I have no idea how this book came to see the light of day (a wild guess: someone somewhere might have thought that it would be good to publish a random something in between two "regular" books), and I'm not going to search the web to find this out, because I think an average Adrian Mole novel is ...
In this book, I both identified wit the character, and loved to hate him. The book is written in first person, in the form of a diary and tells the story of Adrian Mole, a completely unsuccesful 24 year old, who is horribly analitic and thinks that he's awfully tallented while he is writing the w...
“But the truth was, dear diary, I remembered Animal Farm as being a book simply about animals on a farm” No, the Monthly Book Group had not met to give their informed criticism of George Orwell’s classic; rather the book was “Adrian Mole and the Weapons of Mass Destruction” (2004) and the quote i...
Adrian on the verge of Adulthood26 August 2013tThis continues on with the tradition of the first book that Townsend wrote and follows Adrian's life as he continues to struggle as a teenager in Britain in the 1980s. The series does continue on right up to the Iraq War and it appears that throughou...
I was around 13¾ years of age when I first read this novel, so I only had a couple of vague recollections about it. But I definitely remembered that I liked it, so I re-read it, and I still like it a lot, for many reasons.First of all, I like it because this novel is really laugh-out-loud funny. ...
Adrian’s latest adventure is set in 1997-1998; the longest gap between instalments but coming at an ideal time to read Mr. Mole’s diary. Not only is he now at the landmark age of 30, but this is the year of the New Labour landslide and the death of Princess Diana, among others.As “together” as Ad...
It's not the best Adrian Mole book, but even the worst Mole books are still good. It's slightly disjointed, but I put this down to the fact that it was first serialised in a newspaper before being collected and published as a volume. But this doesn't stop it being a funny read, even if slightly i...
Tko bi rekao da je nekad prištavi 13-3/4-godišnjak Adrian Mole danas na pragu četrdesete? Moram priznati da sam se iznenadio da Townsendica i dalje piše svoju nekadašnju hit-franšizu kad sam je ugledao na kiosku!? Ovo možda nisam očekivao, da Adrian nije ostvario nijednu svoju mladenačku (spisate...
I can't deny I've been putting off finishing this one for a while now. Despite its excruciating romantic plots, "...Mass Destruction" once again left Adrian happy and loved. A few years on and reality has come crashing back in with a strained marriage, stroppy daughter, mooching half-brother, son...
