Summary: So Funny!
Review: I really loved this book. I was a big fan of the first two, so I was really excited when I saw that this one had come out! I was reading it in a bookstore and people were looking at me funny because I could not stop laughing! There are so many moments in this book that make you think, "Why can't my life be this exciting?" This truely was one of the funniest books I've ever read. I recommend this book to anyone who just wants a good laugh and a relief from reality! Both boys and girls would like this book because it isn't completely focused on girl talk and make-up. There are definately some moments that boys would appreciate, too. This is one book that is completely worth it's money!

Summary: okay.........
Review: i thought that the first two diaries were sooo funny and i loved to read them. but when i read this one i was actually a little bored. when she goes to scotland, and she is extremely bored and has nothing to do, do we really have to be as bored as she is? i skipped the whole scotland part just because it was a complete snore. the whole book was pretty boring and a little frustrating. georgias friend is soo mean to her and it doesnt seem to phase her. i dunno, i just thought that this book was a little under the author's level

Summary: How did this even get published?
Review: I've read the first two books in the series, and if this third one is any indication, we can't hope for much from any future installments.

Georgia has to be the most annoying, bratty, shallow, spoiled, selfish, cruel teenager that has ever been portrayed as the "hero" of a novel. She wasn't so bad in the first book. I noticed these tendencies getting worse in the second. In this book, it was awful.

The gimmick is getting old. I'm tired of seeing words like "maturiosity", "sophisticosity", and "bottomosity" (in fact, I'm not sure Georgia even knows that there are nouns that DON'T end in "-osity"). Hey, I've got a good word: "monstrosity"... that's what this book is. I had hoped that by the third book, the character would have grown and changed somehow. Not so. Georgia gets dumber and meaner.

I started reading the books in this series because I wanted to know why they were such top sellers. The first book explains it. Unfortunately, the momentum didn't continue, and now I feel like I've wasted my time with the other two books. Besides the fact that there's no story to this third book, Georgia isn't exactly a role model. According to her, anything that isn't related to makeup or making out is totally uncool. Georgia needs to grow up, and if the author isn't going to take charge and make that happen, she shouldn't be inflicting such mindless values on her readers.

There are much better books for teens out there.

Summary: Wonderfully light, ...laugh out loud...if you GET IT!
Review: In response to the reviewer from B.C... they had no idea of what they were saying.

Please, the next time you read a book, understand what your getting yourself into.

You should realize (from reading the first two books) that Georgia Nicholson, is a teenage girl. She is most certainly no role model, is completely self-centered, and makes judgments on everything, but in the end really wants to have a laugh with her mates.

Did you honestly think that a normal, British, teenage girl should be portrayed any other way? Were you looking for some kind of 7th-Heaven view on adolescence? Take it from me, a 14 year old living in middle class suburbia, that this is how paranoid, lip-gloss wearing, middle school girls act. And the best thing about the Georgia books is, you can laugh at all of us. Because this really is how we function and live our lives. Self-contiously, and scared.

You should have understood that going into reading a book about a teenage girl for God's sake. If you were looking for an angelic view... I suggest you look somewhere else.

To everyone else, this book rocked God's Pajama's it's fabbity fab fab fab, and needs to be read by everyone, take it from me, I had to get out of the house I was laughing so hard... check it out!

Summary: Away Laughing on a Fast Camel when i am reading this book!
Review: Louise Rennison's Georgia Nicholson is back and better than ever!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Just as Fabbity Fab Fab as its Predecessors
Review: Oh gosh, more utterly hilarious accounts from the crazy Georgia Nicholson! This is a great book for any girl, but boys beware! From Libby to the Sex God to her vacation in Scotland, this is a great book for any teenaged girl. I suggest that you do not read this book in public on account of consistent urges to laugh out loud from the crazy happenings of Georgia, the ace gang and of course the Sex God! Look for tennis, the Bummer Twins and Sex God sightings. I suggest that any and all teenagers read this book, even though it is not as good as its predecessors.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I'm Knocked Out!
Review: Our British friend Georgia Nicolson of Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging (Louise Rennison. New York: HarperCollins, 2000, c1999) fame is back, and she's as funny as ever! Having snagged the "sex god" in her second book, On the Bright Side, I'm Now the Girlfriend of a Sex God (Louise Rennison. New York: HarperCollins, c2001), she now finds that he is rarely around, and that she is also attracted to her old boyfriend "Dave the Laugh," who she "accidentally" winds up kissing. Meanwhile, the "elderly mad" keep embarrassing her with public displays of affection now that her father has returned from a business trip to New Zealand. Her baby sister Libby is still not toilet trained, or trained in any other way, shape, or form. Mr. and Mrs. Next Door, owners of Naomi the Burmese Sex Kitten and two terrorized poodles, have stepped up their campaign to get psycho kitty Angus neutered, and they just might get their way. Oh well, at least a gorgeous new French teacher encourages Georgia to improve her French grade as the faculty and students fall over themselves trying to impress him. She's still picking on her German teacher, and her poor friend Jas, who is stuck looking up Georgia's nose to see if the sex god would see a booger while resting his head in her lap. Less happens than in the last two books, but it is just as funny, and perfectly sets up the start of a fourth book which I await with anticipation usually reserved for Harry Potter books.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome book!
Review: Sadly 'Knocked Out By My Nunga-Nungas' was not only not as good as the first book in the series but not even the second.
Georgias time in Ouch Eye Land was borderline boring - where is that laugh a minuet humor? The story line with the parents is not nearly as interesting as in the past, same with Angus and Libby. Then we get to Jas - she has become highly annoying and stuck up, Im waiting for her and Tom to break up to bring her back to reality. "You have to let Jas rave on or you never get to talk about yourself" how many times have we heared Georgia say that?! And how many times have we un-caringly heared Jas go on? Too many thats for sure.
I did like the Dave The Laugh story line in this one, and most events that happened beyond P.70 were funny. I hope the fourth one doesnt continue the downwards spiral, I would hate to give a Louise Rennison book a 3/5.

Rating: 4 stars
