Louise Rennison - Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging: Confessions of Georgia Nicholson

Pros: fast-paced storyline, British slang is fun
Cons: unrealistic characters, plot isn't very compelling

The title is the best thing about this book. Louise Rennison hit marketing gold when she thought that one up. I mean who could resist the allure of Angus, thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging? Not I.

This is the story of Georgia...

Pros: Hilarious diary of an angst-ridden teenager
Cons: Might be a little too familiar for parents of teens; May be a little too racy for younger end of recommended age group

From time to time, I've been known to select a book simply for the sake of a wonderful title. Such was the case with Louise Rennison's Angus, thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging. I really love it when the book lives up to the promise of the title,...

Pros: Funny story about a teenaged British girl
Cons: Short, a bit unrealistic (IMO)

One day, while perusing the young adult section of my local bookstore, a bright lime-green cover and the title Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging caught my eye. Interested, I flipped the book over and read the back:

There are 6...

Pros: Funny and entertaining
Cons: references to death and the fact that the book is very short

I found ANGUS, THONGS, AND FULL FRONTAL SNOGGING in the young adult section of my local library. Always on the lookout for books for my 12 year old cousin, I decided to read this first before passing it on. The title of this Louise Rennison debut may...

Pros: funny and definitely entertaining
Cons: Georgia's relationship with her father is non-existent and quite sad, actually

I am ashamed that although I am in my mid-twenties, I found myself searching the Young Adults section at Borders for Angus, Thoungs and Full-Frontal Snogging by Louise Rennison.

The paperback is small and a snappy lime green color....

Pros: Original, funny, Brit slang is fun to figure out, interesting format
Cons: Do NOT read this in public!(see review for explanation)

Whew! What a title! LOL
My first encounter with this book was at my local Barnes and Nobles, where I grabbed the book, which I had seen reviewed in a magazine as "Hilarious", and plopped down in one of those cushy over-stuffed chairs that the folks...

Pros: In a nutshell, very, very funny (and luckily, not too much about thongs)
Cons: Georgia only exists for one thing - full frontal snogging!

I have heard this described as the teenage equivalent of Bridget Jones' Diary. Both are British females, both have men troubles and both write a (funny) diary that just happens to find itself on bookshelves across the world. However, that's about as far...

Pros: hilarious, easy to read, can't seem to put it down
Cons: it ends...:(, too much snogging

This book was so gosh darn funny. I just couldn't put it down, and I couldn't help laughing so much when I read it. My older sister thought I was nuts cuz I laughed so much when I read it. Maybe I am nuts, but I don't really care. What I'm trying to say...

Pros: hilarious, witty and just wonderful
Cons: you might get strange looks from people if you read it in public

This book is by far one of the funniest you'll ever come across. There is no doubt in my mind that once you read the first page, you'll be hooked. I had read this book in French but it just wasn't very funny because of the mediocre translation so I ...

Pros: hilarious, fun British slang dictionary
Cons: maybe a bit too much snogging for a 14 year old?

I am a big fan of diary-type novels so when I heard about this I knew I had to check it out. I was not disappointed. This was one of better diary-esque books out on the market, in my opinion.
Obviously geared towards the teen crowd, this book is the...

Pros: It's hilarious and very entertaining! You don't want to put down the book!
Cons: There are some British phrases she uses you might not understand.

When I read this book, I instantly wanted to be best friends with the main character, a 14 year old British girl named Georgia. Not only did she have an insane little sister and a deranged cat, but she is hilarious. Louise Rennison does an excellent job ...

Pros: Incredibly funny; fun, fast-paced plot; realistic, easy to relate to
Cons: None as far as I could tell! I love this book!

I first picked up this book just because of the title. I did a sort of double-take as I skimmed the shelves of my local bookstore and immediately grabbed this. I forced myself to wait until I got home and then sat down on my couch and read the whole ...

Pros: Hilarious, believable characters, and all around just a wonderful book
Cons: The book ends to soon.

Angus, Thongs, and Full-frontal Snogging is one of the best books I have ever read, every girl can relate to Georgia Niclson's mixed up teenage life. You might want to read this book in privacy, embarrassingly enough, many times I found myself in public...

Pros: Pokes gentle fun at teen angst.
Cons: Her father is kind of a cardboard figure.

Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging is about all that and much more. I put this book away so I wouldn't keep reading it. Georgia Nicolson is a teenage girl with a little sister she adores, who sometimes requires getting to bed by means of bumblebee ...

Pros: This book is hilarious and defiantly one of those laugh out loud books!
Cons: That some of the humor is repeated numerous times.

I'm really glad I listened to my friend's recommendation and read this book. This book is actually like a diary that the main character, Georgia wrote. The writing will really make you laugh out loud and when I started reading the book I couldn't...
