Well, it's great to see dear old Adrian Mole back after so many years. But this time he is a grown man in his 30's, not a meer spotty lad of 13 yrs old!

Sue Townsend has, yet again, written a book that is so witty, funny and comical, I was laughing the whole way through! He is an offal chef at the 'Hoi Polloi' restaurant in Soho, London. A job he endures only to earn a living. His real dream is to be a writer, something he has had little success of. Another one of his failures is Pandara Braithwaite, the beautiful school sweetheart who is up for election as the MP for Ashby-de-la-Zouch. He loves her dearly, and would be a dream come true for him if she could love him in return.

Now a single father to William, half Nigerian. Jo-Jo, William's mother, is now in Nigeria. William loves the Tellytubbies and Jeremy Clarkson videos. William lives with Adrian's somewhat eccentric mother and father, as Adrian works in London.

I think the funniest part is when Pauline (Adrian's mother) has an affair with Ivan Braithwaite (Pandora's father), so George (Adrian's father) goes to live with Pandora's mother, Tania. The thought of this situation happening in real life doesn't bare thinking of!!

Certainly a book to read and read again!
