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 a 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.

Some favorite bits:

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.
I realized that so far there has been no real plot to the series: G More...

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 beca More...

Reviewed by Moirae the fates book reviews.

Georgia Nicolson is now the girlfriend of the Sex God (aka Robbie), and things are wonderful. Except her loony parents are dragging her off to Och Aye land (aka Scotland), and the Sex God's band's chance at a record contract has left her something of a "pop widow."

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!
Poor Georgia! Being a teenager is tough enough with all the worry of lurking lurkers, ear snogging, nunga nunga protectors!
Her parents are still stark raving mad lunatics bent on making her life miserable.

Beth rated it:

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.

Hannah rated it:

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.

Kat rated it:

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 More...

For my full review please visit my blog: http://shadowsireview.blogspot.com/2011/...

The hilariosity continues in book three of the Georgia Nicolson series. There are plenty more laugh out loud moments just waiting for you in this book. The quality of the writing is once again magnificent. A couple of things missed the editing process but my brain automatically corrected them. In fact the only reason I noticed is because doing this blog has made me more aware of stuff like that.

Sandy rated it:

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.

Dave the Laugh is my favorite YA mate of all time, and one of my favorite Dave the Laugh scenes is in this book. (Oh, that clown nose! More...

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...

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 t 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 mistake 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!

In the ever mind changing pace of a teenager, while Georgia is so happy to be SG's girlfriend (swoon, and let us think about the snogging) she also may possib More...

Delaney rated it:

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).

I love this series, and I'm going to start the fourth More...

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.

In this installment of The Confessions of Georgia Nicolson series, Georgia is finally the official girlfriend (OG) of Robbie (The Sex God). However, despite this "achievement" in her life, she still has feeli More...

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 no More...

Combined review of the first four books in this series: My roommate owns the first four Georgia Nicholson books, and I picked the first one up to be bathroom reading, and then found myself zipping through the rest of the collection, too. They're embarrassingly Bridget Jones Lite, the diary entries of a 14-year-old British girl who's endearingly-and-sometimes-irritatingly superficial. I could actually FEEL my brain cells jumping ship as I read these things, but they're JUST charming and silly eno More...

Probably the silliest book out of the three that I read in the Georgia Nicolson’s series, the story begins with Georgia leaving for Scotland with her family for a short vacation. Though the announcement was made that they will not be moving to New Zealand, Georgia is still unable to relax at all during the vacation because of an obvious paranoia that Robbie, the Sex God, will forget she exists. She’s more than happy to return home and enjoy a good snog with her boyfriend. Most of this book deal More...

Georgia's life is pretty amazing. She is the girlfriend of a sex god and her mates are as brilliant as ever. Then Her family makes her go to Scotland where a local boy tries to feel her up and her best friend basically calls her easy. Then when she gets home she never talks to Robbie and her mate Dave the laugh starts looking like quite the catch. Is a Sex God really worth it if he is never around anymore?

The book was about a young girl going through the trials of a teenager. She is embarrased by her large nunga-nungas(breasts), is the girl friend of a Sex God named Robbie, and is concerned with hanging out with her friends from school. Georgia does not like her parents that much because they embarrase her. She is mainly concerned with making sure she does not snog(kiss) more than one boy. I think that this book would be good for children who are starting to go through puberty.

Can't see how no-one in the other reviews I read didn't get the slang in the book. It's so easy to understand and makes it hilarious. Loving the fraser nunga nungas haha.

I'm not the dumb young teen and I love this book - in 17 and it still appeals to me cause I know what it was like to be georgias age and have embarresing parents etc.
It doesn't appeal to older generation cause they were brought up differently to georga.

Loving the series and going to read till the end

It's been awhile since I met up with Georgia Nicolson, the heroine of Louise Rennison's series that began with Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging. She's still as funny and self-obsessed as ever--she is fourteen after all and currently dating a Sex God (referred to in her diary as SG). We see her life through these brief diary snippets and lots of British teen slang (there's a nice glossary in the back for those of us who are from Hamburger-a-gogo land). In this latest installment, Georg More...
