A review by rebus
Yellow Dog by Martin Amis

3.0

I had only discovered Amis a few years prior and had ravenously devoured most of his books to this point in time (disliking only a couple, while considering most of the rest masterpieces). 
I was, of course, profoundly excited for his first new work in 7 years and to be reading it in real time. It is, however, a slight disappointment and the beginning of a downturn in his writing that he hasn't really ever recovered from. 

It's still better than most of the dreck on the market, but it's not up to his previous standards.
