Blurb:
Adrian Mole's first love, Pandora, has left him; a neighbor, Mr. Lucas, appears to be seducing his mother (and what does that mean for his father?); the BBC refuses to publish his poetry; and his dog swallowed the tree off the Christmas cake. "Why" indeed.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

Wishlist Surprise for you!
Happy reading!

It's a Total Surprise RABCK Exchange and indeed it was a total surprise what I found in your package for me. Thank you so very much for everything, but especially for this wish list book!! You are being very generous and very thoughtfull, thank you. (Too bad there aren't any other words but 'thank you' and only a few variations...

Reserved for Moriquen as a winner in my "Help me pick my next read-RABCK"

I loved this book and at the same time I did not like it at all. That is a very strange feeling.
I admire the writer for being able to get into the brain of a 13-year old boy and describe his thoughts and feelings so accurately. (At least: I think it is accurate, because a lot of what Adrian says, does and thinks sounds VERY familiar having a 13-year old boy in the house...)

And that just brings me to the point why I did not like it: this Adrian character got me totally crazy by his complaining, whining, nagging, worrying, his 'being an intellectual', his very limited view on the world around him.
I guess that's how a teenages looks at the world, but as an adult it makes me want to poke him, get him on his two feet and put the world right under his nose so he can't NOT see.

That's why the book still got 4 stars: despite Adrian I kept on reading, wanting to find out what would happen next.

This book will be on its way tomorrow to its next reader. Moriquen asked for it in my 'Help me pick my next read'-RABCK.
I'm a bit ahead on schedule: therefore you get your read now instead of in June :-)

Hope you like it and I wish you many hours of reading pleasure!

Haha, I hadn't expected this one at all!! I'm very sure I'm going to enjoy this book, even though (as you said) I might get a little steamed at Adrian if he is a typical teenager. I get enough of those in school anyway! ;) Thanks so much for sending me this book, Totje!

I only just finished the book and I must say that I'm not really that convinced by it. It was funny but quite tiring to read. Adrians constant ramblings don't really have any structure or a real story unfolding, so it is slightly more difficult to read. Adrian himself seems to a typical teenager in many things, higly self-absorbed and contantly bussy with his image. Although I can't help but wondering that when it comes to his home-situation he 'underreacts' a little.

On its way to the winner of the 'You've got mail' Sweepstake. (Sorry it took me a while to send this to you!) I hope you'll enjoy it!

Thanks Moriquen! :) Wow, this book looks very interesting, just like something I'd like to read :D

I desperately need to clear some shelf space! I'm releasing some books into the wild that I hope will find new loving homes <3

Released in the library's shelf in the pop-up park on Södermalm in central Stockholm.
