Ross O'Carroll Kelly

Someone told me to check these out, there seems to have been a few titles. Which is the first one I should read? I'd prefer reading in chronological order. Which is the best? Are they funny?

Cheers

I think "The teenage dirtbag years" is the first of them but I'm not %100 sure. They are definitely worth the read, very very funny.

When I was reading them I was going to college in UCD and almost every day on the dart ("dort" ) there'd be someone sitting near who may as well have just stepped out of the book as I was reading it; it was hard to keep a straight face at times.

great stuff, hard to read sometimes as the main character can be such an absolute git.

"The miseducation of Ross O-caroll Kelly" is first and v.good if you know anything about schools rugby

Great Books for reading on the train or bus. The Miseducation... is the first followed by Teenage Dirtbag years, Orange mocha... and P.S I scored the bridesmaids.That may not be the order they were published, but its right chronologicaly.

Yeah.. Misedu years.. Pick it up, not at all challenging to read, but very accurate none the less.. Go for it, gives lots of laughs..

I have to say, they are class books alright.

I read them in the week from Xmas day to New Years just gone. Very well written, great read and totally un-put-down-able.

Some great parts in them, and they have the whole D4 mentality thing down to a T.

Would recommend these books to anyone, and my sister and one of my mates have thanked me for it.

Definitely pick them up, and for what it's worth, the ending of PS I scored the bridesmaids is absolute quality.

Anyone know if there is another one in the pipeline?

Is it okay if I read the 'Orange Mocha-Chip Frapacino Years' first? Hah, I went to the bookstore on Friday. I looked up H for Howard. Couldn't find anything. Eventually I found just one copy of that book shoved somewhere so I decided to buy it. Only afterwards I realized Ross O'Carroll Kelly is actually a pseudonym so I should have looked up O or K. I had assumed the names of the books were Ross O'Carroll Kelly in...

It goes like this:

Miseducation
Teenage Dirtbag
Orange Mocha
PS I Scored The...

I don't know if you'd get some of the references in OM, but having said that, when I was reading the 4 of them, I took them as one long book, not as four seperate books.

Having gone to UCD, I found these books hilarious. I have two and I bought my boyf the other two (real reason: so I could read them myself...). The whole "dort" thing is so true, as is the "raid" for "road", "saith" for "south", etc. Would def recommend them!
