Personal opinion

In our opinion, The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole is a very funny and interesting book. We liked it because it shows teenage problems in a real way, but also with humor. Adrian is a bit dramatic, but that makes the story more entertaining. We also liked how he talks about love, school, and his family. Sometimes we didn’t really understand what was happening around him, and that made it even funnier. In conclusion, we think that many teenagers can feel identified with him. It’s an easy book to read and we enjoyed it a lot.
