Summary: funny--makes a great gift!
Review: I bought all three books for my cousin for Christmas. I read a little before I gave them to her and just about died laughing. They are great for pre-teens on up to the 30's croud.

Summary: Best to get both versions
Review: I discovered the wonderful Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging and its sequel It's OK, I'm Wearing Really Big Knickers (aka On the Brighter Side, I'm Now the Girlfriend of a Sex God) here in the States. Eager for more, I turned to my British sources for paperbacks of this book and Dancing in My Nuddy-Pants to complete the set.
Knocked Out By My Nunga-Nungas is the least of the four books, but it is still much better than many of the "young adult" books on the market these days. It's really a set-up to "Nuddy-Pants" - in fact, it's best to read the two books in immediate succession, as "Nunga-Nungas" ends on a surprise that makes you want to read more.
Speaking of surprises, I was browsing through a bookshop not long ago and made a remarkable discovery: the American version of the book is quite different from the British one.
We're not talking "weed out the Briticisms" different, as fans of the book well know (the series is so irretrievably British that American copies have a glossary in the back). Instead, it seems that, in the year or so between the British publications and the American, Rennison made another set of revisions to the text. For example, the American version omits all references to Cousin James visiting the family in Scotland, and includes a subplot wherein Georgia must "play mother" to an egg for class.
It's too hard to say which version of the book is better. Rennison's wit is clearer in the American version, but the tacks on a page and a half of pointless rambling to the end of the book that greatly lessen the impact of the original ending.

Best I can recommend: get both the British and American versions - then you won't miss a thing!

Summary: Knocked out by her Humor!
Review: I found this book hilarious! It was very well written and very understandable! I have read other reviews from her other books in the series from adults and they dont like it which is why i think that these books are mostly for teenagers. Adults tend to find Georgia rude and disgusting. They dont understand that the books are supposed to be fun and the rudeness is the funny part!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AWESOME BOOK!!!!!!
Review: I have always been a huge fan of the series, and have litterally been waiting and waiting for what has seemed like ETERNITIES to get this boook!!! And i do think that it was deffinatly worth the wait! It is a bit shorter than the rest, but with this ending you are safely assured another book in the series. Me and my friends love this series, and we even act as the characters in the book and assume some of the titles, like i'm Georgia and my best friend is Jas. It is a wonderful and hilarious british series and i recommend it for all teen girls, It is simply fabbity fab fab fab in the words of Georgia herself!!!!

lots of luuuuuuuurve,
*Gee-Zee (Georgie-Zoe)

Ps~ Did u know that the british title is acctaully "It's OK, I'm Wearing Really Big Knickers? But they changed it for us "Hamburger-a-gogo" folks, because we don't use the term knickers!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another Great Book
Review: I have read the first two books about Georgia Nicolson and I have enjoyed all three. I don't normally like to read, but I have finished each book so far in less than 3 days each. I am getting ready to read the 4th one. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to read a good book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: HILLARIOUS
Review: I loooved this book. It was not as good as the first two but still as funny just the same. I laughed so hard because I can totally relate to her. My favorite part was when you explained Georgia's mice- I made all of my friends read it and we were all laughing!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hilarious series!
Review: I love a book that makes you laugh. This entire series of books made me laugh. I love her style of writing. It's very cute and realistic, thinking just like a real preteen/teen would see herself. I especially enjoy the glossaries at the back of the books. I believe the first book I read said it was for girls age 8 and up. I feel there are a few to many sexual references for it to be appropriate for anyone under 12, but thats just my opinion.

Thanks for reading, Liz

Summary: Wow
Review: I love this book. It is funny and totally amazing. No book really caught my attention like this one. The glossary totally helped me figure out all of the words. Of course I knew what knickers were, but when Uncle Eddy sang agadoo, i had to look back in the glossary. I read all three of the books, and I'm looking forward to the third one!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Laugh out loud, but for not as long as the others
Review: I loved this book, just as I have loved all of the other grogia books. It's so easy to relate to Georgia, because i face the same sort of problems, so does every other teenage girl! The book was considerably shorter then the other books, but I'm sure that the sequel to this book will compensate for that (atleast I hope!) Overall, a good read.
