The Madolescents has the regional character of a Roddy Doyle novel, the farcical teenage descriptions of Sue Townsend, and the dark humour of "Shallow Grave." Rowena is sixteen and works at a funeral parlour, making up the corpses (she didn't qualify to be a beautician).She's a typically out-of-control teenager, stealing nail polish from the local boutiques and living on a diet of Bailey's and chips. But when her thoughts and exploits become increasingly unusual, she finds herself in group therapy with five other troubled teenagers.For better or for worse, the Madolescents are formed."

The novel is told from the perspective of Rowena, a 16/17 year old with some issues. She lives with her mum, works in a funeral parlour and is an expert shop lifter. Mum gets a new boyfriend and Rowena struggles with this. She is sent for therapy and joins a group and she finds some soul mates with these Madolescents.
The novel is fast moving and earthy and a bit of a black romp. As well as the Madolescents, Rowena's other soul mate in her Warrior Princess life is a wild black tom cat.
The novel captures the angst of being a teenager well, the self-centred way teenagers can look at the world and the decision making that goes on in a young person's mind. It is thoughtful and interesting. (
