Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging: Summary and book reviews of Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging by Louise Rennison, plus links to an excerpt from Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging and a biography of Louise Rennison.

Angus: My mixed-breed cat, half domestic tabby, half Scottish wildcat. The size of a small Labrador, only mad. Likes to stalk Mr. and Mrs. Next Door's poodle. I used to drag him around on a lead, but, as I explained to Mrs. Next Door, he ate it. Thongs: Stupid underwear worn by old Swotty Knickers, Lindsay What's the point of them, anyway? They just go up your bum, as far as I can tell. Full-Frontal Snogging: Kissing with the trimmings, lip to lip, open mouth, tongues...everything (apart from dribble, which is never acceptable). As taught to me by a professional snogger. In this wildly funny journal of a year in the life of Georgia Nicolson, British author Louise Rennison has perfectly captured the soaring joys and bottomless angst of being a teenager. In the spirit of Bridget Jones' Diary, this fresh, irreverent, and simply hilarious book will leave you laughing out loud. As Georgia would say, it's "Fabbity fab fab!" (This book was first published in the UK with the title It's Okay, I'm Wearing Really Big Knickers)

Media Reviews

USA Today In the style of a younger Bridget Jones, Georgia writes with high drama about parents, school and boys. Whether describing moments of desolation or rhapsodic joy, she has exquisite comic timing. Rennison includes a funny glossary to cover all the terms, such as snogging (kissing), unfamiliar to American readers.   The New York Times Suppose you combine two modern British diarists, Adrian Mole and Bridget Jones...here's what you'd get...raunchy and quite funny.   The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books Brash, heedless, and extremely--sometimes even intentionally--funny, Georgia is sort of a British version of Naylor's Alice absent mature authorial guidance...With highspirited and exhausting intensity Georgia flings herself from one crisis to another, helplessly authentic and helplessly humerous in her escapades.   Publisher's Weekly Rennison exquisitely captures the fine art of the adolescent ability to turn chaos into stand-up comedy.   Booklist - Michael Cart American readers wondering what on earth full-frontal snogging is will find the answer in the helpful (and hilarious) glossary appended to this antic diary of a year in the life of an English girl named Georgia Nicolson.... This fabbity, fab, fab novel will leave readers cheering, Long live the teen! and anxiously awaiting the promised sequel.   School Library Journal ...enjoy the wit and wisdom of this charming British import...those who relish humor will be satisfied. Fresh, lively and engaging.   The Guardian (UK) You know when you really should stop laughing and everyone is looking at you? This was me reading the manuscript on the train. This is a brilliant book! ... I can't recommend it highly enough.   Seventeen (UK) Anyone who's ever ridden the roller coaster of adolescence will relate to 14-year old Georgia Nicholson's hysterically funny journal.   The Sunday Telegraph (UK) It's Bridget Jones for teenagers -- but funnier! Expect Potter-esque queues for the sequel.

**double cool with knobs & sex gods akimbo**
Georgia's fandangos are granted bonus hilariosity owing to the fact that Rennison isn't just doing some creative writing, the contents are actually colorful excerpts from her bemused life. Unlike the typical adolescent fiction, there isn't much...   Read More
