Commentary In Favor Of Books The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole (Adrian Mole #2)
Oh Adrian. You are every bit as funny at 15-1/2 as you were at 13-3/4.Here are just a few samples of Adrian's diary:
Sunday May 9th
Mother's Day (USA & Canada)
I have just realized that I have never seen a dead body or a real female nipple. This is what comes of living in a cul-de-sac.
Friday August 6th
Sent Pandora a postcard:
Dear Pan,
The sun came out on Wednesday, but it didn't reach into the black despair caused by our separation. It is a cultural desert here.
Thank God I have brought my Nevile Shute books.
Yours unto infinity,
Adrian X

Must go see how Bert is getting on. I wish I'd never got involved with him; he is like an Ancient Mariner around my neck.
And the last gem:
Thursday February 3rd
During the month of March 1982 it would seem that both my parents were carrying on clandestine relationships. Yet my diary for that period records my childhood fourteen year old thoughts and preoccupations.
I wonder, did Jack the Ripper's wife innocently write:
10:30 pm: Jack late home. Perhaps he is kept late at the office.
12:10 a.m.: Jack home covered in blood; an offal cart knocked him down.
Pandora is standing by me at this time of crisis. She is a true pillar of salt.

back to youth, a nice surprise by "Blind Date with a Book" from my local book store.Adrian Mole grew on me. I cannot describe this book (and the series in general) more perfectly than New York Times did: The Adrian Mole Diaries is "as sad and devastating as it is laugh-out-loud funny!"Oh, and I LOVE the audiobook narration by Nicholas Barnes!
Adrian Mole has by far been the funniest book series I have read. Growing Pains is the second book, I really enjoyed it. The story was very funny and fast pace as it is written in a diary format and the days are written over a few paragraphs. The ending was with Adrian finishing his O Level exams and getting back a letter from the BBC. I would recommend this book to someone else my age as Adrian has a very out of touch personality which is so unusual it is halarious.

Even after what, 30+ years, after first reading this, I could remember pretty much every word. Must have read this endless times back in the day. It is still so so funny. Found in a second hand bookstore in Seattle and it had to leave with me. I could not stop reading it in the store. Broke my no-buy rule. Necessary!
HAHAHA! So funny! I may have laughed manically several times (in public) and gained worrying looks from observers but I couldn't help it! Seriously, SO FUNNY.
