The Adrian Mole Diaries : The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, Aged 13 3/4 : The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole

Rating:
Summary: Sue Mole
Review: Adrian Mole is not a teenager. He never was. But that doesn't in any way dilute the pleasure of reading his diaries. It's not recommended to read his diaries expecting to find a teenager's mind. Instead, if one looks at it as a grown-up's attempt at rebuilding (his?) adolescence, one would enjoy the precocious scribblings immensely.

Summary: The Diary of the Hypochondriac Nerd
Review: This book is dead brill! A bit dated in parts, but such is life. Adrian, would-be intellectual, full-time hypochondriac, part-time carer to the aged (against his will), and all-around social observer, is a teenager you have probably met. he tries too hard to be himself and in the end is as barmy as a fruitbat. Townsend's style is joyous and rarely hits a sour note; young Master Mole and The Love Of His Life Pandora are marvelous; the Familia Mole (extended and temporary) are insane in a normal kind of way. This book looks at the normal world through the eyes of a child on raging hormones and scattered education who might himself be off his chum by just a tad. Read it and groan all over again over those teenage years of bliss we all weathered...

Summary: THIS WAS A VERY FUNNY BOOK!!
Review: I couldn't put this book down, a great book. POor Adrian though, he somehow doesn't realise how much his life really stinks. A great book!!

Rating:
Summary: Mediocre.
Review: Actually I got a bigger kick from watching the TV-series. The book is just flat and predictable.

Rating:
Summary: An Excellent Book!!!
Review: This is an excellent book. I always love books written in diary format. They become page turners! For more diary and kid angst fun, check out "Youth In Revolt" by C. D. Payne

Rating:
Summary: Insightful and hilarious
Review: The sincere comments of the fictitious Adrian Mole provide keen insights into the world of adolescence, and are, at the same time hilarious. Maybe this is satire, but it is right on the mark.

Rating:
Summary: A masterpiece of British humour
Review: This is one of my all-times favourite. It's as good as anything by David Lodge or Nick Hornby. The look at Thatcher era is acute and deadly funny. Adrian Mole is the universal figure of adolescence. His world is everyone's world but the way he describes it looks like noone else's. Certainly one of the best books to read when you're depressed. Read also the full Mole series (they're all excellent) and "The Queen and I", a hilarious fancy about Royal Family having to go and live in a popular meighborhood.
