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 |

 This is the cheesy stuff that girls are reading?, May 13, 2023
This book is cheesy, immoral, and disgusting. Like a list of how to go from a goodnight kiss to a LOT more, wink wink. It is poorly written and tasteless. It's about a boy-crazy, sex-hungry, brainless, bratty 14 or 15 year old who hates her parents and little sister and practically drools for boys. Good grief, there's plenty of people who could write bette (insert proper word) than this! (I'm 16, but I cannot use an adult form!! 8-[

 Not perfect, but just about, May 11, 2023
Such an adorable book! Cute as all get-out. I wouldn't have thought I'd enjoy this book so much as I'm well past my teenage years; however, it was one my daughter wanted to read and the title looked interesting, so I gave it a try.
Georgia doesn't have all the answers, but doesn't always pretend like she does; she is the typical 14 year old and then some. How does a woman of Louise Rennison's age write such an appealing character of such a tender age? However she is able to do it, she does it brilliantly.
This book was a quick read, but thoroughly enjoyable. Even though it's a lightweight, it's definitely a feel-good lightweight, not one that leaves you wishing you hadn't bothered. I got such a kick out of Rennison's Georgia. And the minor characters you could sense as people, like her mom, dad and sister - not as afterthoughts.
I read The Year My Life Went Down The Loo by Katie Maxwell before I read this book; what a ripoff of Angus, Thongs... it is! And a very poor one at that.
I look forward to reading more of Louise Rennison in the future.

 Hilarious, May 1, 2023
I'm not really a book person but I decided to get one with a voucher that I had. This book was well worth it, it's so funny.
Georgia and her diary entries are hilarious, and language such as " piddly-diddly department" and nunga-nungas are well thought up.
TRUST ME, READ IT!! IT'S FAB!

Excellent, Apr 29, 2023
This novel was exquisite,it was funny,and it is true about what teenage girls turning into young adults worry about, dose that boy like me, eww that girl is wearing and ugly shirt,ect. I would recommend this novel to teenagers who like to read novels that are funny and who likes sexual humor this is your kind of novel. Or if you are a guy and you want to know what some girls think about guys or you just want to just read for fun...agian this is your book.

Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging Review, Apr 25, 2023
Angus: her mixed-breed cat, half domestic tabby, half Scottish wildcat, is wildly mad and he attacks everything!
Thongs: up-your-bum underwear, worn by Wet Lindsay, Georgia's competitor for the Sex God
Full-Frontal Snogging: Georgia's specialty, kissing with everything put together. Georgia learned to snog from a professional snogger.
Georgia Nicolson has to have the best head to ever be in. She is outgoing, clueless, and has everything imaginable going through her head. I'm serious; the things in this book will blow your mind! Georgia's life and thoughts juggling her family, friends, school, boys, boy mode, Sex God searches, the Sex God, parties, and best of all, snogging can all be found in Georgia's diary of her teenage years in this must-read, hilarious book by Louise Rennison. The catch is that you can't just read this one book, you have to read the whole, fun-filled, five book series and find out everything possible that has to do with Georgia Nicolson. If you like humor in your reading, then these books should definitely be on the top of your reading list because, as I did, you will be laughing out loud by the time you've finished!
