About this listen

 John Self is addicted to life. Porn freak and jetsetter, a aficionado of wealth and women, Self is the shameless heir to a fast-food culture where money beats out an insistent invitation to futile self-gratification. Out in New York, mingling with the mighty, making a fortune but spending more, Self is embroiled in the corruption, the brutality, and the obscenity of the money conspiracy.©1984 Martin Amis (P)2008 BBC Audiobooks Ltd Dark Humour Fiction Literature & Fiction Satire Money Funny Witty

Critic reviews

"Terribly, terminally funny; laughter in the dark, if ever I heard it." ( The Guardian)
All stars

Listened for about 3 hours but just couldn't get into this. It's the first Amis I've ever tried and unfortunately his writing style isn't for me. It feels like he's over used the thesaurus instead of keeping things simple. Perhaps style over substance?

Not for me

Remember this is set in the eighties, hence what was, although slightly embellished, the normal but bizarre behaviour of the protagonist and all those around him. It has now became almost an historical novel which some must see with a degree of disbelief. As to the unbelievable goings on, belive me, stuff like that happened.

Steve Pacey narrates with a joie de vivre that compliments the text perfectly.

So horrendously accurate.

This is one of the best-narrated audiobooks I've ever listened to. Pacey nails the voices, especially the weary transatlantic sarcasm of the protagonist-narrator John Self. The novel is a classic of 'skaz,' so it lends itself to being read aloud. It captures in brilliant detail the tacky unpleasantness of the early 1980s and of movie stars in general.

Superb

I read this book a long time ago and decided to re-visit via the audio version. The novel stands the test of time and Steven Pacey's narration brings John Self alive in all his awful but engaging glory. The Amis book and this production is not for the faint hearted but hugely entertaining. I cannot recommend this highly enough.
