Title: Brilliant language, but where's the finale?
Product review: Having been bowled over by Time's Arrow I don't side with those who say Amis is all virtuosity, but no heart. Night Train doesn't help my stance, though. Here, again, the sheer craft is fantastic, language stronger than NYPD Blue's and a character who is certainly more meat-and-bones than Patricia Cornwell's 'pop-open-the-chablis' doctors, and yet I missed something badly. Kept re-reading the last three pages to find the clue I missed. Apparently there isn't one. Apparently you can shoot yourself in the mouth three times. I just felt that I fired one of the bullets into my own foot.
