Meet Adrian Mole, a hapless teenager providing an unabashed, pimples-and-all glimpse into adolescent life. Writing candidly about his parents' marital troubles, the dog, and his life as a tortured poet and 'misunderstood intellectual', Adrian's painfully honest diary is still hilarious and compelling reading thirty years after it first appeared.

Critic reviews

"We laugh both at Mole and with him. A wonderful comic read, that, like all the best comedy, says something rather meaningful." (Heat)

Editor's Pick


If Alan Partridge had a delightful young cousin
"I feel certain that I will die on a hill someday shouting that Adrian Mole is completely underappreciated in this country. In this first diary, young Adrian, who lives in an unremarkable town in the Midlands of England, wrestles with an unrequited crush that he's convinced is actually one of the world's greatest love stories, his parents' complicated—and to him frankly juvenile—marital problems, and an overwhelming sense that he is special; that he and his unique intellect are not (as the kids today say but didn’t in the 80s) 'seen.' With almost every entry bound to make you laugh, I dare anyone to not absolutely adore this kid."
—Emily C., Audible Editor

I read this book forever ago and my mom loves it so much she suggested we read it again. I don’t have time for proper reading so I chose to Audible it and so glad I did. Nicholas Barnes’ performance is absolutely brilliant.

Hilarious

A light enjoyable read to brighten your mood. Loved the unique premise. Good narrator. The Hospital bit dragged on and lost me for a while but Glad i came back to finish the book anyway. Somewhat abrupt ending—What was with that?

Quirky and fun.

Interesting format that was enjoyable. Thought it would be full of irritating teen angst but was straight forward, held my interest and quite funny.

Poignant and funny

i guess it depends on who is listen or reading this book .. do u have kids ... or are you an adult who can appreciate this kind of read ... i found it on Audible ... loved it ... i feel in love with the narrator. Nicholas Barnes. a lot of the time if the narrator rocks ... it really sells the book/audio book for me. great listen ...and when i have time i will read more from Sue soon enough!! love the cover!
