Summary
Adrian Mole is an adult. At least that's what it says on his passport. But living at home, clinging to his threadbare cuddly rabbit 'Pinky', working as a paper pusher for the DoE and pining for the love of his life, Pandora, has proved to him that adulthood isn't quite what he expected. Still, without the dilemmas of modern life what would an intellectual poet have to write about…

Disappointed
Ends very abruptly. Contains only half an Adrian Mole story, the rest are separate stories...

Very odd
Sort of half a book of disjointed timelines. Then dude it starts with the Authors diary, real or imaginary I still don’t know, and then Margaret Thatcher’s diary.
I wasn’t expecting any of that after reading the blurb. I was very confused

Felt disjointed and incomplete - was this a full version of the book?
I felt this audio book jumped around and didn't make much sense. Like sections had been missed out. It also felt quite short and there was a long section at the end about the authors holiday which I found a bit strange and not especially entertaining. I wouldn't bother listening to this again. Shame because I really enjoyed the other Adrian mole books. Not sure whether this is just the book itself or the way it has been made into audio version.

The narrator sounds so bored.
I've read this book a few times. Being unwell I'm listening to it. The narrator just isn't Adrian Mole. Another narrator without a Leicestershire accent
This sucks

The True confessions of Adrian Mole
Having enjoyed my first Adrian Mole book I bought this one to listen to on a cruise. What a mistake. The first part was real Adrian Mole however the second half of the book was the author's Ego Trip to Russia plus a lot of name dropping.
Now do I risk buying other Adrian book

3 Short Stories
The Adrian Mole story is quite short & ends abruptly. Then there is a Diary from Sue Townsend & then Maggie Thatchers schooldays. All very good but I think the cover & description ought to make this clear.

Not all devoted to Adrian Mole!
Having enjoyed the first two installments of Adrian Mole, this, the third in the series left me disappointed as it is not entirely devoted to the main character. Half the audiobook is, but the last two hours comprise of Sue Townsend's own diary, plus some ramblings from a certain young Margeret Hilda Roberts.
The Adrian Mole part sadly is too short and is not the usual daily diary entries that made the first two books so enjoyably funny. Instead, we are given snapshots into the main events of Adrian's life over a five year period. Though, still hilarious, I felt it would have been a lot better if we did not miss out on large chunks of Adrian's latter teenage years.
The non-Adrian Mole material, though not that bad once you start listening to it, does not sit well here. I am at loss as to why the author chose to include it here! The Sue Townsend piece was quite engaging, and the young Margeret Thatcher parody had some priceless moments, but really both should have been published elsewhere.
Still, the performances from all three narrators were commendable, and helped to make the best of the material here.

What a load rubbish.
The first part was good. Typical Adrian Mole. The rest was some frightfully dull dirge of story about some wretched holiday the author went on. I had to stop it. I didn’t buy this for a self indulgent recounting of Townsend’s holiday. I purchased this to hear of the tales of Adrian Mole. Codswallop!
