Publisher Description

Adrian Mole is 34 and three quarters, almost officially middle-aged, when Mr. Blair tells Parliament that Weapons of Mass Destruction can be deployed in 45 minutes and can reach Cyprus. Adrian is worried that he might not get a refund on his holiday. But that's not all that is bothering him. There's his odd girlfriend Marigold who has become distressingly New Age. And his son Glenn who is in Deepcut Barracks. Would Mr. Blair have been quite so keen if it had been his son manning a roadblock?

"I don't know how she does it, but Townsend has kept Adrian Mole fresh, funny, and touching all these years, since The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, Aged 13 3/4. Here Adrian is in his thirties, with two sons, one in the army, one in Africa with his mother; his relationship with the son in the army is particularly well-done, as Glenn goes to Iraq and Adrian, previously a supporter of the war, becomes uncertain of his feelings about it. As usual, Adrian gets into more messes than he can handle, romantically and financially, and many of the old cast of characters appear: Pandora, Nigel, Adrian's parents, even Barry Kent."

    " I'm really happy to have discovered Sue Townsend. (Thanks Haven!) Adrian Mole is a sort of literary misfit, but you just can't help loving him and all his crazy faults. I'd recommend this book to everyone. It is a great read and I had a lot of fun laughing while reading it. "

    " This is a funny book, with humor a bit like slapstick. But it's refreshing to find a book like this among so many novels about murders and death. Very enjoyable. "

    " I didn't think these books could get any better but Adrian's battle with the swan he calls Gielgud is as funny as his hopeless handling of women. Sue Townsend is a genius. "

    " if you remember adrian mole from when you were growing up, this is an easy read in the same style. However, adrian is not a very admirable character. "

    " Adrian Mole and I go back to 1985. He was a little older than I was when my family was living in London, and despite his complete detachment from reality, he helped me to "get" England. Now we're in our mid-30s, and our problems are different, but he's still hysterically funny. "

    " I liked this one better than the prior one in the series. If it drives you crazy to read about someone who chooses the opposite of what he knows he should do for almost every decision, then you probably shouldn't read it. "

    " okay book. Easy read. Idea behind the Title is a novel one. Crap finish though. As though the author suddenly decided right enoughs enough. I still marvel at how one person can have so much go wrong with their life. If nothing else made me feel a little happier about where I am. "

    " So much fun to read! Great characters and an entertaining storyline. I couldn't put this book down because I always wanted to know what was going to happen to Adrian next, and how things were going to pan out with regards to his crazy relationships and his opinions on the Iraq war. Brilliant! "
