Three times in the reading of this book, the courage, compassion and simplicity of Amis's writing brought me to tears. As a portrait of sustaining love between a father and a son, Experience stands alone among the testaments * The Times *
Astonishing… A book that captures a time, with writing that makes it timeless * Sunday Times, *25 Best Non-Fiction Books of the 21st Century* *
