from the wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Amis

"Kingsley Amis famously showed no interest in his son's work. "I can point
out the exact place where he stopped and sent Money twirling through the
air; that's where the character named Martin Amis comes in." "Breaking the
rules, buggering about with the reader, drawing attention to himself,"
Kingsley complained [8]."

Sounds like a glowing recommendation to me

I like Money as well.  Also London Fields and The Information.

Read his father too, while you're at it.  Read One Fat Englishman, if you
can 
find it, or, of course, Lucky Jim.

I rather prefer Kingsley, actually.
