From book jacket: Adrian Mole is a worrier. The problems of existence hit him hard. Spots, bits of him that won't seem to keep still, the cracks in his parents' marriage, all prey heavily on his mind. There are some consolations. A 14 year old feminist, an 89 year old chain smoker and his spoilt best friend all help to lift the gloomy introspection of Mole's moods. Mole believes he is an intellectual. He is certainly a poet. He buys strikingly coloured stationery on which to write his poems and send them to the B.B.C. He is dogged by ill health as well as by an infuriatingly ever-present pet dog, and by a catalogue of misfortunes familiar to anyone over the age of 13. ... Sue Townsend's original creation .. [is] a hilarious delight.

Une lecture amusante sur un jeune adolescent anglais qui grandit au fil des livres. Parfois touchant, souvent juste, toujours drôle !
Meh. It felt like being 13-going-on-14 again: in turn earnest, pretentious, self-centered, kind, dull, weird, repeat. So kudos for getting that right, but I wasn't really feeling it.
I am just a little bit tired of naive narrators... Similar to the disillusionment of Susan Juby's Alice, but less funny.
