The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 ¾

Product Information

True Confessions of Adrian Albert Mole” the third novel of the series is set over five years beginning in 1984. Townsend’s comic masterpiece rests on immaculate characterisation, wry observation and genuine compassion. In dealing with political events, a constant plot device is that Adrian makes confident predictions and statements that are known to be wrong by the reader, ranging from belief in the Hitler Diaries to an Iraqi victory in the Gulf War and the existence of their weapons of mass destruction. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the first publication of Sue Townsend's Adrian Mole, Penguin Audiobooks are re-releasing the audiobook edition of The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 3/4 in downloadable audio.

deskbound civil servant in Oxford to part-time washer-upper in Soho; he finds that critical reception for his epic novel; Lo! Separated into four parts - The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 3/4, The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole, The True Confessions of Adrian Mole and Adrian Mole and the Small Amphibians - the quality and tone sort of leaps wildly when you hit the halfway point and finish Growing Pains. Her hugely successful novels include eight Adrian Mole books, The Public Confessions of a Middle-Aged Woman (Aged 55¾), Number Ten, Ghost Children, The Queen and I, Queen Camilla and The Woman Who Went to Bed For a Year, all of which are highly acclaimed bestsellers. The ORIGINAL teenage diarist is back in the second book in Sue Townsend's brilliantly funny, touching and bestselling Adrian Mole series.It is 30 years since Adrian Mole leapt into the national consciousness from the pen of Sue Townsend, and to mark the occasion Penguin are re-issuing all eight volumes of the Mole saga.

Another of his works The Restless Tadpole: an Opus is described by one potential agent as "effete crap". Mole is a fierce critic of prime minister Margaret Thatcher, listing her as one of his worst enemies. And to get out of math class, he agrees to help take care of elderly Bert Baxter and his fierce Alsatian Sabre. The series featured a theme song "Profoundly in Love With Pandora" by Ian Dury and the Blockheads and starred Gian Sammarco as Adrian Mole with Julie Walters playing his mother and Lindsey Stagg as Pandora Braithwaite. He is the type of boy who believes that everyone including the teachers, his parents, and Barry Kent the school bully will one day pay for not being nice to him.I applaud the sentiment, but I must confess that I wish she hadn’t gone down the path she chose; while Adrian’s pursuit of Pandora was always amusing for its hopelessness, his relationship with Daisy appeared to be the true romance of the series, and its collapse was unfortunate.
