Format:Mass Market Paperback
Perhaps it was a classic and real scream to read this novel when first published in 1954. It is a jolly farce which has not really withstood the test of time and only seems slightly funny these days. The erosion of years has not however worn away its literary merit. `Lucky Jim', knocks the socks off some of today's supposedly humour tagged excuses and so called contemporary masterpieces. Shine on this crazy diamond.

There is a strong sense of the meanings of relations between people in this book and very little really happens otherwise. When I try to remember the storyline it is eclipsed by Malcolm Bradbury's Eating People Is Wrong, which is similar to Lucky Jim but far superior and much more funny.
Amis has written a readable book that is interesting in places and will appeal to middle-aged readers more than young. Unfortunately the book sufferers from a lack of plot and has possibly one of the most anti-climatic endings in the history of literature
