520    British adolescent angst has never been so laugh-out-loud 
       funny as in this first encounter with a sharp-witted, 
       pining, and achingly honest underdog (The New York Times).
       Perhaps when I am famous and my diary is discovered, 
       people will understand the torment of being a 13-year-old 
       undiscovered intellectual. Adrian Mole is approaching 
       fourteen, and like all radical intellectuals he must amass
       his grievances: His acne vulgaris is grotesque; his crush,
       Pandora, received seventeen Valentines Day cards; his PE 
       teacher is a sadist; he fears his parents marriage is over
       since they no longer smoke together; his dog has gone 
       AWOL; no one appreciates his poetry; and Animal Farm has 
       set him off pork for good. If everyone were as appalled as
       Adrian Mole, it would be a better world. Introducing one 
       of literatures most endearing figures: a luckless 
       adolescent of great expectations and dwindling patience 
       who knows allor believes he doesand tells all (The 
       Observer). First published in 1982, Adrians chronicle of 
       angst has sold more than twenty million copies worldwide, 
       spawned seven sequels, and been adapted for television and
       staged as a musical. Heres where it all began.
