The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Audiobook (Unabridged)

" My mum had read this as a kid and said she had enjoyed it so she got me to read it too . I liked this book , it had a strong sense of humor which is my favourite category of book , it also was written in a diary style which i really enjoy . It used simple grammar so it was really easy to read and follow . It was like you were in the head of an adolescent boy . The only thing I did nto enjoy the book was the beggining , I was not gripped to read it , but fortuneately i pushed myself to complete the story. I would reccomend this book for children aged 10-15 as it is rather simple language and as it is written in the perspective of a 13 year old boy , it would be easier for younger teens to connect with . This ticks off a book written before you were born on my bingo board . "

" I loved this back in '82 and I can see why. It's still funny, but doesn't make the leap to being a book I want to keep and reread as an adult (unlike other books I loved in my childhood such as those by Edith Nesbit and Arthur Ransome.) That said, it's really a 3.5 star book -- a little above average. I'd still recommend it to 14- to 15-year-olds (I think it might seem a little naive to today's older teenagers), although the setting further limits the appeal. Unless you know a bit about early 80s Britain, culturally and politically, a fair bit is going to pass you by. "

" Very funny. But for boys only! "

" I couldn't relate to this guy, but still he made some sense in a weird way only teenagers could. Maybe I was like him. Who knows? "

" Liked this book but not quite as much as I expected to. Maybe the teen diary genre has just become so ubiquitous that this one doesn't stand out anymore (even though it's one of the originals). The most fun part of the book were the 1980s details (my own teen era). I will likely read more of the series but probably not very soon. "

" The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole is frankly hilarious. Still manages to raise a smile even on rereading. "

" I don't know guys, I read this book when I actually was about 13/14, and it didn't really resonate with me at all. Maybe it is better if you read it as an adult, looking back on those early teen years. That is probably it. "

" I am just a little bit tired of naive narrators... Similar to the disillusionment of Susan Juby's Alice, but less funny. "

" Hilarious, cheers me up anytime. "

" Unexpectedly got recommended this author by my university professor. Let's see! "

" everybody told me this book was going to be amazing and had high expectations when i started. sadly it didn't live up to them. seriously, i don't want to read 300 pages of some one complaining - thats just joy sucking. "

" I related to this far more than any of the coming-of-age books with female protagonists. "

" Adrian Mole series- the funniest books I've ever read. My wife hated this book, because I would wake her up 10 times a night by outbreaks of laughter. 100% worth reading "

" Very funny, light, easy read. Good old Adrain hehe "

" Not my favorite child narrator, but still enjoyable. "

" cute but tough to get my hands on. "

" Still as funny as the first time I read it - love the bit where they go on the school trip! "

" This book is madness, but in a good way. A crazy, fun read! "

" Quite a bit funnier than Anne Frank. "

" This book deals with the problems facing the transition from childhood to the world of a teenager. Poor old Adrian,a main character that in some cases you sypmathize with, and at other times you throw your hands in the air and laugh in despair at his actions. "

" In the words of Adrian himself, it's dead good. "

" My mom bought these books for my brother and I ended up reading them. Loved them as a kid. "

" It's because of Adrian that I have realistic expectations in men. "

" Love these books. Oh Adrian... "
