Thomas Stroemquist's Reviews > Adrian Mole: The Wilderness Years

I spent most of this book thinking that this must be where I part ways with Mr Mole and I even contemplated DNFing it at a couple of points. Adrian in his early 20s is still a whining narcissist and as this was (sort of) endearing when he was 14, now it's only annoying and makes him a really unlikeable protagonist.

Something happened in the final quarter though and the turn was so radical and reading experience so much better that it basically saved the book for me.
