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

Reader reviewed by Amanda Marasco

Georgia finds herself in many errr situations in this hilarious book. The Story is mostly about how Georgia feels about her family, friends, school and of course boys, including the sex god.

I love how this book is told in diary form. We are able to really get inside of Georgia's head. It was sooooo funny! Even if you don't like to read, you'll love to read this book. The only thing that bugged me is the book barely has a plot.

You should buy this book! Ohhh and you can buy the rest of the series! GO GO GO!!!!

Wow! This book is really funny! I just finished reading it and am now on the second one! Georgia is so ditzy and I loved the part about the pool balls! Hehe! And the tennis tourni! One of the really funny parts I though was when she and Jas were stalking Lindsay and Georgia says "She looked into her compact and instead of running home screaming, kept walking." or something like that! I thought that was funny!
This is a must read! So go out and buy it!

This book was abosolutely hilarious. A must read for all teenage girls. This is the journal of the very funny and boy lusting Georgia Nicolson. She writes about her insecurities, her downfalls,life events, her friends and thoughts (all which are unsensored).

Summary (from the back of the book): Angus: My mixed-breed cat, half domestic tabby, half Scottish wildcat. The size of a small Labrador, only mad.

Thongs: Stupid underwear. What's the point of them, anyway? They just go up your bum, as far as I can tell.

Full-frontal Snogging: Kissing with all the trimmings, lip to lip, open mouth, tongues... everything.

Her dad's got the mentality of a Teletubby (only not so developed). Her cat, Angus, is trying to eat the poodle next door. And her best friend thinks she looks like an alien - just because she accidentally shaved off her eyebrows. Ergghhhlack. Still, add a little boy-stalking, teacher-baiting, and full-frontal snogging with a Sex God, and Georgia's year might just turn out to be the most fabbitty fab fab ever!

Review: This was possibly one of the funniest books I've ever read. Georgia is a hilarious narrator. At times some of the things she came up with just cracked me up. Like she starts calling her mother "Mutter" (Mutti for short) and her father "Vater" (Vati for short), as she's taking German at her school, and actually continues that throughout the book.

One part that absolutely cracked me up was after she accidentally shaved off her eyebrows and she's hiding from the world in her room. (Just so you all know, Libby is her little sister, two or three years old.)

8:00pm
The only nice person is Libby. She was stroking where my eyebrows used to be and then she went and brought me a lump of cheese. Great. I have become ratwoman.

Absolutely hilarious and the entire book is like that. At times I actually had to stop myself from laughing out loud because I was reading it at night.

My only issue is perhaps some of the subject material is a little old for a girl who's only fourteen, but that could easily be that I'm simply in denial about the fact that fourteen year old girls are dealing with things like that. Otherwise, though, I loved this book and would recommend it without a second thought and I'm looking forward to reading the others in this series.

Conclusion: A good, fun book definitely worth checking out.

Happy reading.

This is hilarious book that really portrays the feelings felt by all teenagers (although, admittedly they may be a little more extreme than average). The antics of Georgia will leave you cringing and collapsing into a fit of giggles at the same time. A wonderfully quick and easy read!

Georgia leads a very ordinary English teenaged 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, 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.

In the meantime Georgia must contend with parents who are just the littlest bit strange, and a three year old sister who suffers from exploding swimming knickers (panties) syndrome when fed baked beans before swimming. 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 pofaced bloke (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 Everygirl 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. Pick it up, read it, and lend it to a friend --- but only after you've borrowed something of equal value as hostage just to make sure you get it back.

This book is so funny. Your sides will be hurting from laughing so hard. I love the english lingo is this good is pretty cool listening to how british people talk.  Also, it sounds like something that would really happen to a teenager.  Its cool becaus i can relate to it.  ANd I love the sex god in the book so funny.  I think if you are a middle school, high school, or even a college student you read this if you need a good laugh.

you can't stop laughing... even when your sides hurt! It's hilarious... all the musings and thoughts of an average girl are compounded into a diary that is, for once, interesting to read! A very good read!

Angus,Thongs & Full Frontal Snogging is a hilarious book.My guess is that whenever you put a teenage girl,her diary,boys,friends,and a cat with a serious complex in one book,you're bound to get an unforgettable adventure.I think Georgia is a one of a kind character.I love how she's always doing something crazy.Like how she made the mistake of shaving off both of her eyebrows.I can sympathize with this particular problem because in the seventh grade I shaved off a huge chunk off of my right eyebrow,the hair is still a little thin in that spot.Anyway,this book is sure to make anyone with a funnybone laugh out loud.

I (Erin) bought this one as a “blind date” from Malaprops. They wrap books in brown paper and write things like “hilarious” or “pee-your-pants funny” or whatever, and you buy it like that and then open it to see what you bought! It’s so fun! (If you already have it, you can exchange it right away, so it’s a much better deal than your usual blind date ha ha!)

Georgia is 14. She lives in Great Britain and has all kinds of misadventures like dressing up as an olive for a party and wrestling her own rather terrifying house cat. She’s very funny most of the time, but sometimes she’s kind of mean so I didn’t always sympathize with her.

This is the first book in the series–copyright 1999–so it’s a bit dated now. For example, the main character asks a million questions but never Googles anything. Clearly not a modern teenager. (Clearly not a modern anything.)

Still, it’s a light, quick read, structured like a diary which adds to the humor–at 6:00 she might say she’s never speaking to someone again, and then at 6:02 she calls them. I just wish Georgia’s sense of humor was a bit less mean–and I wish her view of the world was a bit more inclusive–but that’s realistic I suppose.

I wished that about most 14-year-olds even when I was 14 myself.
