It's been ages since I read the old Mole diaries but they still make me laugh out loud. Adrian is 23 and 3/4 , completely self absorbed, pretentious, annoying, and completely hysterical. Start with his first diary (13 and 3/4) and don't stop until you get to the prostrate years. Sue Townsend, where is our next installment??Having read this book after 17 years from when I finished the previous book brought me back memories of following Adrian Mole as he grew up. He is in his early twenties now and struggling to become an adult, letting go of his past and create a change in his life. I loved it and looking forward to reading the next books.
Lovely, lovely book!Beautifully written, funny, and wise!Townsend really captures the essence of young adulthood and the insecure situations young people in their 20s find themselves. Adrian is hilarious and obnoxious at the same time.
People have said here that they were fascinated and repulsed by the character, and wanted to avoid being like him at all costs. Well guess what, there are people like Adrian Mole out there, and I'm one of them--so close in fact that this book stopped being funny when I realised as I read on that I am becoming exactly like him ... or he is becoming exactly like me. Well, at least until I got to the part where someone called the novel he is working on, Lo! The Flat Hills of My Homeland, a parody.
Far beit from a book I'd normally read, interest was piqued when scanning through the radio dial and falling upon a particularly humorous episode of the audio book on radio 4. Naturally, I had to go back to the beginning and listen to the full thing.From the beginning, it wasn't what I expected. There were times when the main character grated on me and times I thought he was just hilarious. Worryingly, there were also times that the humor was based purely on how he formed his sentences in a way
It has been a few years since I last read an Adrian Mole novel, and this is one I'd missed, which came before Cappuccino Years.This one is set in 1991 and early 1992 and sees Adrian in his early 20s, mostly trying to deal with his love life, sending numerous creepy notes to his childhood sweetheart, Pandora, and attending therapy classes, only to fall in love with his shrink.Another one of the main plot threads involved Adrian Mole's nemesis Barry Kent writing a book that was a thinly-veiled
adrian mole seems to have delusions of grandeur but then he has seen a therapist and she says he's fine. hahaha. so in this book he's 23-25 and he eats a lot of bananas and is so so so stupid i can't even. like bianca obv likes him but he's too dumb to see. oh he's writing a novel and we get to read this masterpiece (hahahahahahahaha). also his family is insane and there's so much drama. he moves to london and is good at chopping vegetables! he also grows a beard. the ending is good though. the
