Adrian is thirty-but not yet quite grown-up-and his hilarious diary continues.

In the latest installment of this bestselling saga our hapless hero is now separated from his exotic and accomplished Nigerian wife (did he really think that could last?). He still pines for his first and only true love, Pandora Braithwaite, now a Labour M.P., and works as the cook at a smart London restaurant, Hoi Polloi, which specializes in repulsive working-class food. A chance for a television series, Offally Good!, is promising-at first. But Adrian is once again disappointed. Still, there is the possibility of a career writing cookbooks.

As his true confessions demonstrate, Adrian is making some progress. He is now a single father, and determined to make things good for his three-year-old son. When, to his surprise, he finds that he has another son as well-an updated version of the Master Mole we have come to know and love-he takes responsibility for this boy, too. Adrian Mole remains as neurotic and endearing as ever.

    Adrian Mole stavolta non delude e con un tuffo nel 1991 (quando Bush padre vomitò sull'ambasciatore giapponese) torna a farmi ridere come un tempo. Archiviato il terzo libro che è penoso, questa quarta parte (su 8) del diario di uno dei più illusi scrittori wannabe del panorama letterario è notevole, non tanto per la sua storia, ma per quanto questa entri a fare parte del suo romanzo, ogni volta che qualcuno gli mette i bastoni tra le ruote, Adrian lo fa uccidere virtualmente dal suo alter-ego letterario.
    Ritroviamo la solita Pandora (insopportabile), la cougar madre con il nuovo giovane marito e il padre con la sgallettata di turno. Mi rendo conto che è una saga dello stereotipo, però a me Adrian Mole fa ridere da più di 20 anni e non posso farci niente....
