This is an auction for ADRIAN MOLE: THE WILDERNESS YEARS, by Sue Townsend.

"I have the most terrible problems with my sex life. It all boils down to the fact that I have no sex life. At least not with another person."

Amazon.com reviews:

"Finally given the heave-ho by Pandora, Adrian Mole finds himself in the unenviable situation of living with the love-of-his-life as she goes about shacking up with other men. Worse, as he slides down the employment ladder, from deskbound civil servant in Oxford to part-time washer-upper in Soho, he finds that critical reception for his epic novel, Lo! The Flat Hills of My Homeland, is not quite as he might have hoped. But Adrian is about to discover that extraordinary and wonderful things may blossom even in the wilderness..."

"FIVE STARS!!! Great sharp wit as always. Sue has done us proud again with this insightful and funny look at this tragic lad's life. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED."

"FIVE STARS! MOLEY YOU ROCK! How I love Adrian. I have a tatty version of all the diaries but for some reason felt moved to buy a whole new set upon Mrs Townsend's death. I just keep returning to him any time I need cheered up. Deceptively cleverly written but so joyously easy to read. Sue, you were a genius."

"FIVE STARS!! Another hilarious book in the Adrian Mole series. This book reverts to the diary format of books one and two. If you've battled through book three and are in two minds over purchasing the fourth, go for it. You will not be disappointed."

"FIVE STARS!!!! I can't recommend this book enough. For anyone who followed him through his teen years, this book effortlessly transports you right back to the fictional universe."
