Dancing in my Nuddy-Pants, Louise Rennison, 0-06-009746-9

"Georgia thought she had finally put her "red-bottomosity" to rest when she chose Robbie the Sex God over Dave the Laugh, but now she's not so sure. Is she doomed to be a pop-star widow, or will she take her own bottom firmly in hand? As always, in this fourth book about Georgia's angst-filled confessions, nothing ever turns out as planned!"
Taking place in her home land of England, Georgia's back again in the fourth book in her series, bringing along her wacky adventures of living as an English teen. As you read the series, you will get to know Georgia's character, she a bit of everything ;spontaneous, out going, funny, rude, self-obsessed, difficult, but most of all, she has a good heart. But now, time has gone by and Georgia has learned to mature up, or has she? No, not a chance, Georgia is the same crazy girl she has always been, with the exception of having a Sex god (a.k.a. Robbie) for a boyfriend. All was going well until Robbie had to travel around to promote his record. With Robbie away Georgia is left alone, boyfriend-less, while her friends go out with their boyfriends. Georgia secretly starts to actually have feelings for her ex-boyfriend, Dave the Laugh. This can't be possible, Dave the Laugh is going out with her friend Ellen. Georgia's way of trying to settle things, never turns out as planned! This genre is non-fiction narrative, but it's hilarious. It takes you along on the bazaar journey of Georgia Nicolson's English life.
Dancing in my Nuddy-Pants was a real page turner because every page leads you to a funny event that is going to occur to Georgia, and you'll just want to keep on finding out what bad thing is going to happen to her next. The author makes Georgia seem like a normal person, but the some of the events that happen to her are so embarrassing and hilarious at the same time, that it makes Georgia's life seem so unbelievable, and it even makes you want to be embarrassed for her. The style of writing the author uses is very creative, it's written as if it were Georgia's diary which makes even more fun to read. I really recommend this book to girls that are in seventh grade or older, and that have a good sense of humor. I think it's a great book for all girls, whether they like reading or not. I think no matter how much you don't like to read, this book will really get to you, and you'll end up liking it.

Summary: Georgia's journals continue to entertain
Review: Another fun and quick read but with a wee bit more maturity from Georgia. It's been fun to watch her and her friends grow. The ending was a wonderful call back to the previous book. Near the end of the book I found the story dragging a bit but not to the point that I loss interest or wanted to put the book down.

Summary: So Funny!
Review: Georgia is back and still funny :) I love these books and am so proud of Rennison for delivering sequals that are as funny, and in the case of the 2nd book On the Bright Side, I'm Now the Girlfriend of A Sex God funnier, sequals. One of my favorite scenes from this book is when Georgia's brain is racing because she is having coffee with her sex god and she is trying to avoid the santa claus mustache effect by drinking "like a hampster at Hammy's" .... yet another classic, go Rennison!

Summary: Nuddy Pants
Review: I cant decide if I want to give this book three or four stars. Compared to other young adult books it deserves four, but as part of Rennison's series I would only give it a measly three.
It is more serious than the rest, and I only laughed a total of three times as opposed to several laughs per page in the first instalment. The books in this series have been gradually getting worse and worse.
Hopefully with the near release of 'Away Lauging On A Fast Camel' the un-answered questions in 'Nuddy Pants' will be answered. Plus there has been a slight break between the release of 'Nuddy Pants' and 'Away Lauging' hopefully giving Rennison time to think of more ideas.
All in all it wasnt a bad book, but it didnt shine like some of its predecessors.
