A review by sminismoni
Lucky Jim by Kingsley Amis

3.0

I really appreciated the ironic humour in this book, and its cynical view of academia. On quite a few occasions I did find myself laughing out loud. In the end I could only give it 3 stars because I couldn't really bring myself to care about what happened to Dixon. For me the book dragged on (perhaps this was supposed to reflect the protagonist's predicament) and I was bored reading it.
