Rennison keeps the humor going throughout all of the books and kept me interested. ( )Lightweight and funny, although I am sure the world will be glad to know that it did not, as the blurb promises, make me laugh my knickers off. As a middle age mother, this title alone should be offensive. In fact, there is nothing politically correct about Georgia Nicolson. She is crass, self depreciating and an overall brat. But I can relate. In fact, Georgia is my daughter and I was her a few decades ago. I really wanted to dislike this book. I expected to write a review based on how the main character is not a role model and teenage girls should stay clear of this series. Maybe they should. As for me, I laughed out loud at one entry after another. Very cute, funny read. Reminded me a lot of "15, Charming but Insane." Great for a quick easy read or to get your mind off your troubles! Will read the rest of the series. ITS RELI GOOD .. U SHOULD ALL READ IT WHEN UR NOT WITH UR BOYFRIENDS/GIRLFRIENDS OR MATES! :D 0.064 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com (ISBN 0060521848, Paperback)She has a precocious 3-year-old sister who tends to leave wet nappies at the foot of her bed, an insane cat who is prone to leg-shredding "Call of the Wild" episodes, and embarrassing parents who make her want to escape to Stonehenge and dance with the Druids. No wonder 14-year-old Georgia Nicolson laments, "Honestly, what is the point?" A Bridget Jones for the younger set, Georgia records the momentous events of her life--and they are all momentous--in her diary, which serves as a truly hilarious account of what it means to be a modern girl on the cusp of womanhood. No matter that her particular story takes place in England, the account of her experiences rings true across the ocean (and besides, "Georgia's Glossary" swiftly eradicates any language barriers).The author, Louise Rennison, is a British comedy writer and it shows. Whether Georgia is dealing with wearing a bra ("OK, it's a bit on the loose side and does ride up round my neck if I run for the bus"), pondering kissing and how to know which way to turn your head ("You don't want to be bobbing around like pigeons for hours"), or managing the results of an overzealous eyebrow-plucking episode ("Obviously, now I have to stay in forever"), she always cracks us up. Georgia struggles with the myriad issues facing teen girls--boys, of course being at the forefront--but she does it with such humor and honesty it almost seems like a good time. This refreshingly funny book is ripe for a sequel, which readers will await in droves. (Ages 11 and older). --Brangien Davis (retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:57:51 -0400) The first test round has been closed. Visit the Open Shelves Classification group for details. |
