I liked this book very much. It was nice to see some of the Norse gods getting some attention.


Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging (Confessions of Georgia Nicolson, Bk 1)
Review Date: 7/12/2009


I have to say I was not too impressed with this book. Maybe I expected too much from a fictional diary about a young teen in England. It wasn't all bad. It's a good read while waiting for the bus type of thing.

I haven't read alot of Dean Koontz's work, but Odd Thomas has caught my eye. I have been hooked ever since. I know it might seem a little cheesy with another book about a person who can see dead people. Especially when he's also got Elvis hanging about him. Beyond all that the book is a great read and entertaining. I suggest it and the others in the series to all my friends to read.

I absolutely loved this book. I can read it many times over. Mostly because I loved the descriptive scenery, and I LOVE Anything having to do with Dracula or Vlad Tepes A.K.A. Vlad the Impaler. I wish there were more books like this one.

I Liked the Mists of Avalon. I thought reading back into history about the Isle of Avalon and the previous ladies who ruled it was going to be a good read. I can't say it was horrible but she has a whole series of books that go back farther and farther into the history of it and each girl's story is the same as the one before it. I found it all repetitive and dull.

I would recommend picking one of the ____ of Avalon books to read such as Priestess of Avalon, Lady of Avalon, The Forest House, Daughter of Avalon, Etc Just one would clue ya in on what happened. Otherwise. It's like beating a dead horse.

I think this is the one I like dleast in the whole series. Not because Edward's not in it. Only because It was alot of a morose Bella and It was annoying watching her try to befriend Jacob when he clearly liked her and wanted a relationship with her and all she can do is go see him knowing this, and pine after Edward. I liked having more Jacob in the story, but Bella is really annoying.

This was my First GGK book. I collected All of the books he wrote. Well, that I could get my hands on. This one always stuck with me. My Second favourite was Tigana but I was 14 when I read it and I couldn't follow it very well. This one will always be among my favorites.

I Really enjoyed the series. I loved that it took place in Forks, Washington. I am from Tacoma and I had some family friends who lived in Forks. I love the series. However I cannot say I liked the interaction the characters had with each other. It did seem flat and maybe a bit rushed. Bella hardly knew Edward and the first time they actually hang out together she is telling him that she can't live without him. It's also painful to watch Edward act more like he is her parent than her Boyfriend. It only got worse as the series went on. I recommend it to everyone to read, but don't expect anything amazing in the writing or characters. Honestly the only ones I truly enjoyed reading about was Alice and Jacob.

Of course we all have our own opinions... but I got this book for 5 Bucks at Half Price books and I wish I could get my money back. This book is so full of crap.
