5.0 out of 5 stars Adrian mole 8 Dec 2003
By J
Format:Audio CD
The secret diary Adrian mole is the ultimate teen male book. It includes teen issues that may be humorous to read about or may help in everyday life. These issues include bullying, peer pressure, caring for the elderly, first love, and struggles in life all the time his dysfunctional is falling apart. You really get a sense of knowing Adrian from his likes and dislikes and the diary form explains things straight to the point instead of going on for half the day about what a person looks like of how exactly Adrian does something.
Adrian is an average boy from a poorer background. He decides to become “an intellectual” and starts to write poetry. He falls in love with a richer girl called Pandora and after going out with his best friend finally goes out with him. He gets a paper round to impress Pandora and get a bit of extra cash. He joins a group called the good Samaritans and looks after an old man called Bert and his dog sabre. The first in the series I feel it is the best.
It’s the sort of book that you literally have to be prised away from. I would recommend this book to everybody with a sense of humour any teen or grown man trying to relocate his youth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great fun and very nostalgic 25 Jan 2001
By Kevin
Format:Hardcover
I was 12 3/4 when I first read this book, soon after it was first published. I wondered what all the fuss was about as I didn't find it funny at all. That's because I was just as naive as Adrian Mole. A couple of years later I read it again and found it much funnier. Then, a couple of years later, funnier still. Adults growing up in the eighties will love this for the references (Falklands, Thatcher, Hitler diaries etc) but the teenage angst is timeless. My original is now much dog-eared, selotaped and, yes, loved. Buy the Growing Pains as well, it is equally as good. I must go now and update my Norwegian Leather Industry chart...

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely stands the test of time 16 Dec 2011
By S. Smith VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback|Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
I first read this book when I was ten years old and absolutely loved it so when I was given the chance to read it again coming up twenty years later I was excited and nervous at the same time. I didn't want my rose tinted thoughts shattered. I needn't have worried. Instead of thinking "oh god, is this what I've got to look forward to", the diary style of writing opens you up to memories of what you used to do instead. It's still laugh out loud funny but for the reasons of fond remembrance of your own youth and school life and relating to being in similar stupid situations yourself. The account of the school trip is priceless. Great observational comedy in diary form. Timeless.
