4.0 out of 5 stars Lost & thankfully Found, Sep 6 2009

By	I LOVE BOOKS (Italy) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Dear Adrian, keep writing. I've read all of your Diaries and enjoyed them all throughout the years. And don't worry about that Sue Townsend making "quite a lucrative living passing herself off as me", like you mention in the foreword. In fact I think you should become friends as she might have a few excellent suggestions for your writing career. Unpublished and frustrated authors like yourself could do with a little help. I'm sure Ms. Townsend wouldn't mind.
All the best for now. Love from one of your affectionate readers. X

5.0 out of 5 stars Looking for Meaning in an Empty Existence, Jun 26 2009

By	Ian Gordon Malcomson (Smithers, Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This was my first big introduction to Townsend's now-famous literary creation of the typical British underachieving middle-age male in the person of Adrian Mole, and hopefully not my last. Everything about the main character, Adrian, as revealed in the contents of his rambling diaries, is utter futility. He is a person trapped in the personal aspirations of some very unrealistic ambitions that will never materialize. Adrian is a thirty-three year old man who lives in a typical government-run housing estate, on the dole, divorced, with two preteen brats, a dream about becoming a published writer of cook books, fixations on the past and concerns about the future, and not a lot of empathy for his plight. What emerges in his journals is a very palpable sense that he is no longer in control of his life as he desperately tries to figure out where he wants to go with his secret passion: writing poetry that laments the passing of a traditional England he once knew. Mole is no slouch when it comes to analyzing his human estate. He knows he leads a solitary existence by the fact that few if any in his little world care a tinker's dam about his hopes and fears, but still he lives for the day when he can break out and make a difference in the greater world. There are many moments in Mole's life where the gap between the dreams and the reality of his life is so big that some readers can't help but be amused, knowing full well that they, too, share in the same generational feelings of social alienation and underfulfillment. What made this an especially useful read for me was to know the political context in which all this is happening in British society: it is the beginning of the 21st century and Brits are now experiencing the rebuilding of the welfare state under Blair's New Labor government. Everybody and his cousin is looking for a helping hand from big government, except of course Adrian. A must read for anyone wanting to tap into what is wrong with British society, with a raw twist of humor and satire to make it go down easier.
