Will's Book Nook: Ronan Boyle Series Scribblings

 

The Ronan Boyle book series by Thomas Lennon, better known as a comedian and star of Reno 911, is about a detective who works with the Irish police on special cases involving magical creatures. I really liked the sense of humor and the wimpiness of the main character. You expect him to be strong and brave, but he is neither of those things. He gets by on his smarts and his knowledge of magical creatures. One of my favorite adventures involves leprechauns who Ronan interrogates about a stolen pot of gold. One of the best things about the audio book is that the author reads his own book. He has excellent comedic timing. I give it 5 out of 5 scribbles for the weirdness and laugh out loud moments. I especially enjoyed a second listen and got many of the references that I missed the first time around.
