About this listen

 Adrian Mole is 34 and three quarters, almost officially middle-aged, when Mr. Blair tells Parliament that Weapons of Mass Destruction can be deployed in 45 minutes and can reach Cyprus. Adrian is worried that he might not get a refund on his holiday. But that's not all that is bothering him. There's his odd girlfriend Marigold who has become distressingly New Age. And his son Glenn who is in Deepcut Barracks. Would Mr. Blair have been quite so keen if it had been his son manning a roadblock?©2004 Lily Broadway Productions (P)2007 W F Howes Ltd Family Life Genre Fiction Literature & Fiction Fiction Funny Witty Feel-Good Comedy

Time and again to enjoy the Adrian Mole stories. Really recommend this audio book. Very enriching experience.

Classic

I thought it was just me but other reviews say the same, the file is corrupt, about half way through you jump back to the beginning.

Something wrong with the file

The book is really good Sue Towsend continues to set the tone of the nation at the time through Adrian who completely misses the mark with his family and friends. It’s another for the fans of Adrian and for those who grew up with him. The main issue with this Audible from chapter 7 to chapter 12 repeats earlier chapters. Quite poor considering this is not a free book.

Poor editing

What did you like most about Adrian Mole and the Weapons of Mass Destruction?

I enjoyed the humour and also how the book used actual real events to mark it in time.

What did you like best about this story?

I like the diary aspect and how some comments were short and were left to the imagination while others went into detailed humourous explanations.I also enjoyed the characters although Adrian Mole irritated me lots of times due to his spineless attitude.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

The scene I found the most interesting but excrutiating was when Netta Flowers invited Adrian and her family to discuss whether she was to have and open marriage with new partner or cut herself away from Michael.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I had lots of different emotions: laughter, anguish and irritation with Adrian Mole for not having a spine.

Larger than life characters you will love or hate.

File is broken, repeats at the end of chapter 6 - but just go to chapter 12 and it picks up again :)

Fab as usual! Chapter fix…

If you are young enough to remember the original diaries then this will be a wonderful reminder of your younger days. Funny, thought provoking

Wonderful

I’ve grown up reading these books. Absolutely wonderful. Good narration and the kind of books one can listen to over and over

Love love love mole

I've read all the Mole books now. He was part of my youth and now follows me into my thirties.
Townsend has created a monster, but one with whom you constantly feel for, cringe when he blunders, and smile when he shows his deep naivety .

Hoorah!

This book is pure genius. This is Townsend at her witty best. Much more range of topics covered and rightly so with Moley’s take on them.
The poor reviews are for the chapters that it mistakenly repeats but you just skip to the next chapter and move on.
Do not miss out on listening to this and the exquisite narration.

The best so far! Best narration yet!
