The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 3/4 by Sue Townsend

'A satire of our times. Very funny indeed' Sunday Times 'My comfort read. The best diaries ever written - with apologies to Samuel Pepys, Bridget Jones and me' ADAM KAY FEATURED IN 'THE 100 BOOKS THAT SHAPED OUR WORLD' BBC ARTS The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 3/4 is the first book in Sue Townsend's brilliantly funny Adrian Mole series. 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, his life as a tortured poet and 'misunderstood intellectual', Adrian's painfully honest diary is still hilarious and compelling reading thirty years after it first appeared. _________ NOW A MAJOR MUSICAL 'I not only wept, I howled and hooted and had to get up and walk around the room and wipe my eyes so that I could go on reading' Tom Sharpe 'We laugh both at Mole and with him. A wonderful comic read, that, like all the best comedy, says something rather meaningful' Heat
Impeccable comic timing, evergreen comic writingI had more pure reading pleasure than from any other book I read this year -- John Self * The Times *
One of literature's most endearing figures. Mole is an excellent guide for all of us * Observer *
Townsend has held a mirror up to the nation and made us happy to laugh at what we see in it * Sunday Telegraph *
An exquisite social comedy * Daily Telegraph *
A satire of our times. Very funny indeed * Sunday Times *
Marvellous, touching and screamingly funny . . . set to become as much a cult book as The Catcher in the Rye
