Angus, Thongs, and Full-frontal Snogging: Confessions of Georgia Nicolson
Rennison, L. (2000) Angus, thongs and full-frontal snogging : confessions of Georgia Nicolson. New York : HarperCollins Publishers.
Written in diary format, this book details the trials and tribulations of 14 year old Georgia Nicolson in hilarious fashion. Plagued by clueless parents, a vicious cat, and an adorable if messy younger sister, Georgia is trying to muddle her way through the usual teen concerns of fashion, school and finding a boyfriend. The humor helps make the book a quick and fun read, and there is a handy glossary in the back for those of us not up on British slang.
The situations seem true to life, if perhaps a wee bit exaggerated, so the average teen girl will probably find much to identify with. Georgia is convinced that she is ugly, which definitely brought back memories of my own teenage years. Despite this, she manages to find several love interests, which should be encouraging to those with similar fears.
This book is definitely entertaining, and does not delve too deeply into any huge problems. I recommend it heartily to those wanting a laugh, especially if you appreciate British humor.
