About this listen

The troubled teenager continues to struggle valiantly against the slings and arrows of growing up and his own family's attempts to scar him for life. In between the ups and downs of his relationship with the divine Pandora and worrying that his genius is going unrecognized, Adrian Mole chronicles the pains and pleasures of a misspent adolescence.

Critic reviews

"A satire of our times. Very funny indeed." ( Sunday Times)
"We laugh both at Mole and with him. A wonderful comic read, that, like all the best comedy, says something rather meaningful." ( Heat)

This, the second book in the Adrian Mole series of books superbly written by Sue Townsend, is every bit as funny and absorbing as the first. Again, I read this many years ago when I too was a teenager, and it brings back so many fond and awkward memories.

Adrian, is a character you can't help feeling sympathy for, even though at times you can't help but feel he brings a lot of his woes upon himself. But at heart, he is a decent and kind-hearted teenager, trying to find himself in this big world.

Narration by Nicholas Barnes was very good and helped to make this audio experience a pleasant one.

I look forward to the next book in the series.

Every Bit As Good As The First Installment!

Very funny story with an excellent narration by Nicholas Barnes, using just the right tone of voice to portray the attitudes of the young, clueless Adrian Mole.
