From Publishers Weekly

This fifth installment of Adrian Mole's diary (The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 3/4; Adrian Mole: The Cappuccino Years, etc.) breaks new ground with its concern for current affairs and its sympathetic treatment of not-always-exemplary characters. Adrian, as usual, is struggling with various relationships and with constant financial problems, always trying to do the right thing, but usually giving in to his baser urges, in love and in spending. He becomes accidentally engaged to dollhouse-building homebody Marigold while spending flirtatious evenings with childhood love Pandora; fires off missives to the likes of Tony Blair and Tim Henman; and works, genuinely, to be a good father, friend and ex-husband to a cast of often bizarre but always human characters. Townsend, author of numerous non-Adrian novels, plays and nonfiction, makes Adrian's adult disorientation palpable as he tries to figure out how he went from hosting a popular television show to working in a failing second-hand bookshop, and copes with the shock of seeing childhood bullies make good and childhood dreams go awry. Arguments about the war figure prominently: one of Adrian's sons is sent to Iraq; his best friend, Robert, is there, too. Adrian's reactions to the war are complex, funny and wrenching. By the time the diary breaks off (on Sunday, July 22, 2004), things are looking up for Adrian and a bridesmaid—and he is considering (to her consternation) writing an autobiography. (Dec.)

From Booklist

In the Adrian Mole diaries, Townsend has brought her hero from teenage angst to single parenthood, brief television stardom, and near bankruptcy. In the sixth installment, Adrian is 34 but still not connecting with life's realities. He has cancelled a holiday in Cyprus because of Tony Blair's warnings that Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction could target the island in 45 minutes, but his travel agent won't refund his 57.10 deposit until evidence of the WMDs is put forward. So, Adrian writes a letter to Mr. Blair requesting such proof. He buys a ridiculous flat, complete with rats and marauding swans, with a down payment from his credit card. He gets involved with a disturbed young woman, whose family is only too happy to have him take her off their hands. And his parents have sold their home and bought a pigsty, literally, with a plan to renovate and live the country high life. Through it all, Townsend treats the serious issues seriously, but the rest is just pure fun. Elizabeth Dickie

5.0étoiles sur 5 still neurotic at the age of 34 3/4., Janv. 18 2006
Par louise (vancouver, canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Adrian Mole And The Weapons Of Mass Destruction (Paperback)
It's good to know that some people never change, even if they are self-obsessed 'intellectuals' like Adrian Mole. I have been reading the Adrian Mole books since I was 13 and now at the age of 25 I still make sure I read them all once a year. They are the funniest books I have ever read and the Weapons of Mass Destruction is no different.
With the introduction of new characters and ofcourse the same old ones we love, Sue Townsend takes us through another year or so of Adrians life worrying about money, flaky fiances, war and ofcourse his family. It made me laugh out loud and wonder how I could LOVE someone in a book so much, when he would be perhaps the most horrible person in real life!

4.0étoiles sur 5 Welcome back, Moley, Jui 1 2005
Par Un client
This review is from: Adrian Mole And The Weapons Of Mass Destruction (Hardcover)
Oh dear, he's back. I tried to read this slowly, but couldn't resist zipping through it, as it's another excellent work from Sue Townsend. Am consistently torn between feeling sorry for Adrian and wanting to shake him into the latter half of the twentieth century, as he isn't quite ready for 2004 (when the book ends). I think the appeal of these books, which so many readers have grown older with, is that there's a little of Adrian in all of us - uncomfortable, isn't it - but there is also that caring, aware side, too. It's rare, but it's there.
Sue Townsend rarely shies away from real problems, and the sad turn of events in this book is written gently, but with enough emotion to make readers remember that fiction isn't always an escape from reality.
A well-written book and an excellent read; I hope it's not the end of Adrian's diaries. Who'd want to read about such a man? Plenty of us, that's who.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Wonderful . . . . as always, Mars 27 2005
Par David Brooks (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Adrian Mole And The Weapons Of Mass Destruction (Hardcover)
It's been about ten years since I read the first Adrian Mole book and I was hooked. Sue Townsend, throughout the Adrian Mole series, has created one of the most interesting, entertaining and strangely lovable characters around.

Adrian has a good heart, but lives entirely in his own world-a strange bubble in which he's oblivious to the feelings of those around him. Adrian Mole isn't callous, he's just . . . . . . . Adrian. Townsend's tales are hilarious and heartbreaking, laugh out loud funny and, in the case of the new Weapons of Mass Destruction book, profoundly sad.

It's been four years since Sue Townsend's last Adrian Mole book (The Cappuccino Years) and when I picked up this latest in the series I remembered Adrian and the usual cast of characters, but at the same time I thought "It's been a while since I've read Adrian's unique musings. I hope it all clicks back into place again." I didn't need to worry. Within two pages I was laughing and shaking my head. Poor, unlucky, hilarious, oblivious Adrian. It was like meeting up again with an old friend.

I can't recommend the Adrian Mole books highly enough. And Sue Townsend's latest Adrian Mole and the Weapons of Mass Destruction ranks among the best in the series. I always laugh at Adrian's ongoing misadventures. And applaud Sue Townsend for yet another brilliant addition to a wonderful series.
