Martin Amis is a marmite author - I either really like his books or cannot stand them. This is a "good" one.
Low life Lionel Asbo scrapes a living as a jobbing criminal. His tools of the trade are a short fuse, an ability to inflict indiscriminate violence and a pair of psychopathic dogs. He has a soft spot for his mum, a mother of seven by 6 different men, a grandmother at 25 - with a soft spot for teenage boys

Lionel, Lionel where did it all go right? Sprawling mansion, dolly bird, flash car. Winning £140m on the lottery helps.
Next - the fall?
Enter stage left Mark E Smith, with his gran on the bongos.

LA is a caricature, a two dimensional thug made good with a big lottery win. Hugely enjoyable and I am sure a character that Amis loved writing. Just don't look for anything profound.
