[Mark Delaney · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you're an Irish primary school teacher, read this book at your peril! Such is the scandalous carry on of its two lead characters George Ryan and Cecil Chuckleworth, it almost influences the reader in to trying a new approach in the classroom. Their approach! And it certainly wouldn't be recommended for health reasons. How does drinking all your wages (ill-gained in their case) or scheming to avoid every inspector in the country and your headmaster for that matter sound? Or making up every story under the sun to avoid going to school in the first place? Well that's the way of things in Ryan's memoirs and its a genuinely hilarious account. I don't recall ever laughing as much reading a book as I did with this one. In the words of the great Con Houlihan, George Ryan is the funniest man at large in Ireland. Indeed.

The funniest book I ever read.
