About
Perhaps when I am famous and my diary is discovered, people will understand the torment of being a 13¾-year-old undiscovered intellectual. Adrian Mole is approaching fourteen, and like all radical intellectuals he must amass his grievances: His acne vulgaris is grotesque; his crush, Pandora, received seventeen Valentine's Day cards; his PE teacher is a sadist; he fears his parents' marriage is over since they no longer smoke together; his dog has gone AWOL; no one appreciates his poetry; and Animal Farm has set him off pork for good. If everyone were as appalled as Adrian Mole, it would be a better world.

Reviews
"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."
Jilly Cooper on The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13¾
"The funniest book of the year."
