Product Description
So there I was, roysh, class legend, schools rugby legend, basically all-round legend, when someone decides you can't, like, sit the Leaving Cert four times. Well that put a focking spanner in the works. But joining the goys at college wasn't the mare I thought it would be, basically for, like, three major reasons: beer, women and more women. And for once I agree with Fionn about the, like, education possibilities. I mean, where else can you learn about Judge Judy, laminating fake IDs and, like, how to order a Ken and snog a girl at the same time? I may be beautiful, roysh, but I'm not stupid and this much I totally know: college focking rocks.

Customer Reviews
Welcome to the world of Ross O'Carroll-Kelly!!!!!
What can I say but bloody hilarious!!! I am not from Dublin myself but having gone to college there for several years and had many friends from the southside of the city this captures the nuances, ideals and down right snobbery of the younger inhabitants of the 'rich' part of our capital to a tee. Ross himself is a gem and you find yourself torn between hating and liking the guy, usually changing from page to page. Granted Ross is at times an over the top characterisation of the "Ya Ya" Rugger playing southsider but at the same time Paul Howard manages to accurately portray the mindset and interaction between these 'privileged' teens. He dazzles mostly with the word perfect dialogue that you can hear on any Dart journey south of Pearse station. If u are Irish and have ever met a Southside Dubliner buy it... if u are a Southside Dubliner buy it.... hell even if u have never been to Ireland buy it... my only complaint would be it was too short but it left me wanting more... 5 star all the way....
Funny Irish Book
This series of books is hilarious, but only if you're very familiar with Irish society (in particular Dublin). The author is a legend!
