The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, Aged 13 3/4 by Sue Townsend

4.0

It is said that the brain isn't fully developed until the age of 25. After reading Adrian Mole's secret diary, I concur. Man, teenagers are whiny, bitchy and so, so dramatic. Adrian is all of that, and also a hypochondriac. That makes for lots of anguish for his parents and lots of fun for us, the readers

The diary was very funny overall, but there were a few high points that made my day. The painting of him on a bridge looking at Nigel drowning. And the french letter. LOL. His mom's "secret" affair with Mr Lucas was equally funny. He was totally clueless, though it was happening under his nose.

The book had quite a few laughs. I'm very anxious to read about an adult Adrian Mole.

PS: On July 11th, he mentions he's fourteen years, five months and nine days old. But that's wrong. He's supposed to be fourteen years, three months and nine days old
