Summary: Laugh-out-loud Funny
Review: I took this on vacation with me and found it the perfect read. The only problem was sometimes as I'd read it on the Florida beach, I couldn't help laughing out loud and people would stare at me. The scene where Emily goes to a speculum party was one of the funniest things I've ever read.

The main character is absolutely adorable. She's so well drawn-- good-intentioned, but repeatedly screwing things up-- that I couldn't help rooting for her throughout the book.

My vacation was definitely more fun because I took this book along!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Book
Review: If you are a teenager, like myself, you will absolutely love this book just as i do! I highly recommend it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Katie takes on teendom and all its angst!!
Review: Katie Macalister - Queen of the first person proses - is not content with taking historical and contemporary romance by storm...she now takes on the trials and tribulations of being a teen. A transplanted one at that. A modern, hip Seattle 16 year old is uprooted and dropped into culture shock - to the very foreigner land of England. Done in the manner of email rants, it is funny musing on the difference in two cultures that share the same language, but somehow seem to mangle it in their own special way.

It is a marvel romp for teens, but everyone can have a wonderful laugh at this culture rip-lash diatribe.

There are more Emily rants to come, and I look forward to them. A breath of fresh air for teen reading.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: wait was it supposed it to be funny?
Review: Ok this book was NOT good. Maybe if you are 12 it might be good. I dont know. It was not funny. The writing was a complete rip-off of Louise Rennison's style. If you want to read a funny british-type comedy story read "angus, thongs and full frontal snogging." If you want to read 'loo' make sure you borrow it. DONT make the mistake of buying it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good...but not 4 everyone
Review: this book is funny but some parts just arnt for some ppl, like me. it was great in e-mail form, great story line, great characters, just some of the places Em went and some of the things she did, just didnt have 2 have so much detail. but the book was good and i cant wait 2 read "what they wear under their kilts"
