Full title - Ross O'Carroll-Kelly: The Orange Mocha-Chip Frappuccino Years by Paul Howard

This was a right laugh, roysh! I picked this up in Ireland when I was on vaccation second hand because I wanted some holiday reading, ya know light stuff. Well this was one of those that will stay in my library. It is about the life Ross O'Carroll-Kelly in Dublin and the surrounding areas. The writing style is very colliquial but not that had to figure out if you aren't a Dub.

Excerpt:

So there I was, roysh, enjoying college life, college birds and, like, a major amount of socialising. Then, roysh, the old pair decide to mess everything up for me. And we're talking totally here.

Don't ask me what they were thinking. I hadn't, like, changed or treated them any differently, but the next thing I know, roysh, I'm out on the streets. Another focking day in paradise for me!

If it hadn't been for Oisinn's apartment in Killiney, the old man paying for my Golf GTI, JP's old man's job offer and all the goys wanting to buy me drink, it would have been, like, a complete mare. Totally. But naturally, roysh, you can never be sure what life plans to do to you next. At least, it came as a complete focking surprise to me.

Very, very, funny sarcastic, sometimes scathingly brunt book.
