I
read this series when I had an intense English class filled with big, adult-type
literature, and I grabbed this in order to have a fun book series to contrast
with what I was reading at the time.
Fun is the best way to describe this series.
The
series starts with Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging, and ends
with Are These My Basoomas I See Before Me?, which should give readers
some idea of the fun and flirty adventure they will travel on. Readers will follow the life of British
teen, Georgia Nicholson, and hear about her every day life, her friends, which
she titles “the Ace Gang”, her love interests, and her hopelessly uncool
family. For anyone
unfamiliar, or simply incredibly interested (myself), in the British slang all
the cool kids are using, the back of each book contains a dictionary for
anything in the book deemed foreign to American readers. This was the first thing I read when I
started each book, and I found it fun each time.
This
in not necessarily a book for those looking for some challenging reading
material. It would, however, be
wonderful for anyone reading for the joy of reading. It’s fun, it’s quick, and it’s interesting. It’s definitely a young adult book
though, filled with obsessions over make-up and confusion over boys.
I
would be happy to recommend this to anyone who wants to have a good time
through young adult literature.
