Publisher Description

Adrian Mole is 39 and a quarter. Due to his financial situation, he has been forced to move next door to his parents. And his numerous nightly visits to the lavatory lead him to suspect prostate trouble.

As his worries multiply, a phone call to his old flame ignites powerful memories and makes him wonder - is she the only one who can save him now?

"Never read an Adrian Mole before and didn't intend to read this one. I saw it and got it for Roy but then in waiting at the library (a little too long) to be picked up I started reading it and then couldn't not finish. The style is a little frustrating for me but the pathos and the cleverness combined with the fact that it's dealing with contemporary politics etc. sucked me in."

    " A hilarious and moving entry into the Adrian Mole series, overseeing (view spoiler)[ the breakdown of his marriage to Daisy and his fight with prostate cancer. (hide spoiler)] "

    " Not bad, funny in places but not the most satisfying book in the series - I thought everything had been wrapped up in the last book? The ending was a bit unconclusive as well, which was a shame. Not exactly a Sopranos moment, but not far from it. "

    " Although still very funny and full of situations only Adrian Mole can get himself into, this one was rather sad. Still thoroughly enjoyed by me though! "

    " I grew up with Adrian Mole... really enjoyed the story which given he is about my age in this book was surprisingly difficult to read at time as it was quite close to home! "

  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " I love Adrian. This isn't the best. It's surprisingly poignant, as Adrian deals with the end of his marriage and cancer treatment. Still his enduring naivite is endearing. He's such a sweet, funny guy. Sure, I miss the British pop culture and political references, but I'm good with it. "

    " 3.5 Thought the predecessor to this one was a bit feeble, but this restored my faith - very funny indeed. "

    " An average book in my opinion. I found the rather "British" sense of humour a little too sarcastic for my liking. "

    " Enjoyable as always, one of those that's easy to read in a few sittings. At times I was laughing out loud: a good read if you enjoy the series. "

    " reread this for the first time in a while and i still enjoyed it just as much as the first time I read it. Reading Adrian Moe is like checking in with an old friend. "

    " I really wish more nice things would happen to Adrian Mole. I think he deserves it. It's as if Sue Townsend lies awake at night thinking of new ways to make Adrian miserable. I suppose if he were happy, it wouldn't make much of a book, but I'm quite tired of the 'wingeing.' "

    " This is the Adrian Mole book about which I'm most ambivalent. It's as funny as you'd expect...but it pushes some story elements to outrageous levels that don't really suit our dear Mr. Mole. "

    " I still re-read the earlier adrian mole books and they always make me laugh. This wasn't as entertaining - not as funny when an oblivious character is 30+ instead of a hapless teenager. Pandora is still much the same - seems only natural she'd become a Labor MP now that I think of it. "

    " Yep, enjoyed this one too, bought back memories of the late 90s, easier to relate to than the 80s politics of the previous diaries, as I was more aware myself of these times. Funny and readable, liked it, 3 stars. "
