Journal entries of fourteen year old Georgia relate her trials and tribulations relating to family, school, and mainly boys. Her voice shines through in the hilarious writing as she relates her experiences with things every teen girl experiences, although her views are slightly on the bad girl side. Makeup, bra sizes, little sisters, pet cats, lesbians, boys, and kissing are all discussed with frankness that will bring laughs on almost every page. The main focus of Georgia is winning the heart of Sex God Robbie, with lots of stops to practice snogging with other boys. And don't worry about the British slang; the handy glossary will provide understanding and even more laughs. About the only complaint is that the "journal" format seems more of an unfulfilled gimmick that provides time settings to story happenings rather than feeling like actually reading someone's journal. Girls growing through life will relate to the hilarious antics of Georgia and her friends, and boys can even benefit from a view into the slightly deranged female mind. ( )

A fourteen-year old Bridget Jones-esque girl chronicles her crazy life in this hilarious book. Georgia gets into the most hilarious situations and faces realistic teen worries including: having parents that don't understand her, trying to get the boy of her dreams (the Sex God), dealing with younger siblings, standing up for herself, surviving the latest bit of torture inflicted by her teachers...
It goes on and on and it's all too funny.
I loved this book. I loved the narration and her witticisms. I especially enjoyed reading through the 'dictionary' of all the British slang sayings at the end. Can't wait to read the rest of this series. ( )

Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging is a hilarious look into the diary of a 14 year old English school girl. Georgia has some interesting adventures with her ferocious cat Angus, does some teen age stalking of the boys or "Sex Gods" and deals with a seperation from her father. You will laugh out loud at her attemps to use a razor to shave various unwanted hairs from her body. This is the first in a series of three books and includes a protagonist written glossary of terms just for American readers who don't know English-slang. Great light hearted book. Read by Kristy Fall '09.

Epigraph
Dedication
To Mutti and Vati and my little sister, also to Angus. His huge furry outside may have gone to cat heaven, but the scar on my ankle lingers on. Also to Brenda and Jude and the fab gang at Piccadilly. And thanks to John Nicolson.

Dad had Uncle Eddie round, so naturally they had to come and see what I was up to.
Quotations
He puts his arm around me. I think of putting my arm round him but I don't because I remember the syuffed-olive incident. Then, with his other hand, Peter turns my face towards his. It's a good thing he didn't try that yesterday when I had rigor mortis of the head. Then he says, "Close your eyes and relax."

Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging

Book description
Presents the humorous journal of a year in the life of a fourteen-year-old British girl who tries to reduce the size of her nose, stop her mad cat from terrorizing the neighborhood animals, and win the love of handsome hunk Robbie.

Amazon.com (ISBN 0060521848, Paperback)

She has a precocious 3-year-old sister who tends to leave wet nappies at the foot of her bed, an insane cat who is prone to leg-shredding "Call of the Wild" episodes, and embarrassing parents who make her want to escape to Stonehenge and dance with the Druids. No wonder 14-year-old Georgia Nicolson laments, "Honestly, what is the point?" A Bridget Jones for the younger set, Georgia records the momentous events of her life--and they are all momentous--in her diary, which serves as a truly hilarious account of what it means to be a modern girl on the cusp of womanhood. No matter that her particular story takes place in England, the account of her experiences rings true across the ocean (and besides, "Georgia's Glossary" swiftly eradicates any language barriers).

The author, Louise Rennison, is a British comedy writer and it shows. Whether Georgia is dealing with wearing a bra ("OK, it's a bit on the loose side and does ride up round my neck if I run for the bus"), pondering kissing and how to know which way to turn your head ("You don't want to be bobbing around like pigeons for hours"), or managing the results of an overzealous eyebrow-plucking episode ("Obviously, now I have to stay in forever"), she always cracks us up. Georgia struggles with the myriad issues facing teen girls--boys, of course being at the forefront--but she does it with such humor and honesty it almost seems like a good time. This refreshingly funny book is ripe for a sequel, which readers will await in droves. (Ages 11 and older). --Brangien Davis
