librarybonanza 's review for:
Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging
by Louise Rennison
First in a series of 11 (last written in 2008)
As a 13-year-old, Georgia confronts typical middle-school drama with a unique humor involving her savage cat, a Sex God, uncool parents, and ever-changing friends' statuses (friend today, enemy tomorrow, friend day after tomorrow).
The format of this book as a diary appeals to the middle school age where some girls may start keeping their own diaries. Although the obsession with appearance can get annoying, it is a concern of the audience. The British setting gives readers an exposure to a country outside the U.S. where things aren't quite so foreign (helps ease uncertainty towards unknown).
