Sunday July 18th. My father announced at breakfast that he is going to have a vasectomy. I pushed my sausages away untouched....
In this second instalment of teenager Adrian Mole's diaries, the Mole family is in crisis and the country is beating the drum of war. While his parents have reconciled after both embarked on disastrous affairs, Adrian is shocked to learn of his mother's pregnancy. And even though at the mercy of his rampant hormones and the fickle whims of the divine Pandora, a victim of a broken home and his own tortured (though unrecognised) genius, Adrian continues valiantly to chronicle the pains and pleasures of a misspent adolescence.

"Utterly hilarious and fairly inappropriate, not to mention delightfully British. I was especially fond of the glossary he kindly put in the back, explaining all those mysterious British words. And, of course, Adrian's fixation on his *ahem* size." — Chelsea (4 out of 5 stars)

" a high-school favorite but i tried to read the newest one and couldn't get through a chapter! "
" the best diary of all..started reading because of Sue Townsend "
" The book of TABOO back in my teenage years. I actullay hide this book when I was reading this back then...it contained rude words! It was the girls secret look into a boys daily life. Funny too :) "
" I thought this book was hilarious. I found myself laughing out loud -- something I do NOT usually do. I've tried to read the sequels and found them lacking, but I thought this one was terrific. Very entertaining. "
" Hilarious. Don't plan on going to bed on time if you pick up this one. "
" I don't remember this so well really, and have even forgotten which part made me laugh so hard that I peed in my pants. It could be that the peeing was pretty much continuous. I know the laughter was. "
" Everyone in England asked if I'd read these whenever Cringe came up, and I wish I hadn't waited so long. I have to read the rest now, I loved this. Thank you, Zan! "
" both novels very funny and a great read the antics that the characters get up to are very funny yet show the reader there is always a serious side "
" I read these booka as a kid and they always cracked me up. Made me glad my life was much more stable and I was not so neurotic. "
" great book for teens. nice little insight "
" This probably isn't a book I would normally choose. I occasionally became frustrated with the character of Adrian, but these are his diaries so of course they're self-absorbed. I thought it was funny how unaware he was of the normal occurrences during the teenage years. "
" I found this mildly amusing -- good, light reading on Metro, but ultimately it wasn't funny enough to recommend to others. "
" I read this when I was a teenager and I remember thinking it was hysterically funny. Not so much now, although it was readable and there were some amusing parts. I think I just didn't like that there wasn't a plot arc; the book just had one diary entry after another and it ended rather abruptly. "
" I didn't find this book that interesting, but it was funny in parts. I've just read a lot like it already... "
" The best part about this book is what the reader understands that Adrian just has no clue about. He'll talk about something he clearly misunderstands, and it makes it all the funnier. "
" Overall I liked the first tow books in this series. It takes a while to get into the diary entry style to advance the story, but it is very funny. I am not sure if I will continue with the rest of the books, but I enjoyed this edition. "
" A sort of Bridget Jones's Diary for the younger set, it takes place in late 80s London and is at times hysterically funny and at times pitiful. Good for a long plane ride, but not something you'll find yourself reading again and again. "
" Funny journal entries of a would-be-lover and member of a dysfunctional family. "
