Yessssss. Luuurved it, naturally, though Georgia really is quite stupid, isn't she? (I had to fight the urge to refer to her as a naff prat just then. Things to remember: I am not British. Nor am I 14.) Masimo, the Italian Stallion, does absolutely nothing for me, and I wish he did an equal amount of nothing for her. Alas.

Variations on the word "bitch" were used four times (I think...) ....!! Almost as shocking as the use of the word "slut" in Harry Potter! I mean...more

I'm not proud, but I totally got hooked on the Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging books when I was in library school! They're kind of like the Bridget Jones's Diary books, but for teens. And you can read them in one sitting! This latest installment is as fluffy as the rest and I shudder to think what a real-life Georgia Nicholson would be like (she's awful!), but I still get a kick out of the humor and the glossary provided for Georgia's "American chums."

Has a copy to sell/swap — Read in April, 2008

Every time I read one of these books I always ask myself, "why?". I still don't know the answer. It's a ok read but I know I have far out grown reading books like this and yet when a new one comes out I pick it up and read it. I can't even understand half the things that Georgia is going on about in the story. Then I find myself going around saying things like "fabby". Oh well, I know when book 9 comes out I'll read that too and start thinking to myself, "why?".

This series never fails to make me laugh out loud. Georgia Nicolson is so confused, so dramatic, and so boy-crazy, but you see hints of a good heart underneath. While enjoying her antics I find myself rooting for the rational part of her brain to win.

I don't know how to recommend these titles to teen girls. Do they take the books seriously or laugh at themselves? Need a little help from all you YA Specialists. How do you sell this series?

Georgia Nicholson rides again! These books never fail to make me laugh and possibly roll my eyes. The only bad thing about Louise Rennison's addictive writing is that I go around speaking like a completely naff person on the edge of a nervy b. See? There I go again. I need to check my maturocity.

Read in August, 2008

Georgia is shallow and immature and truly needs to grow up, but these books are still very funny. Sadly, there's a girl in my year who steals all of Georgia's phrases and words, and everyone thinks she's wonderfully original.
I was slightly annoyed at Georgia moaning about how crap History is, and also how unromatic Germans and the German language is. The most gentlemanly man I've ever met is from Germany, so she clearly is quite biased.
Anyway, a light read and only took me a few ho...more

This book is called "Love is a many trousered thing" and this is a great book where it talks about Georgia Nicolson liking 3 boys at a time and she is really confused on who she really likes. She figures that she is still in love with Masimo where he had recently said no to her. Masimo thinks that he is also falling for her and he asks her to go out of town with him and she needs to think about it. Her ex comes back and wants to go back out with her and they go out on a coffee date and...more

I have to admit that over the years I had grown a little tired of Georgia Nicholson. Don't get me wrong, the description of Georgia shaving her eyebrows in Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging remains so funny that I stopped and read it aloud to friends this year at the Printer's Row book fair. The story had grown thin for me by the time I got to book 5 or 6; a third love interest had been added to the mix, a thoroughly uninteresting Italian named "Massimo." The books only really ...more

recommends it for: anyone who's looking for a big laugh

Georgia Nicolson is hilarious. This isn't the kind of funny that makes sense--it's actually the kind of hilarious that doesn't make sense, but yuo laugh anyway because it sounds funny. Um, that probably didn't come out right. But whatever; all you've got to know is that if you're looking for entertainment and a chortle of maniacal laughter, this is the series for you.

This isn't the kind of funny that makes sense--it's actually the kind of hilarious that doesn't make sense, but yuo laugh anyway because it sounds funny. Um, that probably didn't come out right. But whatever; all you've got to know is that if you're looking for entertainment and a chortle of maniacal laughter, this is the series for you.

In case you didn't pick up, this is the 8th book in the series. Georgia Nicolson's crush on Masimo (an Italian guy) is finally no longer a crush when he tells her that he is a "free man" for her. At which point, former crush and ex-boyfriend Robbie returns and makes Georgia confused: does she want Masimo or Robbie? Throw in a bunch of very interesting friends (namely Jas and Rosie, who are just as crazy as Georgia) a third love interest, and you've got the diary of Georgia in your hands.

For starters, I would just like to praise the author (Louise Rennison) for creating the character Georgia Nicolson. Georgia is every bit like a teenager and more: crazy, superficial, moody, and a whole bunch of other adjectives. But mostly, she's just outright hilarious to the point where I can't stop laughing. Reading the book was like talking to a real-life Georgia. Listening to her describe her love life and her "besty" Jas was a real laugh. The author has created such an interesting (yet, at the same time, incredibly stupid and obnoxious) character that it's hard NOT to like her.

Also, I'm thinking there's bound to be one or two more books in this series and it's bye-bye Georgia. Maybe she'll just finish at Book Ten (in which case, I'm rooting for Crush Number 3, even though I think Number 2 is just as cool, but hey, it's not my choice to make).

So, like I said, if you really just want a funny and interesting book, go ahead and pick up the first installment to the series. But be warned, because this is written by a British author and uses terms that may seem unfamiliar, but well, there's a glossary. Heh.(less)

In preparation for the eagerly anticipated 8th book in Rennison's Georgia Nicolson series, I reread the first seven books over the weekend. Though I am getting a bit tired of Georgia's red-bottomosity, the books are hilarious--excellent summer reading.

Georgia is a self-centered girl who keeps a diary and struggles with her nutty family, less-than-sympathetic, but very silly friends, and her vicious cat. Meanwhile, she tries to minimize her enormous nose and to keep her basoomas i...more
