The Adrian Mole Tribute Site

Welcome to the AMTS, one of the most elite Adrian Mole sites on the Internet. 

The AMTS has moved to the brand new address of http://www.amts.f2s.com/.

Hopefully, if you haven't read an Adrian Mole book, after reading this page, you will go and do so!  The Adrian Moles series have been very popular in the UK and you are sure to find a copy of at least one of the books in your local library.  The reason I have made this page is because I believe that not enough people have read an Adrian Mole book.  If you have not done so, read this page and do so after!

So, what are the series of books about?

Well, there are currently 4 books in the series.  These are:

The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 ¾
The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole (July 1989)
True Confessions of Adrian Albert Mole, Margaret Hilda Roberts and Susan Lilian Townsend
Adrian Mole - The Wilderness Years
Adrian Mole - The Cappuccino Years

There is also Adrian Mole: from Minor to Major, a book that contains:

The complete text of "The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole aged 13 3/4" and "The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole" together with the selection of diaries, letters and poems published in "The True Confessions of Adrian Albert Mole". In addition there are 40 pages of diary extracts for 1989 and 1990.

The books are based on the secret diary of a young British lad called Adrian Albert Mole.  Basically, you get to read the ‘secret’ diary of Adrian Mole.  Mole is no ordinary boy.  From Leicester, he has a strange set of parents, problems and indeed a strange life.  I won't go too much into the details of the book because it really is a good read for the first time.

The newest book, the Cappuccino Years came out at the end of 1999.  The official website for this book can be visited by going to http://www.adrianmole.co.uk/.  I have just completed reading the book and it lives up to the standard of the previous books.

Why do most people enjoy reading the Mole Diaries?

If you have seen the TV program The Simpsons, you will probably know that it is a successful program.  The reason for this, as the writer of the show says, is "because there is something enjoyable for everyone in the show - whether 8, or 88".  The same is true for Adrian Mole and his diaries.  I first read The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole at the age of 10.  My mum also read it at the same time and we both enjoyed it as much as each other.

Which book first?

I, as an Adrian Mole lover recommend you read the first book.  Some people opt to read the newest book, but I believe that to fully enjoy the series, it is necessary to read the books in order.  That way, you are not confused by some of the older characters entering the new novels, and you also get to know Adrian when he is young and as he progresses through life.
