Summary
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.

Moley still has it
This is the second Adrian Mole I have listened to and enjoyed.
Nicholas Barnes really captures A. Mole's pomp and petulance.

Stick with the book it gets better
The book starts in a depressing vein but a quarter of the way through it became a bit more light hearted and became very interesting and funny

A Brilliant Listen
I have grown up reading the Adrian Mole books and adore them. The narrator performed and read this book so well. It has been a pleasure to revisit these again in audio form.

Can’t make up my mind
I adored reading the books when I was younger and was eager to listen to later books on my way to work. To be honest I can’t decide if the narrator is so bored he isn’t interested in what he is doing or brilliant in his portrayal of Adrian Mole. The story is okay but not as funny as earlier books however I was compelled to keep listening.

Fantastic
I wish they used this narrator throughout the whole series. He is Adrian Mole!
Another great book by Sue Townsend. So much love for her. RIP

Love Adrian
Adrian is my fictional boyfriend- his pompousness makes me howl with laughter- love the books and the audio, too. Always cheers me up. Sue Townsend was a literary genius :)

Brilliant reading.
Loved it! Perfect voice for Adrian Mole and as good a reading as I’ve heard in the series. Would definitely recommend.

Fun, but a bit disappointing
Some hilarious moments and it's nice keeping up with the characters, but the books feel gradually less funny to me as they go along. I don't normally buy books on Audible because they're often too pricey for me, and I wouldn't particularly recommend this one except to big fans of the series. Still enjoyed it and I'll probably hunt out the others for a read someday. :)

Still not a complete book
I wanted a complete Adrian Mole collection. Unfortunately this is not it. I will be in touch regarding refund.
