NAMA Mia! by Ross O'carroll-Kelly
It was no country for young men. Or women ... Unemployment, emigration and do-it-yourself hair colour kits were once again a fact of life. Taxes were on the up, the IMF were on the way and there was a cash for gold outlet in Foxrock Village. But the signs for recovery were good - for me, at least. I was the chief executive of one of the few businesses turning a profit in this town, a shredding company helping to dispose of the Celtic Tiger's dirty little secrets. And I was getting plenty of love action - as the boy-toy of an attractive sixty-year-old woman who was totally rolling in it. I never imagined myself ending up as a gigolo. But, as the saying goes, where there's a will, there's a way-hey-hey! With presents galore, sex on demand and a hot meal on the table every night, life was storting to look up again. All I had to do to aovid focking it up was to keep my chinos buttoned. And, well, you can probably guess how that went.
Ross's misadventures and on-the-nose observations never fail to provoke a laugh-out-loud reaction.. bursting at the seams with spot-on parody * Irish Times *
Will leave you with pains in your cheeks from laughing * RTÉ Guide on The Oh My God Delusion *
Side-achingly funny * Sunday Independent *
Ross at his best: razor sharp, magnificently plotted and an utter joy to read * Irish Mail on Sunday on The Oh My God Delusion *
While the writing is as sharp and LOL funny as ever, Ross's complicated relationships ... are movingly explored. The closing pages had this reviewer in tears - and, for once, they weren't of helpless laughter * Hot Press on The Oh My God Delusion *
