Query: Nice style, too much bile

I guess Martin Amis set out to write a book that would often be unpleasant to read, depicting a world that is frequently hateful. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes it's poignant, often it's beautifully written, but finally The Information is just a rant. The strong overtones of racial and gender prejudice and the jolly view of alcoholism also seem to slip across the line from the foibles of an anti-hero to the noisome biases of the author. In the end, Amis loses control of the abundant venom and it poisons his whole book.
