Listening definitely the best on this one

Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging

I raced through this book.   And it's funny.  People said Bridget Jones' Diary was funny, but they don't know funny!  This was chortle, snort, laugh-out-loud funny.

Meet Angus, the cat who attacks people, eats inappropriate substances, and terrorizes the neighbor's poodle.  Meet Georgie, the delightful mixture of teenage angst and near-adult bravado who writes in her diary obsessively--good, bad, and dreadful!  It's all here.  And meet her three-year-old sister Libby, sweetly cuddly, smelling a bit like a hamster, and prone to leaving well-used diapers in Georgia's bedroom.

The narrator did a toss up job, too.  (Not to be confused with tosser, which is Brit-speaker for a wanker.)  The glossary at the end is almost the best part of the book.
