Review It's OK, I'm Wearing Really Big Knickers!: Complete & Unabridged: Further Confessions of Georgia Nicolson: Complete & Unabridged / Chivers Children's Audio Books:What a life poor Georgia Nicolson leads! For a start her mother, in between squeezing into tight crop tops and thrusting her bazoomas at the hunky George-Clooney-lookalike doctor, is trying to drag Gerogia off to New Zealand. But how can she go to New Zealand when there's a sex god (SG) to snog and the persistent lesbian rumours to fend off? After discovering "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus", Georgia and her friend Jas have constructed a clever way of getting SG back from Wet Lindsay. Neither are quite sure how it works, but it involves boys stretching like elastic bands (or something) and using Laughing Dave as a Red Herring. Add the psychotic cat Angus into the mix, a liberal helping of hyperactive sister Libby and a truly bizarre roll call of teachers and it's no wonder Georgia has turned to Buddhism (but it's so hard to be a Buddhist when Mr Next Door keeps wandering around in his shorts and distracting her). Georgia Nicolson is one of the funniest comic creations in children's fiction and Ms Rennison has dreamt up another fantastically funny outing for this loveable teenage girl. Her voice is constantly authentic throughout as she blunders her way through personal trauma after personal trauma, dealt with her in her own inimitable and hilarious style. This a welcome follow-up to Angus, Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging; all the major players are back and on top form and Rennison gives us plenty of new characters to plague and torment. Georgia's friendship with best mate Jas is painfully funny and deeply felt and, despite the fact that they fall out every two seconds, their love for each other is obvious. In short, this is probably the funniest read of the year. Move over Adrian Mole-your competition has well and truly arrived. [+]-Jonathan Weir.

Review Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging (Cover to Cover) / Cover to Cover Cassettes Ltd:It is bad enough trying to cope with being a teenager, Georgia Nicolson's problems go way beyond the average in Louise Rennison's debut novel for children-a kind of Bridget Jones does "Top Shop" and just as funny. Georgia relates her tales of love, life and full frontal snogging through her diary, a format that in this case works like a dream. Georgia not only has to cope with the hormonal roller coaster that refuses to stop, but fears that she might be a lesbian and her dad might be a transvestite. Of course, Georgia is seeing the world through her naive eyes and seems to get every situation hopelessly wrong-not so good for her but great for the reader who is treated to an hilarious account of a few months in the life of typical teenager. Rennison's prose crackles with energy and enthusiasm and her voice is so painfully authentic that at times you feel almost guilty, as if you are secretly peering into the pages of a real person's diary. But it is the author's razor sharp humour that will keep you hooked and, at times, virtually crying with laughter as Georgia stumbles from one mid-teen crisis to the next, such as an unfortunate incident with a pair of tweezers and some eye liner pencil. Her cringe-inducing encounters with boys, especially her over-friendly cousin, cause just as many problems as what she should do with her hands while engaging in a heavy kissing session. Angus, Things and Full-Frontal Snogging is a smart, sharp and very funny book, superbly written and acutely observed-please Ms Rennison, can we have some more? (Age 12 and over) -Jonathan Weir.

Review Tara Road: Complete & Unabridged / Chivers Audio Books:Amazon. com Oprah Book Club(r) Selection, September 1999: Against all odds, two newlyweds manage to buy the house of their dreams. In 1982, property speculation is beginning to be a big, big thing in Dublin-and their street is very much in an up-and-coming part of town. "They laughed and hugged each other. Danny Lynch from the broken-down cottage in the back of beyond and Ria Johnson from the corner house in the big, shabby estate were not only living like gentry in a big Tara Road mansion, they were actually debating what style of dining table to buy. " But for its various inhabitants, the street is to become a boulevard of dreams-some broken, others created anew. Maeve Binchy has long proved herself a secure hand at multiple story lines, and over the course of 500 satisfying pages she focuses on Ria; her best friend, Rosemary Ryan, a beautiful, endlessly selfish career woman; Gertie, the battered wife of a drunkard; and several other intriguing women, each of whom has secrets not to be shared. There is even an all-knowing fortune teller who early on hints that Ria will travel and start a successful business-two things she knows are definitely not in the offing. Yet after our supposedly happy housewife and mother of two is confronted by some inexorable home truths, a chance phone call from America will change her life, forcing her to discard her illusions about men, women and marriage and start all over again. At the same time, the Connecticut caller, Marilyn Vine, has her own lessons to learn when she and Ria swap houses for the summer. [+]Yet there's nothing remotely preachy about this novel-even the bad guys (and yes, they're usually guys) and beautiful mistresses get to maintain some appeal. Instead, Tara Road is a stirring look at the reality behind our consuming fantasies, and a page-turner to boot. -Siobhan Carson.
