Trainers v. Tiaras: Diary of a Chav 1 Audiobook (Unabridged)

" was curious about this children's book so thought I'd give it a read, currently finding it indescribably irritating "

" Ridiculously entertaining in its shameless ridiculousness, even though I had to make judicious use of the glossary. It actually felt like a diary, as opposed to just diary format with too well structured, detailed writing. "

" Need slang dictionary. "

" Okay, this one had me talking "funny" afterwards- a chav is a very lower-class English girl (read: juvenile delinquent), and Shiraz claims that she is not one, but her neighbors are. She is writing in a diary because her grandmother gave her one for Christmas. She starts out looking like a total airhead, obsessed with fashion and friends, doing okay in school, but not great, and worrying about her non-development in the boobs department and her inability to get along with the "lads" at school. In the end, she turns out to be a pretty good kid, who learns a lot from trial and error and personal family experience, and makes some wise decisions, too. Entertaining with lots of English slang that really did require the glossary at the back of the book, at times! "

" This book was really good but at some points it got really booorrrinnngg but at the end of the day it was really funny. "

" I was a little dubious about the title, but this is a sweet natured and funny book, with a likeable main character. "

" Shiraz has no pretensions about being an intellectual, but she is a whip-smart motormouth and funny, funny, funny. It kept reminding me of Adrian Mole, which has long been a favorite of mine. "

" It was a really good book,wasn't like i think it would be as i thought it would be really boring. I love Shiraz and her family, my family's a bit bonkers too!! "

" This is about a chavvy girl called Shiraz bailey wood. "

" I just loved this book because of its name and the slang this girl uses. I would recommend this book to all Americans who want in on British way of talking, proper British; not that cockney accent that they're all obsessed with. "

" Yes, this is fluff. But it's fun. And as an anglophile I liked knowing the lingo and the British pop culture references. "

" Another book about conformity and labels, yay! I'm actually learning a bit about stereotypes :) This one is REALLY funny (purposefully) and smart. Also British. Bonus points! :D "

" I love this book. I actually reread it. It is as good as the first few Adrian Mole books, maybe better. "

" Ended up being a little deeper than I initially thought. Reminded me of a sort of 'Bridget Jones' for teens. "

" Who'd have thought a book from a chav's point of view would be so enjoyable? I loved the references to Channel U and Burberry were great - although if you don't know what a chav is, most of the book make little sense. "

" HATED IT!!! I have to say that I hate British comedy/novels. I hated it from the beginning. ERRRGGHHH!!!! Sry to those that like this book. "

" I love this book. I actually reread it. It is as good as the first few Adrian Mole books, maybe better. "

" If you liked Georgia Nicholson, you'll love Shiraz Bailey Wood. Very funny, and if you are an anglophile, you will love this. "

" Shiraz has no pretensions about being an intellectual, but she is a whip-smart motormouth and funny, funny, funny. It kept reminding me of Adrian Mole, which has long been a favorite of mine. "

" I love Diary of a Chav, its very funny and teaches you stuff too. "

" If you know me, you know I love everything British. And I really loved Shiraz's voice in this book. Laugh out loud funny. Very honest. I do recommend! "
