Commentary In Favor Of Books True Confessions of Adrian Albert Mole, Margaret Hilda Roberts and Susan Lilian Townsend (Adrian Mole #3)
Adrian Mole has grown up. 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 hoped it would be. Still, intellectual poets can’t always have things their own way … Included here are two other less well-known diarists: Sue Townsend and Margaret Hilda Roberts, a rather ambitious grocer’s daughter from Grantham.Rating Based On Books True Confessions of Adrian Albert Mole, Margaret Hilda Roberts and Susan Lilian Townsend (Adrian Mole #3)

Considering the strength of the first two books, this is a real let down. Having spent over two years intimately aquainted with the daily traumas of tne character, this collection of what is clearly some Mole related stuff , which was never written to be published in one volume, thrown together dissappoints somewhat. Over 88 pages, we get the gist of Adrian's life from aged 16 to early twenties, enough to give you an overview of his life (his first job, splitting with Pandora, his firstThis book was a bit of an odd mish mash and a bit of a letdown.The Adrian Mole segments feel forced and unnatural compared to the previous actual diaries. There are a couple of funny moments, but generally it felt weak. I missed having constant daily updates, and the actual events felt a bit bizarre. And then other points felt like it was being written specifically for an unfamiliar audience, so there would be unnecessary descriptions and comments about his parents, for example. The Susan Lilian
Disappointing to say the least number 4 better be worth my time! Why did Sue Townsend think we would care about some random girl for a few pages and then to throw in a few things about herself or was it just some made up story! Very Weird!
Like many previous reviewers I did not get this book.I enjoyed the previous two books in the Adrian Mole series and found them to be page turners. The different style of this book made it much harder to read and as such much less appealing. I found it hard to get to the end.I am not sure of the point of the sections of diary's by 'Sue Townsend' or 'Margaret Roberts'; I also felt the Adrian Mole section was too disjointed to be enjoyable.
This third book in the Adrian Mole series shows Adrians struggle to become fully independent and establish himself a position in the world of writing. Hilariously funny I would recommend this book to anyone 13+ (especially boys).
03.07. 19It felt odd reading this disjointed account by Adrian over the course of (I think) 5 or so years.At first it didnt feel like him, but then it did, but at each age you didnt truly get to know him.I missed the younger Adrian, but I did enjoy seeing what he was up to. I would rather have this than just have the next book skip five years.I did not read the other two diary authors as 1. I have no interest, and 2. The book is due back at the library tomorrow and it is 1:30 am.The Adrian Mole
I'd rather not include this in the Mole series.
