Title: Come back, Martin Amis!
Review: I wait for Amis' books like I would the Second Coming, and I'm usually not left wanting. Unfortunately this was not my experience with YELLOW DOG. I felt at times he was trying to emulate Burroughs' cut-and-paste technique with the plot, but I didn't empathize enough with the characters to want to go back and retrace my steps. Yes, there's some diamond-sharp prose in this book, but it doesn't hang together. Where's the brilliance of LONDON FIELDS? The belly laughs of THE INFORMATION? Sorry, Martin, but you lost me on this one.
