I spent twenty minutes on this review and it disappeared. Fuck you, LibraryThing? Fuck you, the computer? Anyway, these two stories will stay with me and are a compelling emotional argument against nuclear proliferation, and Bujak and the puppy Jackajack are two sweet heroes. I still hate your politics, Martin Amis, but when you write like this, fuck you slightly less. ( )

My introduction to the writing of Martin Amis. Thoroughly enjoyed this short book even though the stories were far from happy. I really struggled through the second story especially. ( )
