About
Can an adult still have a secret diary? Everyone's favorite angsty adolescent Brit is now a tormented twentysomething. Question: What have I done with my life? Answer: Nothing. At 23¾ years old, Adrian Mole is now an adult and almost prepared. On the upside: He's fallen for a perfectly lovely Nigerian waitress; he's seeing a therapist so as to talk about himself without interruption; and he's added vowels to his experimental novel-in-progress (so much more accessible to the masses!). The downside? Pandora is probably history; a pea-brained rival has been published before him to great acclaim; and worse, Adrian realizes he may not be uncommon after all. In fact, he may fall somewhere within the range of normalcy. How can an intellectual be expected to live with that?

Reviews
"Adrian Mole is the truth behind the dream we shared when we read The Catcher in the Rye and discovered that we were all Holden Caulfields. A phenomenon!"
The Washington Post
"Part Woody Allen, part a kindred spirit to the heroes of Philip Roth's early novellas, Adrian inspires a rare warmth and affection. . . . As sad and devastating as it is laugh-out-loud funny . . . A delight!"
The New York Times
"Screamingly funny. . . Set to become as much a cult book as The Catcher in the Rye."
