I can't decide if this was awesome or awful. Terrific or terrifying. Delightful or dreadful. OK, I'll stop. It was short and definitely compelling, akin to a trainwreck. I couldn't help but watch and wonder where this book was going. It's written from the viewpoint of a 14 year old boy, which ... VIEW POST
Color me unimpressed — “Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging” by Louise Rennison
So, I laughed at a few spots (out loud even), but generally? I thought this was really dumb, and the main character was needlessly silly and self-centered.

The award honors books written for teens, based "entirely on...literary merit." Yesterday's post was about Monster, the story of a ... VIEW POST
