Light and diverting, but with real heart. Set in 2003, during the period that Britain invaded Iraq. It was a lot of classic Adrian Mole and his inability to be socially 'normal', but it also included much politics from the time and it reminded me of how angry I am at Tony Blair. I'm impressed the book managed to keep a humourous it but also make poignant points, some quite deeply sad, regarding the war. 3.5 stars.
