Great series.,

This review is from: Adrian Mole: The Wilderness Years (Paperback)
Firstly I wanted to clarify for people that might want to know, exactly how this series runs. I have bought and read all the books in the Adrian Mole series and I was dissappointed not to find anywhere to tell me which ones to get. So as a result I have them all.
US Versions The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 3/4 The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole Adrian Mole: The Lost Years Adrian Mole: The Cappuccino Years Adrian Mole and the Weapons of Mass Destruction British Versions The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 3/4 The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole True Confessions of Adrian Albert Mole Adrian Mole: From Minor To Major Adrian Mole: The Wilderness Years Adrian Mole: The Cappuccino Years Adrian Mole and the Weapons of Mass Destruction So, as for the review these books are great. I love the entire series and I just couldn't stop reading them all the way to the end. The one thing I might suggest is to keep in mind that with most series of books the first is always the best, which is probably the case here too, but if you like it and are a fan of Adrian Mole, there is no reason why you wouldn't want to read the rest. I like the fact that is it written in diary form for easy reading and it is very clever how the story is told from the point of view of Adrian himself but you can see things about his life that he cannot. Overall an excellent read for all ages from teen to adult.

A disapointment,
By A Customer
This review is from: Adrian Mole: the Wilderness Years (Hardcover)
I loved the other Mole Diaries but i found the wilderness years to be depressing. Adrian is pathetic and no longer so witty.

A good book, but lacking the usual something.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Adrian Mole: the Wilderness Years (Hardcover)
Adrian Mole: The Wilderness Years is a good book but it seems to have lost the underlying realism of the earlier diaries. The humour just dosen't seem quite as good and Adrian just does too badly. Having said that he has to grow up and the book is very much an Adrian Mole diary. If you are addicted to the previous diaries then I would definetly buy this book.
