Angus=the narrator's (Georgia) pet cat. Thongs=self explanatory. Full-Frontal Snogging=kissing...the kind reserved for boyfriends! Now that the title is explained, the plot must be as well. Georgia is a teenage girl living in the UK. She goes to an all girl school and loves to break the rules. She has a quite embarressing family that she likes to avoid. And she is always seeking a potential soulmate. Basically, she is the steriotypical teenager.
But who knew being a teenager(or reading about one) could be so fun? This book follows the crazy things Georgia does, with plenty of jokes along the way. Everything is magnified, intesified, and exaggerated for comic effect. Though there is no real point to the book, it goes by fast and you'll be begging for the sequels. I especially loved the dictionary in the back full of words from the U.K. This book was a different read for me because it was a teenager story with a new twist-I learned how teens from the U.K. are so like us.

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.

This book is the first in a series of books about the 14 year old Georgia. The book is written in an audience-friendly diary standard, and is generally funny.

Personally I found the main character (Georgia) to be very shallow and uninteresting. The book talks on and on about how she looks as if it were more interesting than the plot of the novel, but on the other hand, the book would be insanely short if there was only plot and character development and beginning, middle, and end.

Frankly speaking, I didnt really enjoy this book. I literally forced myself to read it, often skipping many pages.
I mean, yes, it did give a few laughs here and there but didnt really seem to me to be as good as the hype all around it.
But of course, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder...
