Angus, Thongs and full frontal Snogging - Louise Rennison

This is the first in the hilarious series by Louise Rennison. When I first picked up the book, I have to admit the cover was the thing I was most transfixed with. The picture above must be a newer cover, because usually they have cartoon drawings on them and are in eye watering shades that attract attention. I'll post a picture of the better known, more common cover with this review. This particular book in the series has a flourescent orange cover, with the title in pink and cartoon style pictures ofahandbag, heart and a kiss on the front, and a cat on the back alon with the blurb. I thought ... more

Angus, thongs and full frontal snogging, you may think that this is a sex book designed for women over the age of 16 from the title, but it is actually a teenage comedy book, (but you would be right in thinking that it is a women’s book) about a cat that cannot control who he gets pregnant (Angus the cat), thongs - seeing your enemy wear them, and never having snogged a member of the opposite sex before; so that you go insane and end up having snogging lessons from someone you don’t like so much. Georgia has to go to an all-girl’s school because her parents want her to go there. They have to ... more

So searching through the rack of books i came across 'Angus, Thongs, and full frontal snogging' in the mature teenage section. So this book must be for kids right?.....Wrong!!! I admit, when i found this book i was about 15 and thought it would be a humerous, easy read. Now, four years on, i am still rishing out to buy the next instalement as they arrive in stores. The thing is, these books are so laugh out loud funny and addictive that even though i am no longer in the 'age group' for which they are intented i am not embarrased to get out my book in public and read along. The book itself is ... more

I got this book for a holiday and thought it would be perfect as it had got brilliant reviews and i love teenage fiction so i was sat on the aeroplane opened the book and within the 1st few minutes of reading it i had got thousands of funny looks from laughing out loud so loudly! Make sure you read this alone, seriously you will love the book but the funny looks??..... It is all about the life of Georgia Nicholson, a 16 year old girl at the age where the only ... more

My friend gave me this book after she had read it and at the time it looked funny but had read similar books which were all the same and used the same plots and jokes so did not jump into reading it straight away, however having just finished my exams i needed something to read as the good weather crept through i put on a pair of shorts and headed for the back garden like any brit and in scotland sun and warmth is even more alien so i took the opportunity. I decided to read this to keep me occupied.My stepdad laughed that night when i suggested to my sister to read it so i warn you perhaps not ... more
