Title: There's a reason why publishers employ editors...
Product review: ...and, unfortunately, it is quite clear that Mr. Amis never availed himself of the service. I remember coming to the end, feeling the narrative beginning to wind down to a conclusion, FINALLY.What a relief, I thought to myself. I made it through one of the longest books I've ever read.Then I looked, and I was only a third of the way through the book. I felt no emotion for Keith, nothing but derision for Guy, our "murderee" was nothing but a gorgeous whore, and as for the narrator? The only character for whom I felt any empathy was Kath, whose under-inclusion in the book seemed only to serve the purpose of giving the other characters something off of which to aimlessly bounce.The worst books are those about which, somewhere in the pages, I find myself asking, "Why should I care?" Not a page went by that I didn't ask that question. The only reason I gave it one star is because zero is not an option.
