new Ross O Carroll Kelly book

5p9arw38djv2b4 · 2014-09-09 17:07:29

Anyone manage to get a copy? Tried several book stores in Dublin, none have received their stocks, one store reckoned while today was the official release date that a consignment must be delayed so it might be Thursday. Anyone find a copy or know more?

No luck at Waterstones or that one on Grafton Street..

In the past, Eason are usually the first to jump the gun...

Great literature might be more appropriate.

Got it in eason's yesterday.

Finished it last night.

Kind of disappointed. I enjoyed it, but not as much as usual. Not as funny.

Have to agree. I felt it was a bit tired and formulaic (more than usual!). Maybe I'm growing out of the series??

I'm about halfway through and enjoying it. I'm getting a giggle out of it anyway. For me, Honor has absolutely stolen the show over the last couple of books.

She will get her own series someday

I know of at least one third level English course where RO'C-K is studied as a comparative text, opposite Portrait of the Artist As a Young Man, both being considered something of the bildungsroman genre of story-telling.
