Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging

Louise Rennison’s own reading of teenage Georgia Nicolson’s diary is a triumph. Miraculously she sounds convincingly like a teenager, capturing perfectly Georgia’s extreme mood swings from elation to despair as she may – or may not – have been noticed by the Sex God, tangled with the cat Angus or improved her looks (not!) with a pair of tweezers. Georgia’s diary, revealing her self-absorption, interspersed with flashes of kindness and self-mockery, is a delight. (3 hrs 48 mins, unabridged)
