Summary: Hilarious, and yet strangely bizarre...
Comment: If you've never read any of the Adrian Mole diaries, I'd recommend reading the previous books in the series (starting with "The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole aged 13 3/4" before starting on this one. To those that do know the series well, "The Cappucino Years" still doesn't fail to live up to expectations.
Adrian Mole, previously an acne-ridden teenager with hormones running rampant, is now faced with the reality of divorce, single parenthood, parents that are slowing crumbling, and eeking out an existance as Head Chef in a trendy Soho restaurant under an alcoholic, womanising employer. He is still in love with Pandora Braithwaite (his first teenage love) despite all the years and all the dramas, and fails really to see that the love will always be unrequited.
Despite all this, Adrian always sees himself as "an intellectual", and sees himself as somewhat above everyone else in his life (except Pandora), but fails to have any insight on even the most simple commonsense things. It's his lack of insight combined with his need to be "intellectual" that lead to some hilarious passages.
This book seems to have a far more exaggerated plot than the previous books, with far greater highs and far greater lows, and sometimes may appear contrived. Nonetheless, it still makes for a very funny read.
If you have read everything else in the Adrian Mole series, don't miss this one!

Summary: Adrian Mole.. he's 30 1/4 with the mentality of a 15 yr old.
Comment: Never read this book without reading the first few books. If not, you can't exactly get he's going through. His family's dysfunctional than ever, with a depressed dad, a desperate mum, and a loud-mouth sister half his age. The wit and humor is like that of the first book (Secret Diary Of Adrian Mole, Aged 13 3/4). He still has the teenage mentality even though he's 30 and has children. I found myself laughing with him. Least he doesn't sign his letters with "A. Mole" anymore, instead it's "A.A. Mole".

Summary: Adrian Grows Up
Comment: A fitting tribute to Aidrian age 30. Absolutely hilarious. Adrian has physically matured and has managed to father two children but is still grappling with the same issues he did when he was 13 and 3/4. His family are as dysfunctional as ever and his yearning passion for the gorgeous Pandora has been excacerbated by the fact that she is now the new labour candidate for Ashby De La Zouch in Leics.
A definite must for all Adrian Mole fans - Can Adrian overcome his fears and trepidations and make his sons proud of him?
