Started and finished while mum got some bits from whsmiths. Quite entertaining and a nice cameo from Little Miss Busy to please long time fans

Not my favourite Mr Men book. I found the capitalist overtones somewhat disconcerting.

I think the Moral of the story is, Sometimes the Job Your Doing is An Adventure In Itself.

[Eilema]

tandis qu'amélie attendait le train, un lutin facétieux lui tendit ce livre en lui disant "il te ressemble". amélie, portant deux sacs à dos se sentit donc concerné et ouvrit le dit-ouvrage et le lisa.
qu'elle ne fut pas sa surprise, lorsqu'elle prit une claque : excellent ! amélie, atteinte de bougeotte constante, mais relativement broke, se retrouva dans ce petit bonhomme... jusqu'à ce que ce dernier finisse au chômage, car aucun de ses employeurs ne l'appréciait.
jusqu'à ce qu'il devienne pompier. et ça c'est pas ouf. je préférais quand il partait en voyage.
un conseil m. aventure : fait du bénévolat et n'hésite pas à mettre un code sponso worldtraveler #business

Cette série est incroyable. De beaux souvenirs de ma jeunesse et des histoires toujours intressantes. Simple et sans prétention avec une bonne touche d'humour bien placée. Dans celui-ci en plus, un charmant hommage au métier de pompier! Excellent!

Perhaps Mr. Adventure's story is the closest to reality than other Mr. Men characters. He's a true adventurer who gets bored quickly in the obvious routine. Even boredom may strikes him on an ordinary vacation. Unfortunately, he was running out of money. He needed to get a job to save money for his next adventure.

Mr. Adventure started working but he never did it either in the simplest or the easiest way. He did it on his own wild-thrilling-exciting way, causing a lot of mess.

After trying various jobs which were apparently too normal. Finally, Mr. Adventure got another normal job that surprisingly could fulfill his adventurous soul.

Goodreaders, like me, you have surely known characters like Mr. Adventure. Such a risk taker!

For instance:

He wanted the thrill and excitement of an adventure vacation.

He liked to go to places that would make your hair stand on end.

Wait until you find out what Mr. Adventure did to make his staycation this year "interesting."

Once again, amazing artist-author-adventurer Roger Hargreaves has made me roar with surprised laughter. And I just loved the ending.

FIVE STARS, indeed.

Wow wow wow. Such an incredible story about achieving what you wish. This story captivated me the whole way through, and, honestly, this is one of my favorite books of the year so far (after I’m Thinking of Ending Things by Iain Reid, of course).

There is nothing like a good moral story in a book.

Loved it.

I wish I could rate it ten stars.
















This review is satire.

I really felt Mr Adventure was my soulmate. Until I read the last page. Wtf?! I now skip the last page when I read the book to my son; and instead make up my own ending.

[Les Wilson · Rating 4 out of 5]

[Izzy · Rating 2 out of 5]

Trying to reach my reading goal. Mr adventure was a little one dimensional.
