The Americans weigh in:
 

"Women May Be From Venus, but Men Are From Hunger." Michiko Kakutani reviews Yellow Dog for the New York Times (28 October 2003). [Opening sentences: "Martin Amis's new novel reads like a sendup of a Martin Amis novel written by someone intent on sabotaging his reputation. It bears as much resemblance to Mr. Amis's best fiction as a bad karaoke singer does to Frank Sinatra, as a kitchen magnet of Munch's 'Scream' does to the real painting"].

"Reverse Engineering." Walter Kirn reviews Yellow Dog for the New York Times Book Review (9 November 2003). [Opening sentences: "No one appreciates a preachy anarchist. No one likes a sermonizing vandal. When the wicked pleasure of negativity yields to the righteous urge toward pedantry, the satirist reaches the limits of his form and, perhaps, of his audience's patience, threatening to become a know-it-all reformer who's due for a little satirizing himself. Martin Amis, with his new novel of pornography, tabloid journalism and sexual politics, seems to have reached this subtle turning point -- and maybe even to have passed it."]
