Gut geschrieben und humorvoll. Mich hat es trotzdem nicht gepackt.

The Woman Who Went to Bed for a Year di Sue Townsend

I haven't finished this book. I went away for the weekend and found it on the bedside table in the spare bedroom. As I'd forgotten to bring the book I was actually reading, this seemed ideal. I hadn't finished it by the time the weekend was over, and I couldn't be bothered to ask if I could borrow it till I had.

Our heroine is 50 year old Eva, fed up with her husband, her borderline autistic twins who have just departed for University, and life itself. So she retires to bed. Her husband, her mother, her mother-in-law are all aghast, but there she stays. We pop along from time to time to Leeds University with the twins and meet their delusional 'friend' Poppy. We go to work with her husband Brian, and see glimpses of his affair. We meet odd-job man Alex, war veteran Stan. All of these characters are larger than life, but none of them gave me the laugh-out-loud moments the book jacket promised.

The central premise, that Eva is completely fed up with being taken for granted, is certainly worth exploring, but I was by turns irritated and bored by the whole thing. But then I didn't get on with Adrian Mole either.… (altro)

The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, Aged 13 3/4 di Sue Townsend

Yes, there were a few funny scenes with Grandma, Bert, and Pandora, but mostly it was distress after distress:

Could be re-titled "Secret Diary of Adrian SPOTS."

Glad he joined The Good Samaritans and took on Bert, who was full of surprises.

Never solved mysteries: Why father did not pursue work?
Why father let mother cheat right in front of him?
Why father allowed to treat dog so bad?

Scotland was a saving time for the plot!

Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 3/4 di Sue Townsend

So completely of it's time, and provides good documentation of how things were back then. Even reading it in the early 90s it was evident how things have changed. Adrian comes across as being physically and emotionally underdeveloped in a family that probably didn't want him.
