A Laugh Riot!,
By
This review is from: The Teenage Dirt-bag Years (Paperback)
I sat on the sofa and read this book front to back in an afternoon. I laughed out loud on every page. If you're ever feeling guilty about being selfish, read this book, the main character will make you feel like a saint.

Not the best of the series, but worth a read,

If you are only going to read one of the 'fictional autobiographies' I would pick "ps. I scored . . ". However, once you've read those I think you'll want to pick the rest of these up.
How can Ross be so dumb and yet so successful? Probably funnier for guys but I love this series.

I seriously love this series. The first four books should really be read as one big book, as the broader storyline fully arks with "P.S. I scored the bridesmaids." I've read the full series now, and find myself gifting copies of the first four books to friends. The humor is not for everyone, but if you have a softspot in your heart for sophomoric set-ups with subtle (and occasionally shocking) depth, then you will eat this up. While this series is written for an Irish audience, it indirectly comments on American pop-culture and economic trajectory. There is something searingly truthful about viewing the comically tragic influence of Americanized coming-of-age through the Irish lens. The language and slang can be a bit choppy to get used to at first, but there are great wiki posts and web resources to help with these (also see the fb group: R'OCK in the USA). After a while, you will find yourself reading these with ease and wishing Americans had wittier slang.

You love to hate him.,

I started this series by picking up Should Have Got Off at Sydney Parade while in Dublin and I liked it so much I had to start from the begining. It's definitely written for guys because the women are complete idiot/bimbos and the men are sports studs but that's what makes it so funny. It's completely outlandish and it's hilarious to be in the head of this self-proclaimed sex god and living legend. Definitely good for a quick read if you're looking for something to laugh at.
