Ross O'Carroll-Kelly is a fictional teenager from the southside of Dublin, Ireland. The book is a diary giving us the characters "hilarious" exploits in his own posh Dublin 4 accent. He plays on the school rugby team, "roids the arse" of various girls and generally behaves like an "orsehole".The Ross O'Carroll-Kelly series of books is very popular in Dublin and I guess most of Ireland but to be honest, I didn't enjoy the book. Probably a case of hearing how good it was for so long that by the time I got around to reading it my expectations had been raised beyond what was ever going to be possible for the book to live up to.
The Dublin 4 accent annoyed the "orse" off me too.
I might read the next book in the series to see if my attitude changes but I won't go out of my way to hunt it down. If it happens, it happens.
I give the Miseducation Years 2 "Total Filthies" out of 5
