Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

I've had some pretty bad New Year's Eves in my life. But this one was officially...The! Worst! Ever!

My wife had just given birth to a baby that wasn't mine. My son had just walked out on his bride-to-be on the eve of their wedding. And my old dear was making threats of revenge against me for allowing her to choke on the olive from her breakfast martini.

Throw into the mix three infant sons who were banned from every public park and children's play centre in the city; a father who was working with dodgy Russian business interests to put himself in the Taoiseach's office; and a daughter who was about to do something truly shocking - even by her standards.

But then, one day, totally out of the blue, I received a very unexpected phone call....

And let's just say that Schmidt got real.

ROCK rules !

love the accent for Ronan, listened to it on a bus at four am and feel over laughing

looked the way loose ends for plots are pulled together and how there's continuity with the previous book.

the twins make the story all the better, Ross is the same old right t brain that eventually works out for the better.. ish ( Charles and his election).

Hilarious

I love reading all Rock books, but it was just amazing to hear Rory Nolan bring Ross to life in such an excellent delivery.
I would love all the books to be put into audiobook format.
This is a great book, I have come to expect nothing less from Paul Howard. The character development has stayed true to self throughout years of writing and this book is no different. You will belly laugh your way through this one.
Thank you for always delivering!

A great laugh

Another great instalment in the RO’CK series.
Took a little while to get used to Rory Nolan’s version of the characters having been used to listening to Paul Howard’s weekly podcast but after the first chapter I grew to love his interpretation of each.

Listening to this as an audiobook really adds to the story also. Definitely worth listening to even if you’ve read the book already.
