The hilariosity continues as Georgia attempts to wade through her sham of a life and broken heartidness. Just when she begins to fear that she will have to become a lezzie, Georgia meets the Italian Stallion, Masimo, new lead singer of the Stiff Dylans. After three books, Away laughing on a fast camel takes readers back to Angus's roots with laugh out loud wit and charm.

Robbie, the Sex God, is off to Kiwi-a-go-go land to snog sheep and write songs good for slitting one's wrists to, and Georgia is full of sadnosity, so much so that she even gets to #8 with Mark Big Gob (good grief!). But do not fear, the new Lurve God is on the horizon - half-Italian/half-American Masimo with a fancy purse in his hand. Let the hunt begin!

This novel is a contemporary realistic fiction, intended for the intermediate to the advanced age groups. It has made it amazon's customer favorite list. In this novel we revisit the Georgia after her boyfriend Robbie has left her to go to another country. Georgia is upset and dramatic as usual, that is until she meets Masimo. I gave this book four stars because it is quite amusing. There is humor throughout the novel and a play with words such as when Georgia said she couldn't sleep because sh

Summary: more confessions, same story, same characters. Oh, excuse me, there is a new character, Massimo, the new lead singer of the Stiff Dylans. Of course, he's creamy dreamy, of course Georgia falls madly in love, but whenever she is around him, all she can think of is...nothing. Her mind goes out the window.

I have to say that two of my all time favourite moments of the series are contained within this book. For that reason alone, I think that this book is more than worht a read. Georgia's attempt to get over Robbie's departure to Kiwi-a-gogo land is fabulous. I love Georgia's misery, she's so dramatic with it.

This fifth installment in the hilarious Confessions of Georgia Nicolson series is yet another brilliant burst of "hilariosity", filled with classic teenage girl troubles, the suffix "-osity" that follows words like "wisdom" and "hilarious", British slang, and boys. Although Georgia thinks poorly of herself and is always putting herself down about her beauty, she still manages to attract numerous boys, and she often ends up in a "snog-fest". This

By the time I got to the end of this book - I will admit - I was starting to just skim some of the diary entries! It's not that the author isn't hilarious - she is! It's just that I'm pushing through all books in the series, and it's starting to get a little "pointless"; especially when it feels like there really isn't a good plot line going on (besides the Sex Maniac now). The funny thing is - I think this is the whole point of the series. To see how "pointless" all the litt

This is such an incredibly funny and honest series of books. Even on the re-read I found myself laughing out loud at parts. It is intriguing that a heroine as self-centered as Georgia can be so endearing, but it's hard not to love her even when she is acting an utter prat. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a quick read and an easy laugh.

I checked this out from the library only to take a glance at the first page and realize I had already read it. These Georgia Nicolson books are like malted milk balls. They're delicious, but you forget how many you've eaten because they all taste the same.

Georgia is a selfish brat yet I can't help laughing at her view about the world.
Indonesian translator has done a good job. Thanks to her, I use the words "departemen pipis nipis", "nunga-nunga", "put-put", "centil pentil" daily.

I really loved Book 5 even though I was kind of disappointed by the sudden turn of events (i.e. Masimo!). I am very clearly a huge fan of Dave the Laugh and I am frustrated that he and Georgia are just "mates." But the thing is, the writing is amazing. I love Louise Rennison. Even when things are not going well for Georgia, the story is a pleasure to read and I find myself still laughing out loud and cracking up along the way. And so much of what she writes about is so universal for gi

I'm getting old, aren't I? I can tell this would be the sort of book I probably would have enjoyed if I were ten years younger, but, uh, I think I'm just too old now.
I think it's the style of the book and the language that threw me. For one thing, the book is written in a diary style (March 1st 1:15 PM, April 5th 12:15 AM and so on), but it's also written as though it's occurring at that moment.

"Away laughing on a fast camel" is as hilarious as ever! This time Robbie the Sex God has left for Kiwi agogo land to snog sheep leaving Georgia all alone on her owney. Have no fear, another Sex God, or a Sex Meister, has landed! New to town and the new lead singer of the Stiff Dylans Masimo is both sexy and exotic. Georgia uses the power of her boy entrancers to get his attention, but can she really land a second sex god?

I listened to this in the car on a family trip and I think my husband was annoyed at how much time I spent laughing out loud. I continue to love Louise Rennison's books, especially audio versions, and the author herself narrated this one, which was different, but I loved it still.

This had to be the funniest one in the series, in my opinion.
Now that the Sex God has left for New Zealand, Georgia is heartbroken and vows to show full glaciosity to boys from now on. That is, until she hears about the new lead singer for the Stiff Dylans. Another Sex God, this time of Italian-American descent named Masimo. And he seems to be utterly gorgeous, from the descriptions in the book and the fact that all of the teenage girls are ogling him.

This book is clearly not a literary masterpiece, but despite that fact I thoroughly enjoyed it. The novel takes the form of a daily diary written by the main character, Georgia Nicolson. The novel is highly comedic and made me laugh out loud several times. I found that while a lot of hilarious things happen to Georgia I didn't feel like they were too over-contrived by the author. Away Laughing on a Fast Camel is simply an entertaining and easy read. The audio book was a highly amusing and just

The sex god has flown off to 'kiwi-a-go-go' land, and Georgia is all alone. Well...all alone surrounded by fitties. Now that Robbie's gone, Georgia feels bored and heartbroken. But it doesn't take long before she explores her options with other boys. Dave the Laugh's got a new girlfriend named Rachel. But he continues to make Georgia's lips crave a snog and some lip-nibbling. And now there's Masimo, the new lead singer for The Stiff Dylans and an Italian hottie who makes Georgia go all jelloid.

In this volume of the diaries of Georgia Nicolson, her boyfriend has gone off to Kiwi-a-gogo land and Georgia is left with a big hole in her heart until she meets the new lead singer for the Stiff Dylan’s band. With Dave the Laugh as her Cosmic Horn advisor (and part-time snogging partner), Georgia sets out on quest to capture the heart of the half-Italian, half-American, and 100% gorgey Massimo.

Oh boy! The pairing of Molto Masimo and the Robin Reliant—Mr. Bean’s car nemesis—is so wacky and crazy. How bleak can these stories get? It’s perfect! I love reading about all of the love troubles in this book. Even Angus isn’t safe and has to fight for “Naomi against her new suitor, Manky… [Naomi’s new] bit of rougher.”

Fun, funny, silly, and tres amusant, this fifth installment of the Confessions of Georgia Nicolson just keeps being the same amount of fun. I was going to say that it keeps getting better, but that's not exactly true. It gets a little bit more unbelievable, as apparently no matter how much weird stuff Georgia does or says, people in her life still seem to adore her, especially boys. It has been my experience that the average-looking, funny girl (no matter what the size of her nunga-nungas, does

It's been a long time since I read the previous 4 novels in this series, but I forgot just how hilarious they are. I was laughing out loud uncontrollably and Matt was getting sick of hearing my giggles erupt every 2 minutes. But I couldn't help it...Georgia is so silly, yet witty and has a good heart. I love all her made up words that describe the situation perfectly. I'm looking forward to reading the next 4 in the series. :)

Wow. I had totally forgotten just how funny these books are since this one took so long to come at the library. It's been just ages since I read the first few. But I, of course, loved this one. It was so funny. I was laughing my head off the whole time. I absolutely loved it. I totally can't wait to read the next one! I'll never again leave that big of a gap in my reading of this wonderful series.

In this book, the fifth book in the Georgia Nicolson series, not many things happen.
There is more rambling, more nonsense, and quite a few hilarious moments.
Two boys are pursued-
Dave the Laugh, who Georgia is falling in love with even if she doesn't want to admit it.
Masimo, the new lead singer for The Stiff Dylans. He is also Robbie's replacement. He is Italian. Georgia is also falling for him.

What does this title have to do with the story? I don't know. It's another Bridget Jones type candy book. I don't like the author's voice on the audio CD either. It's not a horrible book but I enjoyed Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging the best. I really enjoyed Sue Limb's books much more than these.
