So after a couple of disappointing installments, this is actually my favourite Mole book thus far. It feels like he's been brought into adulthood, but not in a tedious monotonous way that we saw in the Wilderness Years.
Okay, the celebrity chef part is a little unbelievable. But putting that aside, I really love the soap opera melodrama that his life becomes. Losing jobs, moving back home, trying to be a father, and the peripheral drama of his family and Pandora. It manages to be funny as well as touching, and I remember now why I love Adrian Mole.

A very good installment in the Adrian Mole- series. I especially liked the portrayal of Adrian's relationship to his children, which make him seem "more human" and less arrogant and pedant.

I always feel like I missed something, because between this book and the last one, Adrian seems to have been married AND divorced and now has a child. His high school paramour also claims he's the father of HER child. And of course, he still pines for Pandora.

Before the word simp was invented, Adrian was already practicing the fine and meticulous art of simping, pining away and lusting over Pandora Braithwaite.
Lots of British references, dry humour and of course, the endless misfortunes of Adrian whose life can only be described as funny as "Ofally Good!", the television show in which he stars as a hapless chef making the most out of the disgusting bits. That's his entire life I suppose. He makes the most out of all the awful stuff thrown his way.

Adrian Mole is never a disappointment!
Just like the previous book, 'The Wilderness Years', the personality of the main character provides plenty of humor and wit.

I guess being in your 30s is just boring
