Rating: Summary: A novel of true magnificence. Review: This book about a 14 year old girl, her strange parents, annoying little sister and fun friends will make you die lauphing!The plot is engrossing and fascinating. It is filled with wonderful , apropriate humor that kids probably 10 and over could understand. Her problems with older boys, back stabbing friends and getting revenge are realistic and easy to relate to. Read this book and you won't regret it!
Rating: Summary: Good read! Review: This book is a wonderful read for anyone that is looking for a laugh out loud. The author describes a typical teenager's life in this book. I found the main character's cat, Angus, hiliarious. Also, in this book many of the words were British, therefore a dictionary in the back is located for your convience. Try it-- I loved it
Rating: Summary: Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging was hystarical ! Review: I thought that Angus,Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging was great ! It was so funny, and somewhat bizarre. I thought Louise Rennison did a great job writing this book. Georgia is so much like teenage girls, yet so different that it's a perfect balance. I had to look in her glossary a lot, because the language was different, but all in all I thought this book was awesome !
Rating: Summary: i'm a brit Review: ok so i am british, well english anyway an i love these books, bein 17 i am slightly too old to read them but who cares i have been doing so for years and think they are the funniest books ever. that is ofcourse if you are looking for a nice easy read to laugh out load to, the whole series is great especialy it's ok i'm wearing really big knickers - the second book, you meet dave the laugh much better for her than SG. the funniest moments out of the four books are too many to recount but include such hilarious moments as going to a fancy dress party as a stuffed olive and being wheeled home in a wheelbarrow after spraining her anckle oh and did i mention the fish party. just one pointer though dont read it in front of people who will constantly ask you what your laughing at because beleive me by the end of the first few pages you'll be crying with laughter. this story mirrors all teenage girls lives without being like most of ours at all, any guys reading this review trust me if you ever want to know the complexitites of how a girl thinks read these books we may not act the same a Georgia but we do do it occassionaly, or a lot more than that normally. anyway brilliant books cant wait for the next one to come out...
Rating: Summary: For that English humour in all of us... Review: I loved this book. It was a Princess Diaries for the English mind. Although Georgia Nicolson is very different from Mia Thermopolis, they both tell us every square detail of their lives and leave nothing out. This book was very enjoyable, and even included an English/American golossary in the back, for us clueless American folk. I am now starting the second book "On the Bright Side, I'm Now the Girlfriend of a Sex God", and i can't wait wait to read the next two. Although this book is great, I'd have to say that i liked the Princess Diaries a smidge more. Maybe it was because I'm just a stubborn American, but this series is also worth reading. Splendid!
Rating: Summary: Hilarious and Entertaining Review: This has got to be one of the best teen books around! I am only eleven but I still think it's awesome. It's just about a normal teenage girl in the UK, and you can see how just a normal story is awesome! It's like a note passed from your best friend with the latest gossip. It was extremely fun to read and once you pick it up, you can't put it down. I highly recommed it.
Rating: Summary: Oh boy... Review: I'm not one to be reading girly books like this. One day my friend told me that I should read this series of books because she thought they were hilarious. So, naturally, I did. And I loved it. This book is amazing. So hilarious. It's one of those books that no matter where you stop, there's always a cliff hanger, so you never want to put it down. It took me one day to read this book, then I had the rest of the series the next day. They're all amazing. I'd recommend reading them anyday.
Rating: Summary: I agree with yáll! A wunnerful book! Review: I finaly found a book that guarentees zillions of laughs. I mean, only a barren wouldnt laugh at the so-called confessions of Georgia Nicolson. It brings you to what she struggles in life and what she can do to make things worse--or bad for herself. The one flaw of the novel is that when you Re-read, you cant get the same laugh twice. You already laughed it out of your system so the book sounds pointless when you decide to pick it up again. THe laughter might die out, but not the book alltogether. Buy it or check it out at your local library and see what I mean!
Rating: Summary: Huge Disappointment Review: (...) this book was an incredible disappointment. First of all, it wasn't funny. At all. I don't think it's possible to describe exactly how not-funny it was. Just stringing together as many British slang words as you can think up and adding the occasional reference to "knickers" and "snogging" to keep readers interested does not make good humor. It doesn't make any humor. This book reads like a glorified laundry list. "Got up. Snogged Sex God. He is so Sex Godly. I think my eyebrows are hairy. Boo-hoo. Parents suck. Sister sucks. Best friend sucks. Everyone sucks. I want to die." I understand that Rennison isn't exactly going for depth here but if comedy's what she's trying for, where is it? I didn't laugh (or smile) once.Then of course, there's the ridiculous "heroine", the "stupid" best friend and the big, bad parents. Aren't books supposed to attempt to make you like the hero/heroine? Georgia is not only the most dislikable snot I've ever read about or met in my life but also so one-dimensional, it's almost (almost is the key word here) funny. Is she not capable of human emotion (except for the passing urge to snog her Sex Godly boyfriend)? How can she possibly hate her parents, her best friend and her sister at the same time?!?! And the constant fussing about her eyebrows, her lips, her nose, her...everything is beyond annoying: it's just silly after a point. The relentless barrage of redundant diary entries that are the exact same things with some words interchanged are not very amusing either.. And don't give me the "Oh but you're probably a bitter old lady with seventy-five cats who doesn't understand the complex inner-workings of the teenage mind." I'm 13 years old and I've never met a teenager (or for that matter, a human) who is nothing more than a one-sided mishmash of arrogance, ignorance and materialism. Georgia is nothing more than a disgustingly obvious teenage sterotype, sugar-coated with lots of snogging and underwear references. Oh yeah, and it's BORING--the cardinal sin of teen fiction. Teenage girls can do better than this. A lot better.
Rating: Summary: The Title Tells it All! Review: This book is reallistic fiction that makes you wonder "why would anyone be that stupid?" It is a good story, in the form of a diary, that tells all about Georgia and her moments with, guys, kissing (snogging), girls in thongs, Angus (her half domestic half wild cat!), and her crazy cousin! Have fun reading this book, I know I did.
