Marking this as complete as it's going to be. I was reading it with my daughter but she's gone on a huge YA reading frenzy now and I don't think we'll finish this. He's a lot funnier as a teenager than as a slightly creepy older guy anyway.

Adrian mole keeps me facinated. I have to laugh out loud, look at the pages like I see something burning and I am weirded out at times. Great story again!

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....

Adrian is such a pratt. An entertaining pratt, but a pratt nonetheless.
