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.©1993 Sue Townsend (P)2012 AudioGO Ltd Diaries & Journals Fiction Genre Fiction Literature & Fiction Memoirs, Diaries & Correspondence Women's Fiction Funny Witty Comedy

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.

A Brilliant Listen

As others have said, this is perhaps not the best of the Mole bunch - early on it is almost too angry/bitter/dark to actually be enjoyable, but it does lighten up and become more humorous later on.

Overall pretty good

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.

Can’t make up my mind

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

Stick with the book it gets better

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 :)

Love Adrian
