Ah why don't you all give each other a 'high five' and be done with it :pac:

You're supposed to find him annoying. He's supposed to be everything that was wrong with Celtic Tiger Ireland.

The last book has completely changed how you will see him, though. Very interested to see how the next book will continue.

Has anyone read the latest book? "We need to talk about Ross?" It's Paul Howard interviewing Ross and his family and friends in an attempt to find out more about the "real" Ross. The book is really funny, but the stuff you find out about it kinda ruins the other books Without giving away too much, it makes most of the stuff in the other books lies.

I think he should have laid Ross to bed with this book, it would have been a good way to end it all (finding out that Ross IS actually a good person, etc) but he's releasing another book later in the year. Glad to be getting another installment, but it won't be the same after reading this one!

I liked the latest book. It fleshes out a lot of the characters, and makes them more three dimensional, rather than the simple stereotypes, most of them started out as.

I don't know why people have such an intense dislike for these books. I don't know any other book or series of books, that provokes such a reaction. If you don't like them don't read them.

Cos it's not "intellectual" enough, and stuff.

Can't be reading ROCK when you could be pretending to have read Ullyses or some such. :P

I can't stand this argument; why should it be beyond criticism?

It's not like you have to read it, you can say what you dont like about it. Don't moan and complain like the world is going to end it's just stupid.

I think the books are good. I've just finished "Rhino what you did last summer" and am reading "lets talk about ross" rhino what you did last summer is hilarious with the cofee incident with honour, classic! "Lets talk about ross" is great! it really teaches you about his past, and also gives ross's story from different perspectives but I find that the Charles and fionualla chapters really drag on and get boring, you start to miss the comical characters such as Ronan, Ross, Erica all those funny exagerated stereotypical characters.

I think where the whole thing is (predictably) going is that he's going to turn into his dad.

I like the newer books because they've started to develop characters properly but I do feel the first 3/4 were considerably funnier. At this stage they've kinda lost the edge.
