I enjoyed this second book in this series. Adrian is a character...lol. The author has a way of describing Adrian's life that makes you laugh out loud. I am really enjoying this series. Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the ARC of this book in return for my honest review. Cannot wait to read part 3!!!

Adrian Mole is now 16 and still suffering from adolescence. All the characters you fondly remember from the first book are present, and he gets a few more.

This is full of humorous observations on life, all through the clouded vision of a typical teenager in 1980s England. From the <i>non sequiturs</i> to the realistic portrayals (everyone will recognize at least one character or "type" from their own lives) and school angst, it's side-splittingly funny. And I think it's completely fair when he says he doesn't know a single sane adult - from his viewpoint it's very true!

His idea of "vital equipment" is hilarious, and the desperate need for attention quite pitiful. He tries so hard but never gets it, whatever "it" is.

(Although I have the complete set, I'm having to take a break before reading the next, because otherwise I wouldn't appreciate them as much.)

The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole

I am reviewing a copy of The Growing Pains Of Adrian Mole through Open Road Integrated Media and Netgalley:

Adrian Mole is a fifteen year old sensitive poet, of the Midlands. He still has a crush on Pandora, and feels it is difficult to grow up around inferiors. His Mother is pregnant and experiencing morning sickness.

Adrian’s hormones are like a whirlpool. He grows weary of his parents arguing and fighting and runs away staying on the streets until his parents get him, and the doctors diagnose him as depressed.

I give The Growing Pains Of Adrian Mole four out of five stars!

Happy Reading!
