Adrian Mole: The Cappuccino Years

Adrian Mole, Book 5

By: Sue Townsend

Narrated by: Adrian Gray

Celebrate Adrian Mole's 50th Birthday with this new edition of the FIFTH BOOK in his diaries, where Adrian faces divorce, fatherhood and (short-lived) television stardom....

Adrian Mole is thirty, single and a father.

His cooking at a top London restaurant has been equally mocked ('the sausage on my plate could have been a turd') and celebrated (will he be the nation's first celebrity offal chef?)

And the love of his life, Pandora Braithwaite, is too busy as the newly elected MP for Ashby-de-la-Zouch to notice him.

Frustrated, disappointed, and undersexed, Adrian despairs until a letter from his past changes everything....

'With the Mole books, Townsend has an unrivalled claim to be this country's foremost practising comic novelist' MAIL ON SUNDAY

'Adrian Mole really is a brilliant comic creation. Every sentence is witty and well thought out, and the whole has reverberations beyond itself' THE TIMES

'One of the greatest comic creations. I can't remember a more relentlessly funny book' DAILY MIRROR

'Three cheers for Mole's chaotic, non-achieving, dysfunctional family. We need him' EVENING STANDARD

Miss the narrator from the first book in the series..

Not a bad reader. Just a lot of pauses and breaks in between. Isnt great at doing accents either.

The book itself is great. However there is a lot of "etcetera.. etcetra.. blah blah blah".

Feels lazy.
