OK, so I didn't finish this. I've read all the others in this series, and Adrian never fails to make me laugh, but he is such a frigging narcissist. Dunno--it doesn't play well at age 30. Then again, I know a few people who would make him look pretty other-centered!

We find him, in this book, working as a chef in an upscale trendy restaurant in London, in spite of not being able to cook. His young son is living with his parents in Leicestershire. He is hired to do a TV show on cooking, at which point I tossed in the towel.

Now this is the best one in the Adrian Mole chronicles. Why? Because it’s just him being a working class single dad taking care of his 2 sons. And for some reason, I find that entertaining

Thought I would give Adrian Mole another go after all these years since the original. Expected little but was really surprised by how good it was. Clever and funny.

Not as good as Adrian Mole and the Weapons of Mass Destruction, but a good laugh all the same.
