Stop in the Name of Pants!

One of my friends (Christy? Yes.) said that she couldn't believe Louise Rennison's book-people let her get away with a cliffhanger ending like that. I didn't think it was that bad. (But after [b:Catching Fire|6148028|Catching Fire (Hunger Games, #2)|Suzanne Collins|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255646980s/6148028.jpg|6171458], maybe I'm immune??) I mean, yes. It was a cliffhanger... but it wasn't as bad as the end of Book 8... IMO.

Anyway, I really quite enjoyed everything about this book... except that Dave the Laugh keeps pushing Gee, which is slightly disturbing. Or maybe just elementary-school-ish (as in hair-pulling and doing stupid boy things to get a girl to notice you)... But I still like him more than the other two. I love how Dave the Laugh/Tart is SO INCREDIBLY JEALOUS... Calling Masimo, the Luuurve God a homosexualist and a lesbian and making fun on his handbag (which I have yet to peek a glimpse at, unless it was in book 7 or earlier and I just can't remember)...

He's totally in luuuuuurve with her. And she needs to WAKE UP and get rid of her densenosity and realize that SHE luuuuuuuuuuuuuuurves Dave, and that's why she's always thinking about him and always wants to tell him things going on in her life and feels comfortable with him even without makeup on and can be herself with him... AND he makes her laugh... And she likes his snogging techniques better than Masimo's... Which is like icing on the tart from the Cakeshop of Luuurve!

Anyway, the cliffhangery part for me wasn't the very very end, but when Dave was over at her house, and he goes to tell her something and the 'rents interrupt... WHAT WAS HE GOING TO SAY??? (Maybe this is what Christy was talking about with thinking Louise Rennison should be kicked in the arse for ending the book like that? Not that she said that, but I can deduce from her (implied) excessive punctuation that she was thinking this.) Once again, the Cowboy-a-gogo librarians need to hurry up an catalog [b:Are These My Basoomas I See Before Me?|5170850|Are These My Basoomas I See Before Me? (Confessions of Georgia Nicolson Book 10)|Louise Rennison|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1245344060s/5170850.jpg|5237892] so I can read all about Gee's nunga-nungas. (I hope the book is about more than just that.... I'm not a lezzie...) ;) ( )

Funny! ( )

Absolutely freaking hilarious series.
If you've never listened to these on CD, go to your library and do it. NOW! They're such funny books anyway, but the narrator rocks and makes the audio versions ridiculously funny. Like another reviewer said, "If you don't laugh, you have no soul."
And, I should add that Dave the Laugh is perfect in every way and Georgia is insane if she doesn't agree. SO there. ( )

I don't think it's possible for me to not love a Georgia Nicolson book, but I have to say, I am ready for some closure. Team Dave the Laugh! ( )

Watch out, mates! Georgia Nicolson has returned, and she definitely hasn't learned from her past mistakes.

Aside from trying to survive in the woods with all the creatures and (apparently) pigs roaming around, Georgia just got herself in a pickle when Dave the Laugh/Tart ended up kissing her when she fell. What makes it even worse, besides the fact that Dave has a girlfriend, is that Georgia just so happened to have recently become the girlfriend of the Italian Stallion.

It's a good thing that Massimo is miles away, because he would have gone bonkers if he found out what had happened. It's another thing that he hasn't called ever since he left.

Sure, she is stuck with two potential boyfriends, but what else is knew? Georgia must choose between the two before she ends up all by herself.

Aside from her boy troubles, her Mutti and Vati are continuing to fight and it's getting even worse, especially when Vati is changing his appearance into something no one should ever have to lay their eyes on. And before going back to Stalag 14, Georgia must have the best time ever with her mates, hopefully using most of her time not thinking about who she needs to choose between.

Who knew someone like Georgia could get into even more trouble? Wait, we all did!

The previous novels in the series have been absolutely hilarious, and STOP IN THE NAME OF PANTS! is no exception. The laughs keep on coming in this installment, and Georgia is crazier than ever. A series that you could never get tired of, it should come with a caution note on it: Warning, may cause hysterical laughter and odd looks from passerby when read in public! ( )
