Hilarious! This is probably the second funniest book in the series (the first being "Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging.") Georgia's recount of her trip to Memphis was so over-the-top that I am tempted to believe Louise Rennison was making it all up....having never been to Memphis, I really
In any case, this book will make you long for a pair of "comedy cowgirl horns" and you might even want to get your own "Ace Gang" together to do your own version of the Horn Dance. Provided you can stop laughing for long enough.

can't tell. In this installment, young Georgia begins dating Lurve God Masimo, makes a mockery out of Macbeth, copes with the antics of Angus and his offspring Gordy, taunts Jas, does battle with Wet Lindsay, and most surprising of all, hears from her first boyfriend Robbie in Australia. What does he want? Will Masimo commit to having Georgia as his steady girlfriend? Why does Dave the Laugh keep snogging her when they are supposed to be just friends?In any case, this book will make you long for a pair of "comedy cowgirl horns" and you might even want to get your own "Ace Gang" together to do your own version of the Horn Dance.

This book i found extremely funny. Georgia, her family, and best friend visit the States. She searches for Mosimo there but fails. Then, when she returns home she runs into him. After he shows interest in her she decides she wants something serious but, other factors are making this very difficult.

The Georgia Nicolson Series by Louise Rennison is one of my favorite series of all time. The first book in the series is called Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging, this book will keep you laughing at every turn. The first time I remember reading on the back “Do not read in public, you will

? (It's the series that never ends!)
Georgia Nicolson is a self-absorbed, British teenager who keeps a diary detailing her life in all its glorious angst(think Bridget Jones for teens). Her parents are mad and her friends just do not realize that Georgia is indeed the center of the known universe. She's got a cat who is half Scottish wildcat and a little sister who is only partially potty-trained. Georgia thinks about boys constantly and treats them kind of like Lays potato chips (you can't kiss just one).
She accidentally shaves off her eyebrows, goes to a party dressed as a stuffed olive, and has problems with nipple control. Nevertheless, she manages to attract the attention of Robbie the Sex-God, Dave the Laugh (who coins many funny phrases like piddly-diddly department and away laughing on a fast camel), and Masimo the Dreamboat. Georgia suffers from a severe case of what Dave the Laugh calls "the Cosmic Horn" and can't seem to settle down with just one boyfriend.
Georgia gets herself into one hilarious predicament after another. While this series isn't exactly classic literature, I dare you to read it without laughing out loud.

Featuring a vair amusant trip to Hamburger-a-go-go land, and the development of Georgia's relationship with her new Luurrve God, Masimo, this latest installment of the confessions of Georgia Nicolson was a very entertaining read. I just do not get tired of her.

Then He Ate My Boy Entrancers (Confessions of Georgia Nicolson, 6) - Louise Rennison 14-18 All of the Georgia Nicolson books are hilarious, but I like what else they say about being a teen. Georgia has really three guys who are interested in her during this book, and she spends a lot of time trying
Show More
to decide whether she can be with one or any of them. Her life is ups and downs, but she always has her friends to support her and give her "wisdom". She has a busy social life, but she also spends a lot of her time with her loony family. In this book, Georgia and her family go to Hamburger-a-Go-Go Land (or the United States) to a car convention. In typical Georgia fashion, she believes all of the United States is a short bus ride away, and tries to get on the bus to visit her potential boyfriend in Manhattan (from Memphis). A lot of her behavior is typical teen behavior, making you cringe, and yet read on to see what trouble Georgia will get into next. These books are warm coming-of-age stories, with trauma galore, but a good sense of humor about it. I will definitely continue to read in this series. Show Less

Book #6 in the Georgia Nicolson phenom. Silly but fun, as they all are. This one featured a trip to the USA, although only a short portion of the book actually took place there. I would've liked to have seen Georgia spend a little more time in America -- read some more about Hamburger-a-gogo land

from her viewpoint -- but it really only comprised a couple chapters. I did like Dave the Laugh's role in this one, though. He's turning into my favorite character, I think! Show Less

This series of books are really interesting and i really enjoyed them. They are a lot of fun and interesting.

Another installment in the wacky life of Georgia Nicholson. I love the way these books are paced - each one taking just a small portion of a year. I still marvel at the consistency of the craziness that is Georgia. It would be so easy and understandable if this book was uneven - but instead Georgia
I was a teensy bit disappointed that the trip to the US didn't take more space in the book -but it was all still good and funny.

I really luuuurve this series. Rennison captures what it's like to be a spazzy young teenage girl. The trip in the middle of the book to Hamburgeragogoland was very funny. The whole thing with Massimo reminds me of something I nearly went through (though as a freshman in college). I opted instead

I discovered the Georgia Nicholson series by Louise Rennison many years ago with the first in the series, Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging. To meet Georgia is to love her, even if she is mouthy and chock full of teenaged attitude. In this installment, Georgia is as boy crazy as ever.
Georgia is her usual funny, snarky self on the brief trip to Memphis with her family and best friend Jas. She's as demeaning as ever towards her parents and her friends. And the secondary characters continue to let her ride roughshod over them, somewhat inexplicably. Jas is so wrapped up in boyfriend Tom and his trip to New Zealand that she is occasionally oblivious to Georgia's continual crises over Masimo and the state of their maybe relationship. Dave the Laugh is there for Georgia with friendship and advice when she needs him although she can't see what else he's offering her. Basically, Georgia's still self-centered, annoying, and a stereotypical teenager but since she's fictional, she's as entertaining as all get out. If she was real (and my child), I might have to smack her spoiled, selfish little self with a shovel. As she's not, I'm looking forward to the next installment in the series to see if she's grown up any and how she's handling the small bit of self-knowledge she comes to by the end of the story.

Robbie, the Sex God of previous books is in New Zealand so Georgia has changed her focus to Masimo, the gorgeous Italian-American boy (the Luuurve God) who can't seem to decide between Georgia and Wet Lindsay. He's visiting America and his family there when the book opens so it's terrifically exciting when Georgia's dad announces that they too are going to Hamburger-a-gogo land for a car show.

This series is fantastic, super funny and quick to read.

Ultimately, not a lot happens in this story and nothing is truly resolved; it is just a weeks-long snapshot of the life of an English 16-year-old girl. The pleasure comes from Georgia's narrative voice and her highly idiosyncratic use of the Queen's English (if such it can be called). Think "Bertie
