So there I was, roysh, twenty-three years of age, still, like, gorgeous and rich, living off my legend as a schools rugby player, scoring the birds, being the man, when all of a sudden, roysh, life becomes a total mare. I don't have a Betty Blue what's wrong, but I can't eat, can't sleep, I don't even want to do the old beast with two backs, which means a major problem, and we're talking big time here. Normally my head is so full of, like thoughts, but now I'm down to just one: Sorcha, I'm playing it Kool and the Gang, but this is basically scary. I mean, I'm Ross O'Carroll-Kelly, for fock's sake, I don't do love.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
'Not an exact reproduction of Dublin life, but a very funny one.' -- The Irish Times The Irish Times 'This book would make an excellent stocking filler -- and a great way to pass a St Stephens Day afternoon.' -- Evening Echo Evening Echo 'Howard's crackerbarrel of laughs rides again, if you can stand it.' -- Books Ireland Books Ireland 'The Ross O'Carroll Kelly books are pretty much a cultural phenomenon. In the best tradition of Catcher in the Rye, Huckleberry Finn and closer to home A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man they follow a callow youth taking and making the difficult journey into adulthood.' -- oxygen.ie

Funniest book I have read in years,
By
This review is from: Ross O'Carroll-Kelly, PS, I scored the bridesmaids (Paperback)
When in Ireland in the summer of 2005 some friends recommended this book. I picked it up and read it on a plane in nearly one sitting. I laughed so hard that I had tears running down my face and my sides hurt.
A lot of this humour works if you are familiar with Dublin, and the stereotypes in the city, but I would also recommend it to anyone who's got married (or plans to) in the 'modern day'. One word sums up this book - hillarious.
