Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Teen angst has never been such serious business--or this much fun! In his secret diary, British teen Adrian Mole excruciatingly details every morsel of his turbulent adolescence. Mixed in with daily reports about the zit sprouting on his chin are heartrending passages about his parents' chaotic marriage. Adrian sees all, and he has something to say about everything. Delightfully self-centered, Adrian is the sort of teen who could rule a much better world--if only his crazy relatives and classmates would get out of his way. The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole is a riot, and--although written more than 15 years ago--there is something deliciously timeless about Adrian's angst. --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.


Product Description

Adrian Mole's first love, Pandora, has left him; a neighbor, Mr. Lucas, appears to be seducing his mother (and what does that mean for his father?); the BBC refuses to publish his poetry; and his dog swallowed the tree off the Christmas cake. "Why" indeed.

5.0 out of 5 stars You will laugh out loud, April 25, 2000
By Jennifer Sawyer-Byrne (Indianapolis, IN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, Aged 13 3/4 (Mass Market Paperback)
Fabulously entertaining! I read the first of the series, cover-to-cover in one afternoon then left to buy up the rest of the series and read them one after another. I can't get enough of the Moles! This book has such wit. I was truly upset to get to the end and wanted to just read through the series again. At first, the book's flavor reminded me of Owen from "A Prayer for Owen Meany" by John Irving -- (I ADORED that book) -- but as I read on, the books by Townsend are even better! NOT JUST FOR TEENAGERS! (In fact, much of the humor would be lost on them, I think.) The diaries are full of entries that will make you laugh out loud. I can't imagine anyone not liking this collection. I cerainly wouldn't want them as friends! BUY THIS BOOK NOW!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious!!!!, March 19, 2006
By Katrina Elizabeth "Kat" (Van Alstyne. Texas) - See all my reviews
**Warning Spoilers**

Adrian Mole is a gifted 13-year-old boy living in England in the early 80s.
In this book Adrian tells the story about his "horrible" home life, his crush Pandora, his parent's split, trouble at school, his new eighty-year-old friend Bert, his acne problem, the Royal Wedding, and numerous other events. Even the most normal events turn tragic when Adrian and his family are involved.
Adrian reminds me of a Woody Allen movie. It's brilliantly funny and I recommend it to anyone.
