Excellent book, well written
A lot of this book is very funny and very well written. I struggled at times because the main character was so difficult to like but I'm glad I stuck with it

Favourite book from my favourite author
This is a fantastic audio version of Martin Amis' masterpiece. Steven Pacey is perfect for 'Money' and does the insane chaos that is John Self's existence full justice with his performance here. Like no other book you will ever read. the prose is genius, laugh out loud funny with more quotable lines than you will ever be capable of recalling.

Timeless, hilarious, superbly narrated
Amis’s funniest novel hasn’t dated at all in 40 years.. Stephen Pacey does an incredible job of bringing the characters to life: his Lorne Guyland in particular is side-splittingly hilarious. I’ve listened to this book umpteen times and still find myself coming back to it when in need of a lift. I’d give it 6 stars if I could. RIP Martin, and god bless you Stephen!

On the Money
Read this book. It is a work that perfectly describes the 80s and the Thatcher decade. The book gets better with each passing chapter. Its points are both subtle and obvious. Its characters named in modern Dickensian style.

Gripping, painful, philosophical!
Could not stop listening. The narrator is unbelievable- I listen to a lot of audiobooks and he’s the best yet. The ‘story’ is a million miles an hour while also developing slowly - I found it absolutely fascinating. Grim, painful, gritty and with strong views coming from the author but somehow just about manages to be hopeful/ transcendental at the end. Obvious and subtle with a ‘whodunnit’ thrown in for good measure. It’s been a ride!

Loved it
A book if it's time but also still relevant, something that you should be ashamed of and also knowledgeable of, superbly written in every sense, funny, witty, dreadful and fun and terrible. Some will take against it I'm sure.
Steven Pacey is brilliant, so good I will consider his narration as a possible future purchase.

Average story, Incredible performance
Money is a novel written as a Kerouac-esque stream of consiousness, just without the romanticism or sense of adventure.
There are some meomorable lines and laugh-aloud moments scattered throughout, but the redeeming quality for me was Steven Pacey's performance as narrator. I'll definitely be on the look out for his work in future.

Really deserves 4.5
This book only narrowly misses out on the top spot by not being the best Amis book on offer, London Fields is almost certainly better, but that is not to say that this is any short of excellent. Stephen Pacy's narration is spot on, and the humorous satire will keep you entertained, even if it doesn't have you rolling in the isles. strongly recommend however.

Excellent performance and book
Read this many years ago. Superb turns if phrase and brilliantly performed. A little laboured in parts, still a modern classic.

Great reading by Steven Pacey as usual
The story was remarkably funny but also interesting psychologically. The main character was certainly not a good human being but still somewhat sympathetic by the end. And Steven Pacey is simply the best narrator there is; everything narrated by him is worth a listen.
