Not what I was expecting!
I tried to like this, mainly because I love Steven Pacey, but it's rambling became a blur. Mr Self from what I could make out is practically everything I hate rolled into one obnoxious sad excuse of a man. If it had been a physical book I would have thrown it away. I do appreciate the work put into it and I did understand the way it was portrayed but definitely not for me. We live and learn I suppose!

Good, but not great
A witty, funny satire on wealth and showbiz which gradually turns repetitive and tedious and so outstaying its welcome. The narrator Steven Pacey is excellent though and keeps it hurtling on to the end.

Spot on performance.
This is a brilliantly performed narration of an enormously entertaining novel. Stephen Pacey gets the mid-Atlantic tone of John Self exactly as I'd hoped. Great value for money over 16 hours. Recommended.

Funny and savage
Loved this - mainly for the outstanding reading, but also for the brilliant, coruscating Amis prose. The actual narrative isn't only quite interesting, but every sentence fizzes with immense comic energy. Pacey is superb at a variety of UK & US accents. Really can't recomend enough. But you need a strong stomach ...

Repellent
I realise this was written in the hateful 80s, but that only partly excuses it. It concerns a bunch of utterly repellent characters and employs the most loathsome, macho, crotch-grabbing prose to describe their seedy exploits. ‘But that’s the whole point!’ - Is it indeed. Well thanks, but you can count me out. I’d rather slam my fingers in the car door than read something this vile.

Painfully funny and sad<br />
Well read, painfully funny at times and hideous observation of humanity at its worst. A little on the long-winded side but well worth it.

Get on with it man
Let's start with a positive, Steven Pacey offers the most impressive performance I've heard from an audiobook. Indeed it was Pacey who got me through it, because boy oh boy did I nearly give up. The superfluous use of language soon grinds on you, it gets in the way of the plot and prevents you from really empathising with any character. Very pleased this one is done with

Brilliantly Narrated 1980s Period Piece
Strange but entertaining. Very funny in places. Very dark in others. I enjoyed it.

A full throttle drink/porn fueled monologue...
Whilst fully acknowledging that Martin Amis is obviously an incredibly talented writer, I struggled in places with this book. It reads like a boozy porn-fueled rant. I found the narration and plot line a little too erratic and jumpy in places. Overall, I would rank it as "good entertainment" and incredibly evocative of 1980s largesse. Definitely worth a listen to for Stephen Pacey's amazing performance.

Complete tosh
A gross and unattractive hero making more and more of the same stupid thoughtless mistakes. Why is this entertaining or funny?
