hiw own: slangy, showy, knowing, with pinball rhythms. . . . [London Fields] is wickedly good." --Philadelphia Inquirer
"London Fields is Martin Amis' most ambitious, intelligent and nourishing novel to date. . . . Amis is hilariously eloquent." --Cleveland Plain Dealer
"Amis is a brilliant entertainer who knows how to wrap his anger at the terminal horrors of contemporary life in a movelike montage of varying styles and voices." --Newsweek
"A literary, funny, elaborate novel marinated in sex." --Wall Street Journal
"I Am one of many readers who thought that Money was the novel of the '80s, the book that captured the obscene greed of a decade. Now, with London Fields, Amis has published what may stand as the definitive end-of-the-millennium novel." --USA Today
"Amis is a clever, skillful writer, and London Fields displays his range of talents well." --San Francisco Chronicle
"His novel is a great act of generosity, a capacious and intelligent book that announces the author's importance in the arena of contemporary literature." --Vogue
