Adrian Mole is middle-aged but still scribbling.

Working as a bookseller and living in Leicester’s Rat Wharf; finding time to write letters of advice to Tim Henman and Tony Blair; locked in mortal combat with a vicious swan called Gielgud; measuring his expanding bald spot; and trying to win-over the voluptuous Daisy . . . Adrian yearns for a better more meaningful world. But he’s not ready to surrender his pen yet…

Extracts

Wednesday April 2nd

My birthday.

Praise for Adrian Mole and The Weapons of Mass Destruction

Hilarious. Deft, gleeful mockery impales modish fads, from home make-overs to new-age crazes, while fiercer irony is trained on the country’s involvement with Iraq

Sunday Times

Richly comic … stuffed full of humour, tragedy, vanity, pathos and, very occasionally, wisdom

Guardian

Completely hilarious, laugh-out-loud, a joy

Daily Mirror

The funniest book of the year. I can think of no more comical read
