Product Description
The story of John Self and his insatiable appetite for money, alcohol, drugs, porn and more. Ceaselessly inventive and thrillingly savage, it is a tale of life lived without restraint; of money and the disasters it can precipitate.Amazon.com Review
Absolutely one of the funniest, smartest, meanest books I know. John Self, the Rabelaisian narrator of the novel, is an advertising man and director of TV commercials who lurches through London and Manhattan, eating, drinking, drugging and smoking too much, buying too much sex, and caring for little else besides getting the big movie deal that will make him lots of money. Hey, it was the ’80s. Most importantly, however, Amis in Money musters more sheer entertainment power in any single sentence than most writers are lucky to produce in a career.

I even give you a star. The best word I can find to describe this book is cheesey. It is as convincing a car accident. I wonder how to get rid of him. I can not recommend to a friend. Not even funny, just stupid little annoying, especially a few pages before 78, when the narrator says the author, Martin Amis, by name, as someone whose stalking. Just dumb. Rating: 1 / 5
Is all the money? The money, they say, is the root of all evil today? Rating: 5 / 5
I can rarely leave a book without finishing it. It seemed to be very repetitive. John Self (ha ha) a selfish ad executive who travels Britishman United States to negotiate his first major film. A car alcoholics and drug addicts, life obsessed with a woman who cheats on an ongoing basis. He gets drunk frequently stops being funny. Friends can write and has a good sense of humor, but the story goes nowhere. Perhaps other books by him are of better quality. Rating: 2 / 5
This is one of the worst books that | I’ve never read. He could hardly wait for the final. At first I thought, above all, had the characteristics of ineptitude. Certainly Wouldn t | wait to read all the author | s other works. I do not regret giving this star. Rating: 1 / 5
Friends Marino said that the writing comes easily to him, and he is undoubtedly a writer. Anyone who loves to spin a pretty phrase, metaphor, or the description (and probably already a fan of Friends) will love this book. One that is more of a tradtional player who is interested in a single view of a fascinating story and characters that affect will be left with a shrug. I am the plot dernier.L next movie producer John autonomy in their travels between New York and London, and we have the opportunity to see the whole room service, surf, women and money writing these trips. Like all 80 stories of greed, money, alcohol, drugs and *** are gratifying, but these are the things that keeps turning charcters. Auto tells the story and reflects on the lifestyle. Thus, the novel is literally full of “I” disgust. I said: “The money I am putting my money around, more money, quickly. I’m sure.” However, the strip clubs and hangovers are more annoying than evil (the default in which I was very surprised ), and independence is more pathetic than any chose.Je others do not think there is an appearance of this novel is an engine of the plot, so do not miss any critical here. The novel is based on the Pen Friends “, but can be surprisingly boring. Even the passages that I liked, and they were many, were more intelligent and insightful. However, its capacity is overextendedand So, you have times when it is reduced to the description of moral autonomy in ways that make a teen rock band, anxiety can. “I’m done – the trash, I’m just rubbish” would fit well in any song from Korn. The end of the novel of moral weakness has not been exceeded. Instead, autonomy has been exhausted. The expected ruin an opportunity to have a real relationship and moved to another without enthusiasm. One way, too, the novel ends with more energy, despite a extatique.Peut few pieces of prose to be the book that the victim is an issue that has been exploited and exhausted in a series of books and films, namely the excess of the 1980s. But if it was a great book, stands out from other would be his only. He did not, and I’ll forget. In the middle of the novel, autonomy, as the narrator says: “Points of a trip no matter when the trip is not destiny, alone and in final. An ironic, indeed. There is no change, no destination, just as an end run out. Thus, the “money” does not matter. Rating: 2 / 5
