I got a real kick out of these funny, honest, unsentimental YA books. I would have loved (and I mean LOVED) them in high school. They're written as the diary of a British girl named Georgia, and she covers all the drama, hilarity, embarassment, etc., of the high school years, only with a delightful Englishness. Really fun, reeeeeeally amusing. I don't imagine they'd meet with much approval from the parents of American teenagers, though- Georgia is pretty frank (even crude- she's a teenager after...more
Another couple of hours with Georgia and, as expected, no life lessons but tons of hilariosity. Can't say much happens in this installment. The highlights are: Georgia's ever-growing nunga-nungas (a.k.a. basoomas a.k.a. breasts) which once again attract a wrong kind of attention, this time from a Scottish lad; a serious case of red-bottomosity (a.k.a. general horn a.k.a. sluttiness); and Angus's trouser snake removal operation.

Three books in and I'm done with the series. Already they're getting really tiresome. Georgia is 14 but acts like she's both 20 and 5 at the same time. Whinging on about her parents (who have absolutely NO consistency to their weak characterizations) being weirdos and her egg-headed uncle one minute, and then snogging the life out of guys who are quite a bit older than her, wearing short skirts, and going to clubs the next.

Fun and cute! Once again Georgia Nicolson narrates her ordinary life in a highly amusing tone. This installment sees Georgia take a family trip to Scotland ("och-aye land"), juggle two boys and clumsily stumble through daily life. Georgia's voice is unique and entertaining. These books, while short and light, pack a lot into the small amount of pages and never fail to make me laugh out loud more than once which to me is the sign of a very successful book.
I did not like this book because it is about a teenage girls diary that does not have a hook to keep me interested in reading more. After reading 15 pages, I could not get interested in the book. It seems to be random writing without a story to it. There are 10 pages of definitions to made-up words used by the main character, Georgia who is a teenage in England writing in her diary. Why would I want to look up made-up words to understand what is going on in the diary? It is a banned book because...more
Is it just me or is Gee getting ruder? She’s always been anti-authority and a bit of an idiot. But in a lovable way. Now…not so much. It’s tough to want nice things, like Dave the Laugh, for such an insolent little twit. And she’s (secretly) running around with Robbie, who is much older than her. Come to think on it, the only guys who are remotely interested in her are years her senior. Hm.
Anyway. Liked the jaunt to Scotland. Gingers! The series is still a laugh if not taken seriously. At all.

I don't even know how to start this review as I'm so flustered. I liked the first book in the series just fine and the second one was just okay. However, this book left me cold and, to be honest, quite angry. I see there was "controversy" over the phrase "nunga-nungas", but that seems like a trivial complaint compared to some of the other things in this book.

My Thoughts:
If I truly want a pick me up I drop into Georgia's world. Her every day observations and hilarious antics make me laugh out loud. There is no doubt that this is a girl I would hang with!

The first book was refreshing and funny, soured only by continous lesbian bashing. The second book was decidedly less so, and by this third installment, I am personally quite sick of listening to materialistic, shallow and self-centered Brit Georgia Nicholson whine about her parents, friends, and school. Even the subplot - Angus' courting of the neighbors' cat is so out of control Georgia's dad threatens to have him spayed - is not funny.

Absolutely no one
I read this book in a couple of hours and hated every page. Not only is every entry repetitive, shallow and annoying with a frustratingly vain narrator (who thinks everyone has a preoccupation with her breasts), but its message also irritated me: the fifteen year old protagonist has her mind fixed narrowly on sex, boys and make-up. Nothing else, and considering teen books are generally aimed at an audience a few years younger than the protagonist, I found this outlook bleak and boring.
Georgia Nicolson has now had a lot of snogging experience under her belt, making it more than halfway up the snogging scale. She's got the sex god of her dreams as a boyfriend. Her parents are all loved up. Life couldn't be more fabbity fab.
Except it isn't. For starters, Georgia's dad has dragged her and the family off to Scotland on holiday. How can she survive without seeing (or snogging) the Sex God Robbie? Fortunately the distance is only short-lived, and she's back with her rock-star boyfri...more

This book kinda drove me crazy and made me want to pull out my hair. I don't even know why I've given it 3 stars. I guess because I didn't HATE it, was just bored by it.
The only thing that happened was Georgia continued her descent into horribleness. She was a little bratty in the first book, started getting mean in the second book, and by this third book she was just a vile little bitch.

While caring for a very sick relative (and dealing with all the stress that goes along with such a task), I wanted something fun and silly and light-hearted to read to leaven the seriousness of my ongoing work. I recalled seeing Louise Rennison's books back when I worked in a book store, and thought I'd track down the first in her series for my ereader. Well, that was not possible, since the publisher has decided to make only the third book (this one) and subsequent books available electronicall...more
The humor in these books is unparalleled. Do not read in public unless you want to be laughing like a loon for all to see. Georgia is so endearingly oblivious to her self-centered, superficial, player ways. From her lines about her Vati to her tales of Angus the Scottish half-Labrador cat to her boy-crazy musings, I just can't put these books down.

Always hilariously funny and intelligently witty, Louise Rennison does not disappoint with the third installment of her Georgia Nicolson series.
In this book Georgia is back and just happy to be the girlfriend of a ‘Sex God’. But Georgia begins to question her steadfast love for Robbie when she finds herself jealous of her friend and Dave the Laugh, her ex she used to make the ‘Sex God’ jealous in the previous book.

The movie 'Angus, Perfect Snogging and Thongs' made quite an impression on me. There were many recognizable, hilarious, crazy, deranged, embarrassing, sweet and realistic bits in it! After eyeing the book series for a while, I decided to give them a go. Though not as good as the movie, they were still a lot of fun.

i first read this series when i was about 11 years old and loved it. totally. now almost seven years later, it is a different sort of experience. reading georgia's diary entries is sorta like reading my own diary entries from the time had i kept a diary. not really when it comes to the details. that's not what i mean. it is more that feeling where you are both remembering how great and funny and carefree you were as a youth, but also shallow and foolish and idiotic. in hindsight, there's a bit o...more
This third installment to the Georgia Nicolson confessions is good and quite amusing, though I must say I didn’t like it as much as the first two installments. However, these books are certainly addictive. The scary thing is that I’m unconsciously adopting some of Georgia’s phrases. I caught myself thinking one day as I was sitting by the air conditioner, “It’s nippy noodles here!”…then found myself wondering, “Where did that come from?” Oh, so bleak! ;) I completely forgot that it came from thi...more
The first book was great. Totally, unexpectedly great. I think part of the reason it was so great is because it was fast passed, hilarious, and didn't slow down long enough to give me a reason to hate it. The second book was okay. A little slower than the first, not quite as many laughs, a bit more fixated on the SG than suits my taste. It wasn't until the end that I realized things were changing for this series in a bad way. The second book slows WAY down, and this book is even slower. It's onl...more

I really liked this book! It taught me about hiding secrets and holding them in. Not telling your loved ones about them!
I think Georgia keeps secrets inside her for to long. Like when she kissed Dave the Laugh (Ellen's Boyfriend) and she didn't tell her mate Ellen she only told Jas. Or she never told Robbie things how she felt. Like when she was sad or mad or upset with him.
Some secrets are personal which is a PERSONAL decision who to tell. But some secrets aren't yours they should be kept. I th...more

I love these books. Yes, the main character is shallow and vain and quite self-absorbed, but most teenage girls are to a certain extent, right? I love that despite these things, Georgia remains a lovable character, and we get to see the chinks in her armour, as it were. She really does love her parents, even though most of the time they annoy her half to death and do things she finds appalling. You didn't feel like that as a teenager?! I did! She cares about her friends. She makes mistakes that...more
Oh my goodness, Georgia is hilarious! Her journal starts right back where she left us banned from school and a Sex God's girlfriend. I think the best part of this is her ridiculous thoughts and sentences. And the fact that she is SO selfish that I don't think her friend Jas (who she talks to a lot) ever gets a full sentence in!

This Book was wildly hilarious, especially when Georgia is forced between her beloved Sex God and Dave the Laugh. Of course, she thinks she wants Robbie (SG), but whenever she's with him, she goes all jelloid and can't ever find the right words to say. With Dave the Laugh, it's different. She feels as though she can be herself and laugh a little, and Dave does this little nip libbling thing (Although, Georgia means lip nibbling).

The lower rating is not because this book was lesser than the others in the series, but more because I read the first three fairly close together and am now in the mood for a different sort of YA novel. So I plan to read the rest of the series, but perhaps not for awhile.

So in this book( the third Georgia Nicholson book ), Georgia is completely the same. She hasn't really developed any new personality. She is still daydreaming over her boyfriend Robbie "The Sex God", and how she wants to snog him. She just got back with her family from Oche Aye, Scotland, and right from the get-go she is obsessing over him. The usual "When is he going to call me back, I miss him, where is he".

The more I read these books, the more superficial I find them. Which is sad - but true - for almost everything that you worry about when you are younger :) I'm also finding that I'm not able to really "remember" what I'm reading, when I finish a section for the day/night. I'm not sure if it's the quick format/diary of the book - or perhaps - the fact that everything going on is very frivolous for a storyline. I can remember standout facts - like Angus is fixed now, or that Naomi is now pregnant...more
Knocked Out by My Nunga-Nungas by Louise Rennison was a great book to read for entertainment. This book tells the unfortunate events of Georgia Nicolson`s life as well as the great girly moments in life for Georgia. Georgia is a mildly upset teenage girl that likes to fantasize about kissing her boyfriend she calls the "sex god" and loves to exaggerate about how horrible her life is because she has to deal with her cat Angus who is also going through troubled times with his love, while her fami...more
