Angus, Thongs & Full Frontal Snogging (Confessions of Georgia Nicolson #1)

Reader reviewed by gen08

This book is "drop -on- the- floor- rolling- around- and can't- stop-
laughing-till- i- faint" funny. It's amazing, and the others in the
series are just as fun as well. And it really is for all ages because
my language arts teacher actually recommended it after laughing through
the whole class and she's 50! Definitely lifts you when you're feeling
down

I'd like to
begin by explaining a few things, since the only word in the book's
title that's readily clear to Americans is "thong." Angus is a cat,
Georgia's to be exact, but he's not any ordinary cat. One wouldn't
expect a cat of his mixed domestic/Scottish wildcat heritage to be
ordinary. He's exceedingly large, temperamental, or just plain mental
depending how you look at it. Angus intimidates dogs and Angus eats
leads (that's leash in American) on a regular basis. Angus is a killing
machine much feared by the wildlife of Georgia's neighborhood, the
rodents especially. The second thing I'd like to explain is snogging. If
you managed to miss Austin Powers you are most likely confused. A snog
is a kiss, and not of the chaste sort. One doesn't snog one's gran
(grandmother) unless one is very, very strange. Now that I've explained
the unfamiliar terms, let's move on.



Georgia leads a very ordinary English teenage life: an all girls high
school , uniforms with about fifty different
skirt lengths, sneaking off to Boots (a drug store) during double free
periods with her friends... Georgia is more interested in boys,
meeting them, attracting them,and potentially snogging them if she can ever
figure out what to do with her arms , than she is in the mysteries of
physics or Frog (French). At 14 she sometimes thinks she's the only
girl in the world without the very necessary appendage called the
boyfriend, even though she knows this isn't true when she looks at her
friends.


 
Georgia lives at the edge of love and mortification
when she's with her family, so she tries to ignore them as much as
possible. She's so successful at this that she nearly doesn't notice
when her father leaves for New Zealand to look for a job. New Zealand is
so far away it takes nearly two days by plane to get there. Is it any
wonder then that Georgia's mum begins to flirt just a little with the
builder (construction worker) who seems to taking forever to refit the
lounge (living room)? If this sounds a bit like a soap, it should, but
it's a soap driven by humor rather than the pathos.



ANGUS, THONGS AND FULL FRONTAL SNOGGING is funny enough to make the most sad looking guy laugh out loud. This is a book to share
with friends since they'll all want to know what a "tosser" is (no, I'm
not going to tell you). Georgia is Everyday girl taken to the extreme, her
antics will make anything you've ever done when looking for that special
guy seem staid, reasonable, or even worse, completely normal. Rennison
provides at least one joke per page so that the action moves at a quick
pace, and after reading it you might even come to realize that England
is more than Masterpiece Theatre and Blur.Once you start reading, you'll feel like an everyday girl in england!

Any teenage girl, or boy, would be able to relate to Georgia. Some may not go about things the way she has, but I tell you, what an exciting life she leads. She would be a great friend to have. I've seen the movie, and it was just as brilliant and funny as the book. A great read.

I love these books. I have read all five of them. I can't stop laughing at them. My friend told me about this book and thats when I started to read more.

My favorite thing about this book is that I can relate to her. I think most girls can relate to her. With the boys ,school, and of course the boys.

This book will keep you laughing all the way threw. I know I did. Read this book!

This book is so freaking funny. You really can't read this book in any place like a library, or anywhere quiet, because you laugh so much and its kind of embarrasing. Georgia and Jas are so funny when their talking to each other. Plus theres all the romance that the Sex God throws into the mix. I just love it!

I was reading this book on the bus on a school trip once, and this girl told me that this is one of the funniest book ever. I had read enough to agree with her.

The most hilarious things happen to Georgia. In her diary, she writes exactly what's on her mind. My favorite part is when one of Georgia's teachers talks about BO and she and her friends run screaming to the showers. The gym teacher is surprised that she didn't even have to force the girls to get in the showers and stares at them in amazement. Then, the girls remember that she is a lesbian and runs screaming out.

Remember to read the glossary (which is also hilarious) to understand some of the Bristish terms. I cannot wait to read the next book. If you like this book, also check out the princess diaries series.
