The Adrian Mole series is a close-to-the-heart novel, about Adrian passing through the different stages of his life. When we first meet him, he is a troubled, insecure and acne-mad person, as he calls it, a misunderstood intellectual. As he is thirteen and three quarters he is at the beginning stages of adolescent life and his painfully honest diary lets us look into a life of teenage trials, tribulations and angst! In the first book of the series, he has just met the love of his life, Pandora, but will a relationship develop between them? And amongst all these issues, his family is dysfunctional and his parents Pauline and George Mole are working-class characters who drink and smoke a lot. After a long marriage they decide to divorce when George realises that Pauline is having an affair with their recently divorced neighbour Mr Lucas. As Adrian grows during the series he learns and develops into a strong, independent man but does he get the life he wants ? Does he get a close and steady marriage? Well I recommend you to read the series and find out...
