About this listen

The Lost Diaries of Adrian Mole, 1999-2001 is the seventh book in Sue Townsend's brilliantly funny Adrian Mole series.

Monday January 3, 2000:

So how do I greet the New Millennium? In despair. I'm a single parent, I live with my mother...I have a bald spot the size of a jaffa cake on the back of my head...I can't go on like this, drifting into early middle-age. I need a Life Plan....

The "same age as Jesus when he died", Adrian Mole has become a martyr: a single-father bringing up two young boys in an uncaring world. With the ever-unattainable Pandora pursuing her ambition to become Labour's first female PM; his over-achieving half-brother Brett sponging off him; and literary success ever-elusive, Adrian tries to make ends meet and find a purpose.

But little does he realize that his own modest life is about to come to the attention of those charged with policing The War Against Terror....

'An achingly funny anti-hero' DAILY MAIL

'One of the great comic creations of our time. Almost every page of his diaries bring a smile to the face' SCOTSMAN

Another delight from Matthew Horne

This is a weird one. It should be CLEARLY stated that this was never meant to be a book as some of the incidents in this book completely contradict what would happen later in Weapons of Mass Destruction, so it should be taken for what it is - additional Mole scenarios that I consider to be semi canon.
I would suggest listening to this AFTER completing The Prostrate Years as to either read in order of release or chronological release is just a bit confusing.
Greta performance by Matt Horne (really wish he had done the Prostrate Years) but with the plot and stories kind of jumping around I don't feel he was able to connect with what was happening as much as Weapons of Mass Destruction. if anything, this is worth it for Horne's performance alone which I consider the definitive adult Mole.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
