His essays were pretty good
I like Money quite a lot but thought just about every other novel of his didn’t quite measure up. London Fields had its moments but a lot of meh too

He’s far better. Kingsley Amis wrote farces, Martin Amis wrote kino.

those weren't farces k amis wrote. they are life-- tragedy salted with humour.

I've only read Time's Arrow, which was decent but nothing special.
