Story
Finally given the heave-ho by Pandora, Adrian Mole finds himself in the situation of living with the love-of-his-life as she goes about shacking up with other men. Worse, as he slides down the employment ladder, from deskbound civil servant in Oxford to part-time washer-upper in Soho, he finds that critical reception for his epic novel, Lo! The Flat Hills of My Homeland, is not quite as he might have hoped.

Story
Meet Adrian Mole, a hapless teenager providing an unabashed, pimples-and-all glimpse into adolescent life. Writing candidly about his parents' marital troubles, the dog, and his life as a tortured poet and 'misunderstood intellectual', Adrian's painfully honest diary is still hilarious and compelling reading thirty years after it first appeared.

Story
For more than 25 years, David Sedaris has been carving out a unique literary space, virtually creating his own genre. A Sedaris story may seem confessional, but is also highly attuned to the world outside. It opens our eyes to what is at absurd and moving about our daily existence. And it is almost impossible to hear without laughing. Now, for the first time collected in one volume, the author brings us his funniest and most memorable work.

When the festival director picked them up at the airport she asked Mike if he would perform at the storytelling night. She said, "The theme of the stories is jealousy." Jen quipped, "You're jealous of Oona. You should talk about that." And so Mike began sharing some of his darkest and funniest thoughts about the decision to have a child.

Publisher's 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…

This is not a whole book...
Many chapters missing and suddenly after 2h you hear a completely separate story/diary of Sue Townsend read by herself, and then some other random story with new random characters not related to the previous ones at all! I am very disappointed at this and I wish there was another audiobook on audible with the full version of this book that I could purchase

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!

Can't wait to delete it from my player.
The 'Adrian Mole' part was alright, but then quite unexpectedly when it ended, this woman (Ms Townsend, presumably?) bizarrely goes into the most boring (self-indulgent?) monologue about the unlikely events that happened to her on a holiday in Spain, during which she repeatedly (at LEAST a thousand times!) referred to the erstwhile currency as pesAYtas, and apparently encountered every eccentric and pervert in that country: Then, just as I was beginning to lose the will to live, she suddenly switches on a 'little girl' voice and becomes a young Margaret Hilda Thatcher growing up in Grantham). I didn't hear the end of it, and deleting it is at the top of my today's TO DO list!!

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.

Suddenly changes?!
About 2 hours in, you suddenly have diary entry’s from a random woman! When her diary entry’s are done, you have a random girls diary! This is a very strange book. Not a full Adrian mole.

Disappointed not a complete book
Disappointed to discover this book was only HALF an Adrian Mole book and the rest Sue Townsend talking about some stuff from her life. This was not made clear when I purchased the book and I feel very short-changed. Avoid this one if possible.
