The Lovereading comment:
This book is a favourite of September 2009 Guest Editor Joanna Nadin:
Reading The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13¾ (at 13 and ¾) was the first time I picked up a book and thought, “Oh My God, that is me! That is how dull my life is.” It still makes me rock with laughter twenty-five years on. Without Adrian, Rachel Riley simply wouldn’t exist, and she certainly wouldn’t be studying politics A level.
The LoveReading Comment:An ‘80s publishing sensation that has never gone out of fashion. It’s almost impossible not to laugh-out-loud at the brilliant dry humour that bubbles out of Sue Townsend’s writing. At thirteen years old, Adrian Mole has more than his fair share of problems - spots, ill-health, parents threatening to divorce, rejection of his poetry and much more - all recorded with brilliant humour in his diary.
Synopsis
The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole aged Thirteen and Three Quarters by Sue TownsendReviews
Adrian Mole, with his spots, his feckless, self-centred, incompetent parents and his yearning for the tantalizing, difficult Pandora is one of the great comic characters. Most teenagers will probably identify with something in his diary entries - if they can get it back from their parents! (Kirkus UK)About The Author
Sue left school at fifteen and started writing immediately. For twenty years nobody knew that Leicester housewife, Mrs Townsend, was a writer. She joined a writers' group at Leicester's Phoenix Theatre and was soon installed as the Writer in Residence there.More books by this author
