Please note that I am Irish; the setting of this story and it may contain some Irish references soory I have tried to narrow it down as much as possible! Thanks for understanding
This story contains 2 different things which are always mixed up and are regarded as the same thing. Being crazy, and being dumb. First, craziness. That is funny and it works. A fine example is Mark Fitzgerald, my friend is a bit crazy and he doesn't mind and that is good for him and I don't know what's the problem with that, it's funny, entertaining and people would say that's making fun of him but he doesn't mind and that's OK and if you don't think that's right then you should not be reading this book, actually I forbid you to read it if that's your way of looking at it. I like Mark for it. He is calling himself John Terry at the moment. But mark is crazy to the bone and that's good he will change his name or theme every so often because that's the way things are with him.
Now I must get on to the next part and this is the part I HATE!! Dumb is just acting tick. A fine example is Liam Kilcawley. (I'd be lucky if I got that spelling right!) He just is.. Well it can hardly be described. I know its cruel calling him names but it's the bitter truth. I like him, don't take this the wrong way he's a good friend. And this stuff will appear in the book, every chapter it's here. It's kind of the theme.
So I'm just making it clear that you better notice the difference in this otherwise you will be lost in this funny, light hearted tale of good, evil, dumbness, craziness and lots more. But I must warn you that it's filled with fighting, fantasy plots and… I won't spoil it for you, let's just follow these boys. 1 crazy, 1 dumb, both here in the war of the year.
