Oh Adrian. You are every bit as funny at 15-1/2 as you were at 13-3/4.


Here are just a few samples of Adrian's diary:

Sunday May 9th
Mother's Day (USA & Canada)
I have just realized that I have never seen a dead body or a real female nipple. This is what comes of living in a cul-de-sac.

Friday August 6th
Sent Pandora a postcard:
Dear Pan,
The sun came out on Wednesday, but it didn't reach into the black despair caused by our separation. It is a cultural desert here.
Thank God I have brought my Nevile Shute books.
Yours unto infinity,
Adrian X

Friday January 14th
Must go see how Bert is getting on. I wish I'd never got involved with him; he is like an Ancient Mariner around my neck.

And the last gem:
Thursday February 3rd
During the month of March 1982 it would seem that both my parents were carrying on clandestine relationships. Yet my diary for that period records my childhood fourteen year old thoughts and preoccupations.
I wonder, did Jack the Ripper's wife innocently write:
10:30 pm: Jack late home. Perhaps he is kept late at the office.
12:10 a.m.: Jack home covered in blood; an offal cart knocked him down.

Pandora is standing by me at this time of crisis. She is a true pillar of salt.

Just.... no....No No No No No No No No No NoNo No No No NoNo No No No NoNo Noo No NoNo No No No No no

Saw this in a used book store and just had to buy it, especially as it had the same cover as our original childhood version! Man, what is there not to love about Adrian Mole? Reading it as an adult I was definitely better equipped to understand all the jokes. It's also a really interesting look at 1980's England, definitely not something that interested me as a young'un. Poor Adrian and his struggles to be a literary intellectual.... too funny. I can't wait until enough years pass so that I can

Adrian Mole grew on me. I cannot describe this book (and the series in general) more perfectly than New York Times did: The Adrian Mole Diaries is "as sad and devastating as it is laugh-out-loud funny!"Oh, and I LOVE the audiobook narration by Nicholas Barnes!

another great ready, again very funny and easy to readi think we can all see some of our younger selves in adrian

Please see my detailed review at Amazon Graceann's "Growing Pains of Adrian Mole" Review"Second entry in the hilarious Adrian Mole series. He's coming up on age 16 now, and still as angst-ridden as he was in the first book. This is so accurate. I'm not SO far away from my own teen years that I'm not able to recognize the behavior as my own at that time. Very witty and all the more surprising as it comes from an adult woman writing about the feelings of a teenage boy. Genius. My only caveat is

This just popped up and I definatley read this as a young teenager

Just as wonderful as the first. Actually made me laugh out loud at seceral points, which is something not many books manage to do.
