A new Sex God has arrived! Georgia spend all of 2 second mourning the departure of Robbie, until she meets the new lead singer of the Stiff Dylans. Apparently she has a thing for lead singers. Or maybe she just has a thing for boys in genreal, since she also accidentally snog Mark Big Gob (ewwww) and Dave and Laugh (awwww). Oh to be a teenaged girl, surrounded by fit boys on all sides. That's sure not how I remember high school... ( )

This series is fantastic, super funny and quick to read. ( )

First, best book title ever! Don't you want to use that in a conversation one day?

"So, what did you do over Christmas break?

Oh, I was away laughing on a fast camel."

Anyway, I thought this was a bit less fun than the previous ones but that might be due to too much time in Georgia's self-absorbed head. This story feels a bit like filler with Georgia just feeling moody about Robbie/Sex God away in New Zealand until Masimo arrives in town. I also feel like there are way too many "osity" words and too many references to Hitler, Jesus, and Georgia's obsession with lesbians/who's gay or not.

Still, there are some fun moments! Georgia having to dance blindly to the bathroom because her false eyelashes have blinded her comes to mind. Ooh, Dave the Laugh is a hormone-driven mess, but I'm glad he threw hands at Mark. ( )

Robbie has left for Kiwi-a-gogo-land, and Georgia knows she'll never be happy again. At least, until the new lead singer for the Stiff Dylans, Masimo, otherwise known as the Italian Stallion, lands. Oo-er. ( )

This was my first experience in the world of Georgia Nicolson, and I absolutely loved it!

Georgia and her friends have a unique way of speaking; a curious mix of slang, a dash of francais, and some phrases that even require a glossary at the end as some of them were created specifically by Georgia and the "ace gang."

This is the fifth book in a series of novels written in the style of Georgia's diary as we experience her daily life through her eyes. Along with Georgia and her friends' lives, she is also documenting the life of the family cat, Angus, and all his wild antics. Apparently, in previous books, Angus has found himself a lady love and now there are kittens in the mix. Along with good old Angus, we meet his son, Gordy, cross-eyed and just as crazy as his father.

The best way to describe Georgia's family would be kooky, especially the way she describes them, but how accurate is a teen girl's impression of her parents? Still, it makes for some fun reading. We see Georgia dealing with family, cats, her friends, and of course boys, the great mystery to the teen girl. As of this book, Georgia has just lost her first steady boyfriend to the call of the kiwi (he is off in New Zealand) and is in a bit of a funk. That funk lasts just long enough for her favorite band to find a new lead singer, an Italian-American lad named Masimo.

From there, as Georgia would say, things become vair vair amusent. ( )
