I had forgotten all the details of this book, many of which made me laugh out loud on re- reading. I was also struck by how much the world has changed in the 20+ years since it was written. I wonder if an Adrian Mole of the 21st Century would be very different.
I like the diary format, as it gives the book an understandable pace. The juxtaposition of his observations would not work without it.
I don't often re-read books, but it was good to have an excuse to revisit this old favourite.
