This book was extremely funny and I could not put it down. It was glorious in the form of it's vernacular, characters and setting. I love it. British writers always bring a certain element to their writing and this book was filled with elements.

I recently read this book and I couldn't put it down. It was so interesting that I read it in 2 days and even my friend who hates who read loved it. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes crazy stories that are so outrageous but funny. I love the way this book is written because it's easy to read and easy to keep going. Funniest book I've read in a long time can't wait to read the second one.

I love this series more than life itself. Georgia is hilarious and someone we can all relate to.
Non-stop laughter and entertainment ahead if you read this book.

Georgia Nicholson has a very complicated life. Her cat, Angus, is the size of a small Labrador, she has a three year old sister, and her best friend is not all that supoortive and thinks that she is weird. Like that is not enough to make a girl's year interesting, she has recently met the most gorgeous boy in the entire world who she has named the "Sex God." Now, all she has to do is find a way to get him to break up with his current girlfriend, get him to like her enough to ask her out, and discover how to wear the hat required in her school uniform without it being seen.

Ummm, who forgot to tell me that these books are awesome? I've gone all these years and no one has told me? I'm surprised. The British lingo might be confusing for a few chapters but it's really easy to understand once you get used to it. Georgia was an amazing character. She's funny, sarcastic, and has just the right amount of pathetic to really make the books entertaining but not annoying. It has a cliffhanger ending so make sure you have the second one on hand because you'll want to hear more about Georgia's crazy life.

Every teenager in their lifetime has to read Angus Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging. This is how a usual teenage life is suppose to be lived. The main character is soo witty and full of humor that you'll instantly fall in love with her. You'll live through her everyday problems and meet all of her quirky friends. And for those that are really in love with this book, her journeys continue with sequels.

This reminded me of "Gert Garibaldi's Rants and Raves" (Kizer) and another one I read, "My mother is a french fry and further proof of my fuzzed up life" (Sydor), but I think this is the original.

Georgia is a british teen whose parents don't get her and whose friends are trying to cope with crushes, their teachers, and having to wear berets at school. Even with all the british lingo, I really enjoyed it. I found myself laughing out loud more than once. There is plenty of wit and humor, mixed in with the teenage angst and those feelings of wanting to fit in and get the guy. I had heard they made the book into a film, so I'll be trying to watch that soon. For now I will be starting the second in the series. It's a well-written, funny, and light-hearted read.

Louise Rennison's books are kinda hard to understand once you first read them, but after awhile, you get them. This is book #1 in the Confessions of Georgia Nicholson series.

In this book, Georgia goes through normal teenage girl things like boys, boobs, make-up, friends, family, and school.

I think all girls will love this, maybe even some boys.

Georgia Nicolson is a pretty normal 14-year-old British
girl. She hates her parents, her little sister is insane, her cat wants to eat
the poodle next-door, shes questioning her sexuality, and of course she thinks
she will never get a boyfriend (or girlfriend for that matter). Through her
journal entries we get all the juicy insight into her life. Georgia
suspects her mother of having an affair while her father is away in New
Zealand. She also thinks her best friend has
betrayed her by going for a coffee with Robbie, the boy Georgia
is in love with. She also shaves off her eyebrows and accidentally tears a
large clump of hair off her head. Finally, she loses her beloved cat/beast,
Angus, which leads her to Robbie, who it turns out is in love with her too. But
as soon as they finally do some full-frontal snogging Georgia
finds out shes leaving for holiday in New
Zealand next week. Will her new relationship
withstand a summer apart? Youll have to read the next book in the series to
find out.

 

 

Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging is written in diary
form. You will either love this format or hate it. I found that for this series
it works a lot better than a regular novel; if a part is getting boring (which
is a problem I had with this book) you can simply move to the next entry. It
definitely wasnt as hilarious as its supposed to be, and as I said it got a
bit boring in some parts. I suffered from much second-hand embarrassment, even
if the characters were fictional. The situations Georgia
gets herself into are not at all un-realistic, which made them more
cringe-worthy. This is a British book so some of the language Georgia
uses may be unfamiliar to American teens. The version I read had a handy glossary
with clever definitions for all the British slang. Overall Angus, Thongs and
Full-Frontal Snogging is a prime example of a great YA novel. It is unique,
fun, and highly enjoyable.

"Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging" is a hysterical novel about Georgia, a teenager growing up in England. This is a great book if what you want is lots of laughs, because this book is all about boy-problems, makeup, hamburger-a-gogo land, and ways to roll a baret into a sausage shape (so that no one can see it). I really liked this book because it made me laugh nonstop. But Beware! You may want to refrain from reading this in public (or more importalty, in front of people you want to respect you).
