Can't say I read any of them, but fondly remember the TV drama of Adrian Mole.
I'm....profoundly in love with Pandora....

The books are great, I haven't read them for years. Will download them, because the missus hasn't read them (crazy!)

Have a look at her last one-The woman who went to bed for a year.It's excellent.

Open your mind
The Adrian Mole books are far, far better than any tv series. It was no easier for him after he left school, and there were something in those diaries that everyone can say "Yep, that was me."
A great novellist apart from Moley, too, and her contribution to literature will live on through generation after generation of children as well as the odd discerning adult.

I never read them, I think perhaps that's the beauty of them, they appealed more to boys and got them reading, which is why I can understand perhaps why Mrs Pubey hasn't read them. Girls always had loads of books to choose from but Sue Townsend was one of the first authors of modern times to write things that would appeal more to boys, give them more to identify with at a time when getting boys to admit to liking reading was a major challenge in schools.
Certainly paved the way for other authors. RIP.
