Ross O'Carroll-Kelly: The Teenage Dirtbag Years: 1

Ross O'Carroll-Kelly: The Teenage Dirtbag Years: 1

by PaulHoward (Author)

Synopsis

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.

Media Reviews

The funniest book of the year.

-- Hot Press

I don't regard the musings of O'Carroll-Kelly as being essentially humourous. I regard them as straight reportage, journalism of a very high order, which holds up a mirror to a way of life, a whole breed of men...

'Whether you love him or hate him, The Teenage Dirtbag Years will have you coming back for more.'

-- Erica Walsh, Trinity News

`In The Teenage Dirtbag Years our dim rugger-bugger anti-hero explores third-level education. This lad makes Beavis and Butthead look like Harvard graduates.'

-- Ferdia MacAnna, Sunday Independent

'Howard is the author of a superior account of life in Mountjoy and is the comic voice for the next decade.'

-- Eoghan Corry, Andersonstown News
