Normal Sheeple

By: Ross O'Carroll-Kelly

Narrated by: Rory Nolan

Brought to you by Penguin.

A love affair born in rural Ireland! Two mismatched lovers, locked in a relationship that will change both of them ... forever!

From the day I was born, I was brought up to believe that Gaelic games were invented for people too stupid to understand the laws of rugby. Little did I know that one day I would become a legend of Kerry football.

But then my life has taken a lot of unexpected twists and turns.

My old man is, like, the Taoiseach of the country. My wife is an actual Minister in his Government. And my suddenly teenage daughter is heading for the Jailtacht - and her very first rugby boyfriend.
And then there's Marianne ...

Of course, I was too busy becoming a Gaelic football stor to realise that my family - like the entire country - was being pushed towards a cliff edge. And I was the only man capable of saving Ireland's democracy.

Which is just like, 'Fooooooock!'

Critic reviews

Another winner . . . I hope this series runs for decades

A triumph

Funniest yet!

[Ross's] epic voyage from south Dublin into the heart of GAA country offers readers a new lens through which to observe and laugh at the ultimate Irish urban-rural divide

Really sharp . . . I laughed a lot! (Kevin Power)

Reader and story

The books are just brilliant and the reader brings them to life so well. It’s impossible to put this down

Absolutely superb as usual

The story and the narration are absolutely perfect. I can’t fault anything. Ross gets himself into and out of so many scrapes it never fails to entertain. Rory Nolan narrates superbly the voices are spot on for all the characters and never fail to be consistent throughout.
I cannot recommend this book enough!

I really hope they continue to release the back catalogue in audiobook format.
