I have read the first book and it was quite good (I dont read much apart from discworld books)

Anyway I bought the second book on ebay but it hasnt arrived yet.

My friend said they go all crappy and politcal :/

When does that happen and how crap do they go?
 
The politics are to be taken with a pinch of salt and seen as a comedic value rather than a serious bit of campaining. I found it fun - you can tell it was typical teenage/young persons exciteable political opinion, which helps make it more enjoyable.
 
When was the last time you ever heard of anyone breaking their arm because they were foolish enough to place it between a swans wings?

I love all of them. They are the kind of books that I will read at least once a year.

Exactly what i do but it's getting to a point where i can predict each diary entry and so it's becoming boring very slowly. :o

Good choice of books, Terry Pratchett is legendary!

I havent read any of the Adrian Mole books, back in the day when they were the 'big thing' to be reading I was busy reading my fantasy book aswell, the hobbit, lord of the rings etc.
 
I only read the first one, but it really annoyed me. I read it when I was about 12 (roughly the same age as the boy) and was furious that this was how people saw boys my age. I didn't measure my penis every day for god's sake. (TBH all I cared about was football and C&C, lol). I figured the woman who'd written them just hadn't done her research, and they'd become famous because people didn't know any better.
Either that or I was an abnormal 12-year old. Whatever.


edit - having read the above posts, other people seem to think they were political? Maybe I just didnt get it and should re-read it, lol.

They were good books, I've got the last oneand the first 2, I remeber trying to read the third and not liking it very much as it was based mainly on poems, but I read the fourth, that was really quite funny, I liked that one :)

Will probably give them all a read through again, for some reason I never get bored of them lol.
 
Never get bored of them, read the Mass Destruction one when I was on holiday recently. Must have read the trilogy one a year at least since I was 10 or so!
 
I loved them when I read them as a younger person. Must pick up the collection again :)
 
I'll never forget reading the first one whilst on a bus on the way home from school. Girl sat opposite me who I fancied and I thought that reading would show her my intellectual side.

Read the bit about the dog stepping in concrete and plodding upstairs, laughed through my nose and blew a massive snot-bubble in full view of her :o
