Summary
"Friday January 2nd. I felt rotten today. It’s my mother's fault for singing "My Way" at two o clock in the morning at the top of the stairs. Just my luck to have a mother like her. There is a chance my parents could be alcoholics. Next year I could be in a children's home..."
Meet Adrian Mole, a hapless teenager providing an unabashed, pimples-and-all glimpse into adolescent life. Writing candidly about his parents' marital troubles, the dog, and his life as a tortured poet and misunderstood intellectual, Adrian's painfully honest diary is a hilarious and compelling listen.

Still as funny as I remember!!
I remember reading this as a teenager after first seeing the TV show and finding it hilarious and engrossing. Now some 25 years later, I thought I would return to this, and I have to say it is just as good. I like the diary format - it allows the story to flow and of course suits a book told completely in the first person. Sue Townsend really is a funny writer and paints a memorable picture of early 80's England under Thatcher. It brought back a lot of memories for me when growing up.
Narrator was fine but made Adrian Mole sound a bit too whiny at times. I am not sure this was the correct approach and it detracts somewhat from empathising and liking Adrian as much as I did. I will be going through the entire series in the coming months. I hope the later audiobooks are as enjoyable as this one.

Great read
What made the experience of listening to The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole the most enjoyable?
I read the book years ago and loved it and listening to it did not disappoint me me either. I could picture the characters from the narration and laughed out loud in places. A great yarn - very funny. It will encourage me to read and listen to the follow on books. I usually like crime but this was a great distraction and feel good book.
What other book might you compare The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole to, and why?
n/a
What about Nicholas Barnes’s performance did you like?
I thought he sounded like Adrian Mole should sound. I was totally engaged and thoroughly enjoyed his performance.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
i swung between laughing out loud and also feeling very sorry for young mastrer Mole. T o be that age again and think those silly thoughts would not be my wish. Loved the characters.
Any additional comments?
This book would appeal to all ages as we have all been that age and been tortured with some of the same issues as Adrian
