Review Detail

Reader reviewed by HawkeyeRob

Actually, I read Angus before I read Bridget Jones' Diary or saw the movie, so when I first read it, I thought it was incredibly original and funny. Now I just think it's funny, but there are many ideas in the book that are almost straight out of Helen Fielding's novel. Georgia concentrates on snogging (or kissing, as we Yanks call it), while Bridget is more focused on sex.

Still, I have had a number of students (mainly girls) who have really enjoyed it, and I like the fact that it is so extremely British. It really gives kids an idea about what teen culture is like in a country besides their own.
