4.0 out of 5 stars Lost & thankfully Found
Dear Adrian, keep writing. I've read all of your Diaries and enjoyed them all throughout the years. And don't worry about that Sue Townsend making "quite a lucrative living passing herself off as me", like you mention in the foreword. In fact I think you should become friends as she might have a few excellent suggestions for your writing career. Unpublished and frustrated...

3.0 out of 5 stars Not As Good As First Books In Series... Disappointing
Brief Description: Think of this book as a male version of Bridget Jones's Diary ... only more British and less funny. This is the eighth book in a series, and, in this particular outing, Mr. Mole is a middle-aged single parent dealing with dating, children, and housing issues.

My Thoughts: I read the first few books of this series (The Secret Diary of Adrian...

Brief Description: Think of this book as a male version of Bridget Jones's Diary ... only more British and less funny. This is the eighth book in a series, and, in this particular outing, Mr. Mole is a middle-aged single parent dealing with dating, children, and housing issues.

My Thoughts: I read the first few books of this series (The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 3/4 and The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole) years ago and remember them as being funny. Either the series hasn't aged well or I haven't as I wasn't terribly amused this time around. Of course, it could be that it was "too British" for me to get all the jokes. It wasn't a horrible read, but I was looking forward to catching up with good old Adrian and found him disappointing. It was kind of like finding an old boyfriend on Facebook and thinking "Oh. Why did I like him????"

Dear Adrian, keep writing. I've read all of your Diaries and enjoyed them all throughout the years. And don't worry about that Sue Townsend making "quite a lucrative living passing herself off as me", like you mention in the foreword. In fact I think you should become friends as she might have a few excellent suggestions for your writing career. Unpublished and frustrated authors like yourself could do with a little help. I'm sure Ms. Townsend wouldn't mind.

All the best for now. Love from one of your affectionate readers. X
