A return to form for Sue Townsend and one of my favourites of the Mole series. The backdrop of the Iraq war and the arc of Adrian going from supporter to understanding that his son is fighting in a senseless war is as funny and moving as I'd expect from an Adrian Mole book. The debt storyline is very of the time, when we were all having credit far beyond our earnings thrown at us by lenders. Adrian's relationship with his boss Mr Carlton-Hayes is lovely. Pandora, Tania and Rosie make less of an appearance than usual but Pauline and George are as funny and dysfunctional as ever.
