Summary: The secret diary of Adrian Mole, Aged 13 3/4
Review: I have just finished this book and I am not too sure if I would recommend it to anyone. It is quite disquisting. I mean I am going on 14 so it isn't so bad for me but 8-11 year olds read it too and it is not appropriate. I am not saying I didn't enjoy it because I did and it was a new experience and quite fun for a change. Still, I have read BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA and loads of Lois Lowry books like NUMBRER THE STARS or FIND A STRANGER SAY GOOD BY or THE GIVER where I am 100% sure to recomend it to anyone.

Summary: Amusing idea, hillarious book
Review: I have decided to write a review as I am a young girl who has just finished reading both the secret diary and the grwoing pains and I think it would be useful to other children to see a review from their generations point of view...This book is hillarious, I could not put it down and I am actually currently reading the next one in line. I am 11 but I am quite an advanced reader and this could suit both advanced readers and more intermediate readers. It made me laugh, it made me cry, it is a moving diary of Adrian's that I am personally putting on my reading list for the next year who come into grade 6 as I was chosen to update it. In my library, although we have all the adrian mole diaries, they are never there. It was only out of pure luck i finally (after 2 weeks of hunting) managed to get "The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole" out. When look at the number of stamps that have been manically pressed on the inside to prove that you got the book out I stare in wonder. This copy had only been in the library for 2 months! To sum the whole thingup, it's a great laugh and great fun.

Summary: Dead Symbolic
Review: I picked up the first of these diaries some twelve years ago, probably because it was an easy way to read someone else's diary. I have never been the same since. I have had a long relationship it seems today, with a collection of characters so insane, bizarre and unique that they seem real to me. The other characters that Sue Townsend has created have also hooked me. Whether she is writing as herself, the oh-so-intellectual Mr. Mole, a young Margaret Thatcher, or a fly on the wall at Bukingham Palace, she manages and wonderfully. I often hear it whispered that the author is tiring of these characters and intends to retire. I hope that she never will... I also hope that a hundred years from now, Sue Townsend will be remembered for what she is; one of the most outspoken, daring, hilarious writers ever to come out of Britain, if not one of the most gifted the whole world.

Summary: Adrian Mole is ESSENTIAL reading
Review: If Charles Shultz's saying "Happiness isn't funny" is true, then this book by definition qualifies as hilarious. Adrian Mole isn't just a teenager with typical adolescent angst; he's smack dab in the middle of Thatcher's Britain, on the wrong side of the tracks. His parents are on the skids, he has neither dress sense, social grace, looks, intelligence, nor wit, but believes himself to be intellectual and artistically gifted. Menaced and robbed by skinheads at school on a daily basis, pining for a middle-class girl on the fast-track to the upper class he'd so desperately want to join... he is the absolute metaphor for a latter 20th century England that is no longer on the cutting edge of anything, and, like a teenager realising subconsciously he has no future, dealing with the reality that it will never live up to its past glory or future expectations. Savagely skewering the class system, granola-crunching intellectuals, adolescence, Thatcherism, and life in the Midlands, Sue Townsend has executed a real stroke of brilliance in making Mole so clueless. As the moron he is, he cannot filter nor embellish the truth that goes on around him, but reports it through his own naive eyes. This lets us see, for example, that his best friend is less than sane with a serious identity crisis, without the psychobabble. These are dark, brutal books and could easily be rewritten as black tragedies... much of the humor comes from a sense of "Dei gratia sum quod sum." Yet they are funnier still for being so. If you are British or British-ex-pat or in a British-inspired country like Canada or Australia, you WILL see people you know in these characters. This really is essential reading.
