Query: Martin Amis's debut tries to be funny, but isn't

I was utterly diappointed by Martin Amis's novel "Rachel Papers". The over-use of sex in this book doesn't make it any more erotic, and Charles Highway's arrogance grates on the reader. A few of his "insights" like the one about ignoble savages, reserved Italians, etc. were funny, but reading the rest was a trial in patience. This is definately the most oversexed book I've read since "The Burn" by Aksenov. At least this book does talk about STDs. Only worth 2 stars
