Angus, Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging - Louise Rennison

 One may have understood from the title that this is a book for teenagers - but what caught my eye ws the snogging bit. What is snogging was my question. And full frontal? And who is Angus and why are thongs in the title.



The book is about the confessions of a fourteen year old teenager Georgia Nicholson who is dealing with teenage angst of thinking she is ugly, worrying about not having boy friends (and therefore not being able to kiss - which by the way is snogging I think), worries about being a lesbian, hates her dad, barely puts up with mom, loves Angus (her cat) and such stuff.

It's written in short diary entries with a smattering of the new languages she is learning - French and Spanish. Overall Georgia's confessions are certainly funny and she comes across as a seriously likeable character.

Enjoyed reading. Must go back and read a bit of Sue Townsend and Adrian Mole again. Also just found out that Louise Rennison has written ten books in the confessions of Georgia Nicholson series which has also been made into a film!!
