Sunday 1st July
NO SMOKING DAY.A momentous day! Smoking in a public place or place of work is forbidden in England. Though if you are a prisoner, an MP or a member of the Royal Family you are exempt.
Adrian Mole is thirty-nine and a quarter. He lives in the country in a semi-detached converted pigsty with his wife Daisy and their daughter. His parents George and Pauline live in the adjoining pigsty. But all is not well.
The secondhand bookshop in which Adrian works is threatened with closure. The spark has fizzled out of his marriage. His mother is threatening to write her autobiography (A Girl Called Shit). And Adrian's nightly trips to the lavatory have become alarmingly frequent . . .
This laugh-out-loud final chapter in Adrian's story will have you hooked from the first page as you discover what he gets up to next.

Recenzii
Sue
Townsend
was
simply
one
of
the
funniest
writes
who
ever
wore
socks,
and
her
Adrian
Mole
series
is
asatirical
gemthat
follows
her
hapless
protagonist
from
adolescence
to
middle
age,revealing
some
sharp
home
truths
about
British
society
in
the
process.At
thirty-nine
and
a
half,
Adrian
is
convinced
he's
too
young
to
have
prostrate
problems.
He's
wrong.If
anyone
can
shake
a
comic
first
at
cancer,
it's
Townsend.
Couldn't be funnier
An exquisite social comedy
In this book the comedy is all the sharper, and more poignant, for its melancholy contrasts, the emotional danger and the sense that time is always running out.
Sue Townsend has always had an unflinching sense of humour - the more incongruously awful the situation, the more she can make us laugh...this is a seriously lovely book.
Like Evelyn Waugh's Captain Grimes, Adrian is 'one of the immortals' and the series of his diaries the comic masterpiece of our time
This hilarious and poignant tale of Adrian Mole's early middle age reaffirms that Sue Townsend has created 'one of the great comic characters of our time'
