Only Tom Sharpe can compete with our Adrian and his unique and unforgettable universe. Go ahead, laugh out loud. Don't be shy.

Gone right off Adrian

July 9, 2011

Format: Hardcover

A family friend gave this book to me a few years back, and I finally got around to reading it. The first two books, "The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, Aged 13 3/4" and "The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole", were funny and enjoyable. Adrian and his relations were well-defined and began to feel like old friends as I read through these sections. And then I got to around page 400 of this book, where the third volume, "The True Confessions of Adrian Albert Mole", began.
What on earth happened?
I was surprised by Adrian's transformation from an empathetic, if pompous, wannabe intellectual to a pretentious and incredibly irritating adult. Are we really supposed to believe that, in the space of four or five years, Adrian's writing doesn't improve at all, when we watched it grow for the two years documented by the first two books? Are we supposed to believe that Adrian, who previously showed some sympathy to the lower classes of British society, suddenly comes to resent them? And what in the world is up with the one chapter where he suddenly develops an obsession with Sarah Ferguson? Even the structure was jarring; the shift from daily diary entries to occasional check-ins across a five-year period meant that the reader had to make a lot of assumptions as to what the characters had been up to in the intervening time. All this, combined with multiple errors in continuity and typography, left an extremely bad taste in my mouth. If you do purchase this book, do not read past the second volume or risk severe disappointment.

From the point of view of a boy... Then a man...

July 18, 2000

Format: Hardcover

This is actually the diary of Adrian Mole, an awkward teenager, who lived the life of a normal teenager. He had a crush on a pretty girl, hated his dog sometimes, had parents who squabble now and then... The diary was written from the view of Adrian Mole. You could see that the writing style change as he grew and matured. I really admired how Sue Townsend can see things from the view of a young boy and a young man. Nice work! Pretty funny too!

If only I could have read this when I was a teenager!

November 29, 1997

Format: Hardcover

As a Chinese girl growing up in the capital city Beijing, I felt a lot of the things Adrian feels -- but I would never have said or written them! When I was a kid, you just didn't talk to grownups like that. This is a funny book, but the humor is a bit black at times, and very moving. No doubt about it: Sue Townsend hasn't forgotten one iota what it means to be a teenager. P.S. I love Adrian's dog too!

I didn't put this book down once...

August 13, 2001

Format: Hardcover

This is the first book I read from cover to cver without being forced to by some teacher or other adult... interestingly enough I got it a week ago at Indigo (this may be a canadian chain... but I pretty sure they own Chapters so I'd assume they'd have it as well)anyway... this intrigues me that no one has been able to find it...
