Sure didn't seem like it was new.
Same old same old except for the incident with Angus.
I just want something to happen in this series already.
I'm mad that I ran out and spent nearly 20$ for this book and I could have just reread one of the other ones for Pete's sake!

Stop in the Name of Pants! is the ninth book in the Georgian Nicolson series, which is full of hilariousity, lurrve, bestest pallies and all the things that make being a teenage girl the rollercoaster ride that it is.

This hilarious, British series for teens is best appreciated when read in order:

1. Angus, Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging
2. On the Bright Side, I'm Now the Girlfriend of a Sex God
3. Knocked Out by My Nunga-Nungas
4. Dancing in My Nuddy Pants
5. Away Laughing on a Fast Camel (or outside North America, And Then It Fell Off in My Hand)
6. Then He Ate My Boy Entrancers
7. Startled by His Furry Shorts
8. Love Is a Many Trousered Thing

I fell in love with the first book, found the series dragged in books two and three (was very disappointed Georgia never went to Kiwi-A-Go-Go-Land), but then was delighted I stuck around, because the series eventually found a great pace starting with Away Laughing on a Fast Camel.

When we last left Georgia at the end of Love Is a Many Trousered Thing, she had left the Cake Shop of Lurrve with the Italian pastry, otherwise known as the Lurrve God, after eschewing Robbie, otherwise knows as the Sex God, with a firm hand. But then Dave the Laugh had to go and spoil it all with a kiss. What's Georgia to do?

Well, I'm not going to spoil it by telling you, but I will tell you Stop in the Name of Pants is full of the romance and humor that has made this series an international hit, and fans of the series will not be disappointed. I will also tell you this book, like the last four, ends on a cliffhanger, or as Georgia would put it, with her once again on the Rack of Lurrve. I can also tell you there's a dramatic event in this book that surprised me and had me in tears, but it still fit the series perfectly. It's always nice when a series can continue to surprise you as far in as book nine and yet remain true to itself.

Oh, and one small problem--this book is missing the Snogging Scale. Of course, the reader can always refer to an earlier book for that, and some bonus features here include instructions for The Viking Bison Disco Inferno dance, The Snot Disco Inferno dance, and The Viking Disco Hornpipe Extravaganza dance; the Having a Hump Scale (which is what we call "getting mad" in Hamburger-A-Go-Go-Land); the Losing It Scale; and of course one of Georgia's glossaries, which explains UK English words in a way that only Georgia can.

The Georgia Nicolson books are a laugh-out-loud treat, and they are even better in audio. I'm also looking forward to seeing the first movie, Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging, when it arrives in the USA, the sooner the better.

Nunga Nungas or not, Georgia Nicolson knocks me out!

I did not enjoy the diary style of writing and though there is a lexicon to understand the british idioms and expressions, it's hard to follow and seems to me targeted at a very juvenile audience.

I had not read the other Georgia books so I was a little lost in the beginning. The dictonary in the back help with some of the terms she uses which can get very confusing.
I think I am just too old for this book. I can't remeber being like this as a teenager and can not relate to Georgia.
By the end I felt for her but was glad it was over.

Rennison has done it again with a nother hilarious book. Her writing is so crazily refreshing and honest. This series keeps me laughing out loud at the antics and descriptions.

I think she has done a great job of getting into the head of a teenager and all the psychodrama of her life--especially how melodramtic dating can be. This is like Bridget Jones for teenagers.

Ok, so this is a young adult book, but I'm the mother of a teen, and I loved it! My daughter laughed out loud so often while she was reading, that I just had to read it, too. Though neither of us have read any of the author's other works, we're both planning on getting more. The main character is easy to identify with, and she's just so bubbly and fun that you can't help but love her and her antics.

This is the ninth book in the series Confessions of Georgia Nicolson, so faithful readers know what they're getting. As for me, I haven't read the earlier books (which doesn't help), I'm 48 (the series is aimed at teens), and I'm familiar with Bridget Jones's Diary (I think the author is, too).

The humor seems forced, packed with British slang and silly wordplay. Luuurve for love, vair for very, adding -osity and -io to the end of words willy nilly. "I said in a casualosity at all times sort of way, `Ah well, I'm glad you asked me that. Because suspicionosity is the enemy of friendshipnosity."

It's all a little much, but then again I'm not the target for this book. Teenage girls might love it.

Here's the chapter list; there is no table of contents:

1. Deep in the forest of red bottomosity
2. Once more into the huffmobile
3. Turbulent washing machine of love
4. Viking hornpipes a-gogo
5. Big furry paw of fate
6. Why can't everyone just speak English?
7. Hark, what owl through yonder window breaks
8. Fisticuffs at dawn
9. Groove on, groovsters! (dance moves)

Glossary

Georgia Nicolson, the cynical, sarcastic, witty British teen, returns in "Stop in the Name of Pants," the latest book from Louise Rennison. Rennison writes in a stream-of-consciousness style, casting Georgia's story in the form of diary entries. Sometimes it's funny and sometimes it's too scatter-brained, but it works well for readers with short attention spans.

Georgia deals with many of the issues that affect teens -- clueless parents, pesky little sister, fickle friends -- and some that most can only hope for, including having 3 boyfriends simultaneously, one of whom is a luuuurve god. (Note to American readers: the book is heavy on British slang, most of which is understandable from the context.)

Earlier books in the series, (especially "Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging") worked better than this one. The humor isn't as sharp in Georgia's latest outing, and much of the material is starting to feel familiar.

"Stop in the Name of Pants" is an entertaining, undemanding book, but readers other than long-time fans might find themselves disappointed.

My family read the first book in Louise Rennison's Georgia Nicolson series while on a road trip. We take turns reading aloud, and with both kids and adults in the car, we figured a young adult book would be a good choice. We had to pull over to allow the driver to quit laughing and compose herself enough to get back on the road safely.
Rennison's combination of lighthearted adventure and teen perceptions of the world, written in a wonderfully characteristic style,is a pleasure for teens and adults. The memorable heroine, English schoolgirl Georgia, faces issues with school, friendships, boys, and family that most teens will relate to, though she makes them a lot funnier than usual. Her life with her parents, her little sister, her unusual cat, her clique of friends, and the boys and teachers who make that life more complicated, is a series of madcap episodes ranging from the ditherspaz-inducing to the fabbity fab fab.
The language is half the fun. If you can read this book without finding your conversation laced with little bits of Rennisonosity, you have more self-control than most of us.
In this latest book, Georgia deals -- or fails to deal -- with more complex issues than in the previous volumes. Georgia's self-centered cluelessness is occasionally pierced by some recognition of real concerns about her family, her troubles at school, and her relationships with boys. Not enough to spoil the fun, of course, but enough to make the reader eager to see what happens next.
There is a helpful glossary in the back of the book so that we in Hamburger-a-go-go-land can understand it.

It's surprisingly hard to write a review for the ninth book in a series. You'd think it would be easy, or at least I did, but I was wrong. The bottom line is that if you have been reading and enjoying the series, you'll enjoy this book, too.

As parent of a teenage daughter, I have read (actually, listened to the "books on tape" versions) of a few of this series. Therefore, I had a pretty good idea of what was going on in this latest chapter of the Georgia Nicholson chronicles -- good thing, because otherwise, I would have been hopelessly lost. Fortunately, it has a glossary in the back, for those who are jumping into the series in episode 9, but it is woefully inadequate to cover all the necessary background and jargon/lingo of this series.

Having read the Harry Potter series, I was always -- hmmm, how to describe it -- tolerant of, patient with (?) all the repetitive descriptions that, I realized, were necessary if anyone was to pick up the series with, say, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", to provide the background information one would need to understand enough of the "current" (to that episode in the series) events. This book has FAR too little of that repetitive background for anyone to join late in the series. So, if you're tempted to buy this, go back and start at the beginning of the series, first.

That said, this is another wildly engaging episode in the chronicles/confessions of Georgia Nicholson, Teen Drama Queen Extraordinaire. The angst, self-centeredness, and over-importance of the moment that is typical of teenage-hood is captured perfectly in this book -- and perhaps that's made obvious by the number of "two minutes later" entries in this diary-style volume.

Nonetheless, this 40+ year-old dad finds himself adding "-iocity" and "a-gogo-land" on the end of otherwise ordinary words after reading this, and that can only testify to the inherent enjoyability-ocity of this book. The series is a "must-read", or at the very least, a "must-skim" for parents of tweens heading into that awful time of teenager-hood; and it would probably be enjoyed by most late-tween-to-early-teen girls.

When I ordered this book, I did not realize a few things. I did not know it was about and for teen girls. I did not know it was the ninth of a series, the first being this: ANGUS, THONGS AND FULL-FRONTAL SNOGGING: CONFESSIONS OF GEORGIA NICOLSON.

As a geezer "homosexualist" male who resides in "Hamburger-a-gogo Land", I had some concern that this reading experience might be sub-optimal. "I will tell you this for free," it wasn't! Everything is "tickety-boo" as far as being a "naff" geezer who speaks "Hamburgerese" enjoying this installment of Miss Nicolson's confessions.

Georgia Nicolson is funnier than a funny thing on funny tablets.

Despite that I am a "vair vair" literary sort, I do love a bit of fun. And this book has it. It was no trouble that I hadn't read the other books, though I'm sure the experience would be richer if I knew some of the history of Georgia and her Ace Gang.

I devoured this book and am likely to read more of the series. The laughingnocity just won't stop. I offer one of my favorite passages wherein Miss Nicolson describes her preparations for conversational facility with Masimo, the Luuurve God, upon the occasion of his return from Pizza-a-gogo Land: "I have got an Italian book for idiots, so I must look through it. Mind you, if it is anything like our French or German textbooks it will be wubbish. They are always to do with losing your bike. They are not really based on real life, there is nothing about how to snog in different languages. Absoluto stupido and ueselessio."

Gorgey, no?

Georgia Nicolson is still hilarious. I love the slang Louise Rennison uses and the crazy antics of the Ace Gang. If you've read the previosu books, well then you just have to read this one! If you've never read them, start with "Angus, Thongs & Full Frontal Snogging". This series is laugh-out-loud funny.

But it does need to be mentioned that the series IS starting to drag a bit, and Georgia doesn't seem to grow or mature alot. Another thing about reading this, is you keep wondering WHY she has all these hot guys after her. Sure she is funny, but she is not a considerate, smart (or according to herself and her friends) that great looking (her face is all nostrils?!). But luckily, in this book we get to see Georgia show her sensitive/serious side for once. It was a break from the routine shallowness.

The ending was really good! It was one of those (almost cliffhanger) endings that makes you realize you are at the end of the book, and howl out "Noooooo!!!! I need to know what happens next!". I can't wait to read the next one! I really wish the books would come out faster than only 1 per year.

With the ninth Georgia Nicholson book, Rennison proves that her mayhem-causing animals, undisciplined toddlers, befuddled teens, and mangled metaphors have some life in them yet. Georgia continues to juggle three previously introduced suitors, looking to her friends for advice and occasional bursts of Viking-inspired disco dancing. Jas and Tom's placid relationship takes its first downturn, Angus undergoes a near-death experience, and Libby prattles as unintelligently as ever, prompting the concerned reader to wonder whether she is growing at a slower pace than is to be expected. More to the point, is Georgia?

Georgia's self-centered but well-intentioned flippancy forms the basis for many of Rennison's running jokes, but, nine books into the series, it's high time Rennison gave her lead character a real challenge. Georgia's perennial struggles with false eyelashes and saving money have begun to wear thin; amusing as she is, she may well pale in comparison to high school heroines who are fighting for places in teams, classes, or bands. Perhaps Rennison has been misled into thinking Georgia's apathy refreshing. It's not. It's funny, but it gets flatter with every page.

I am a middle-aged, middle school teacher and I love reading this series! Even though its target audience is much younger, the intelligent language is so clever that I always look forward to the next installment. The only reason I give it four stars instead of five, is that I tire of the constant cliff-hangers at the end. We'll still keep reading even if you actually provide an occasional resolution!

From the expert in the household -- 14-year-old gal:

In the book "Stop in the name of Pants" Georgia is stuck with the possible mistake of snogging her close TAKEN friend, Dave the laugh. After the accidental snog, she wonders whether to tell anyone, including Masimo. During the book she grows more and more anxious for her "lurrvve god's" return-also awaiting her next year at Stalag 14. Her last few weeks of summer are spent with her rather insane friends having a hilarious time.

When school rolls around, the dreaded Wet Lindsay is head girl, and is set on making this year hell for Georgia. To make matters worse, Lindsay is back after Georgia's first love, Robbie. While Georgia is heavily distracted and entertained by the Italian Stallion Masion (and side thoughts popping in of Dave the laugh) she's still determined to save Robbie from the horrid forehead-less Wet Lindsay. Towards the end there's a clash of Dave joking around and Masimo taking it to heart-where the two almost duel for Georgia. She should be excited, right? No! Now she's back on the shelf of love. Nothing is ever simple for Georgia Nicolson.

I truly enjoyed this book as well as all the other books in the series. The way the story is told is ALWAYS humorous and there is rarely to never a dull moment. I love the way Louise manages to have everything set from what seems to be truly a young teen's point of view. The problems and conflicts are very relatable to a lot of girls, and since it's so funny, it's easy to read. Within all the entertainment and good writing, I have a curiosity.

While the books are going so well, I'm really interested in how Ms. Rennison will continue to write more for Georgia-which boy she gets. Many still have a soft spot for sweet Robbie, but we rarely see him at all this book! Also, many many many girls are excited to see Georgia get with Dave the laugh. And there are a few who really like her with the English-challenged Masimo. At the end of this book, I found my heart ripped! I was so curious to what the next book is, because when Masimo walked away, I felt walked away from too!

I can't wait for the next book, keep writing Ms. Louise Rennison!

At Book #9, the Georgia Nicolson series can safely be called an institution by now. In fact, though familiar with the splash made (from across the pond, yet!) by the first title (ANGUS, THONGS, AND FULL FRONTAL SNOGGING), I never realized that British humorist Louise Rennison had squeezed this much creativity out of her initial success. Impressive, to say the least.

Perhaps it is wrong to start (and end) with the ninth in a series, and perhaps I would have enjoyed it more if I were as familiar with all the characters as her devoted readers are, but nevertheless, I fearlessly leaped in and had some trouble comprehending this chickiest of chick lit books. As a strong point, the book has silly humor going for it, which is fun, but the maturity levels between the teenage protagonist, Georgia, and her infant sister, Libby, often seemed indistinguishable.

For instance, typical Libby talk: "Huggyhugghoghoghog. Funny pussycat. Get off now." Typical Georgia talk: the same, only replace "pussycat" with "mate" or "Luurve God" or "lads" (all of which equates to guys). In fact, every chance they get, Georgia and Friends are "tarting up" in front of the mirror and figuring out how to walk, talk, even breath to increase their chances of snogging with the opposite sex (and you thought teenage guys were preoccupied with only one thing 24/7?).

Also distracting were some of the overplayed verbal gags: adding the suffix "-osity" to words, saying "vair, vair" vair (er, very) often, adding the suffix "-io" to English words as a means of "speaking Italian" to the Luurve God, Masimo. All of this is humorous at first, but at thirty-third, not so much.

As a strength, I'd point to the character Dave the Laugh, who is often worth a laugh, but more importantly is one of the few characters with both feet firmly planted on the ground (read: normal). The final showdown between Dave and the Italian Stallion Luurve God, Masimo, though lightweight, gave the ending of the book some interest. Also in the mix is an accident involving the iconic (judging by the series' book covers) cat, Angus. In fact, any time that Rennison made an extended journal entry about the cat or about Georgia's confusion over Dave the Laugh (why does she keep dwelling on the lad if he's just a "mate"?), the book improved. What often hampers it are two- and three-sentence entries with bold-print headings titled "one minute later," "four minutes later," "two minute later," "twelve minutes later," etc. After about five pages of that, you don't even bother reading these headings anymore. At least (ten minutes later) I didn't.

Overall, a mixed bag. The tone is pre-teen, but some of the content is decidedly teen. The British lexicon is given a run for its money, as are some childish word games. The plot: what plot? The humor? Obviously it hasn't let Rennison or her fans down yet. If you enjoyed #1 (or any that follow), you'll likely embrace the comfort of familiarity offered up by STOP IN THE NAME OF PANTS! New to the institution (Georgia-osity, Inc.)? Proceed vair, vair carefully and start with the first of the series. In the name of pants, you may stop before you ever get as far as #9.

This ninth book in the Georgia Nicholson series is entertaining and laugh out loud funny. Neither I, nor my 14 year old daughter have read any of the other books in the series, yet enjoyed this book on its own. Now we are ready to go back and read some of the earlier novels. The characters are believeable and amusing. Georgia captures the true nature of today's teenagers and gives the reader a glimpse into her life. I can't wait to hear what came before - and what will come next!

I've been reading the Georgia Nicholson books since I was 12. I'm 21 now, and I suppose you could say I'm a bit old to still be reading them, but Louise Rennison never disappoints and therefore I am a loyal fan. Stop in the Name of Pants has everything one expects when reading Gee's diary. If you've been reading the Nicholson series and enjoy them, I would pick this book up. However, if you haven't ready any of the Nicholson series books I recommend starting with the first one (Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging) as you will be lost on many of the references (despite the glossary in the back).

The Truth: I'm a Girl, I'm Smart and I Know EverythingAs the author of a book for girls, tweens and teens, that is also in the form of a diary, I am very interested in other such books. Stop in the Name of Pants is so different from The Truth (I'm a girl, I'm smart and I know everything). In my book I have the protagonist bring up a number of issues that must be faced as we move toward the teen years. In this book the emphasis is almost entirely on social issues. I know as a psychologist that that is a very important part of growing up. And I also know that having the capacity to laugh at many of the antics we get ourselves into as teens is good mental health. As a psychologist I would have loved to have known much more about facets of this gal's life. However, I'm not the audience reading the book. And I do have to admit that in my diaries up in the attic from those years, most of the discussion was about my social life! So if you are 16 you will probably enjoy this book tremendously. And if you are much older as I am, well, then I suggest Eat, Pray, Love or your own diaries for a good read. (Check up in your attic-they are probably hiding in a closet!)

I found this book to be witty and funny, But *I* couldnt enjoy it. There were too many UK-type references and flavors of humor that I had to think about the meaning, thus losing the spontaneity of the joke.

Its part of a series, too, and this isnt the first. So I was guessing at what the character was talking about.

I'd say this is a good/great book for someone that likes this type of reading. If it were a bit more Americanized in grammar, I would have appreciated the book much more. My gender and age wasn't really meant as a target for the book, but it was still fun to read.

Stop in the Name of Pants! features Georgia Nicolson and the Ace Gang in their usual storm of raucous fun. Georgia is, as usual, on the rack of love. Masimo the Luuurve God, and her official boyfriend, is off to Italy, leaving her to fall prey to Dave the Laugh and Robbie the Sex God. While this predicament is no new news, Georgia's take on it is finally a bit more mature and moving out of the rut created in the past two novels. The book also focuses a lot of Georgia's family and pet life instead of only full-frontal snogging. The roles of the Ace Gang have increased, and add to the general hilariosity of the book, which is high already. Overall, this novel is, as usual, side-splittingly funny, while also branching out a bit from Georgia's past confessions, which were verging on becoming repetitive. The end is inconclusive, indicating that Georgia may be on the rack of love for at least one more diary, which readers will anxiously await.

This book was as funny as the rest of the series but it is getting vair, vair old.

I got this book for my summer vacation to read. Ive read all of the other books and find this story to be endlessly funny. The problem with this book is, is that it ends so badly it makes me not want to buy the next one.

The last book left me with so many questions. Will Georgia go with the Italian Stallion or the Sex God? Or will she figure out Dave the Laugh is her destiny? Will the old ones ever let Georgia talk on the phone again? Will Libby finally stop wetting the bed? How much longer can Angus survive with all his antics?

Book nine may not answer all of these questions, but it sure was a fun ride. This series is one of the best out there for teenage girls. The characters are kooky and lovable, the situations are believable and fun and the craziness never ends. Georgia has a way of boiling people down to their basics and telling everything how it is with her very own brand of lingo.

After Dave the Laugh pulls Georgia out of the pond where her bum landed and they lock lips for an accidental snog fest, Georgia must decide once and for all who her one true luuurve will be. But it's not easy with her mum and vati who just don't want to grow up, the minxes in the ace gang getting out of hand and boys breathing down her neck in every direction, Georgia is about to have a nervy b. Ah, if only all teenagers could have Georgia's problems.

It's like reading BRIDGET JONES' DIARY for teens. But without all the F-wording. And the pop culture references. And obsession with Colin Firth. Okay, so it's really nothing like Bridget Jones, but it's in journal format and by a British author and really funny. So don't be a wet Lindsey, pull out your Viking horn hat and brush up on your snog scale, Georgia is back with some new amazing adverturosity.

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!

Nothing much new to say here except that these are some of the funniest books around, and this one -- even though it has some touching moments, which are genuine and well done -- is at the top of the list in insane hilarity. Definitely a must-read if you read this series, and if you don't, you should start with "Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging" right away!

I love this series of books. Georgia always makes me laugh out loud, even when I am reading in public. Great for kids, and kids at heart, and anglophiles.

Completely disappointed and angry would be the words I would describe to how I felt after reading this book. It seems Rennison is, as I had suspected, merely churning out empty, "been there" pages and titling it as a book to gain revenue until her readership starts to decline and she has to hurriedly finish the series. I do understand that Georgia and Dave cannot start a relationship without some of the series magic being lost, but really, any progression or actual movement would have been appreciated. The jokes had been done many, many, MANY times before, the Thor dance was contrived and pretty much just the Horn dance with some slapped on extras, and what the heck is the point of Honor and Sophie, the "trainee Ace Gang" members who bring nothing at ALL to the table??
I remain faithful to reading the series purely because the earlier books were so fantastic, and Rennisons characters so hilarious, but should the next book be as draining and pointless as this one, I may have to reconsider.

Georgia Nicolson's red bottom has reared it's...well red head again, I suppose. Now She's caught in between Dave the Tart and Masimo, the Italian cakey. After getting rid of the Robbie eclair she had chosen Masimo, but a camping trip with Dave the Laugh has made her question her choice. My second favorite out of all the nine books. Louise Rennison does again. Plus, I routing for Dave the Laugh to finally get with Georgia. They belong together! Side note: A few pages will make you tear up. Something happen to our favorite Scottish wildcat!

Stop in the Name of Pants finds our favorite teen Brit, Georgia Nicolson, the official girlfriend of the Luuurve God, Masimo, with only one minor problem: he's currently in Pizza-a-Go-Go Land visiting family, and she's all aloney back at homey. Oh, and Robbie (aka The Sex God) is still around and possibly interested. Oh, and erm, yeah, Georgia's accidentally gotten to #5 on the Snog Scale with Dave the Laugh...again. Which gives us plenty of drama and comedy as we follow Georgia's antics as she tries to find dignitosity in all situations.

This particular entry in the series, while still laugh out loud funny, does have a couple of major moments of seriousness that really brought me up short. One thing especially made my heart nearly stop as I was blithely reading along, laughing; Georgia must learn to deal with some things with more maturity than she's shown in the past. Luckily for us, she does and still manages to create great Nordic dance moves, too.

I received this book yesterday and despite wanting to make myself slow down, I just couldn't. I love Georgia and her mates, but I'm beginning to despair that she will ever realize that her true love is RIGHT THERE in the form of Dave the Laugh. The humor is spot on and it's always lovely to spend time with the Nicolson family and the ace gang. Love it but I'm sorely disappointed that now I must again wait a year for the next book. I am full of sadnosity.

Ah, Georgia. We all love her and this ninth installment in the series only makes that love grow. Georgia is at the top of her game and hilarious as always. I know I can always expect a good laugh reading about Georgia and this book delivered.

There is actually a bit of sadness in the middle which produced a few tears from me. I never thought I would cry reading one of these books but Louise Rennison decided to change it up on us. Even though I cried, I really enjoyed this part of the novel because it shows Georgia's life isn't always fun and games.

The tenth in the series should be another good one with a new play that Stalag 14 and the Foxwood boys will be putting on as well as plenty of boyfriend drama for Georgia. I look forward to it!

If you have not started the Georgia and the Ace Gang series yet - what is wrong with you???? Wonderful silly humor had me laughing out loud, yelling Thor and HORN and developing an even bigger crush on Dave the Laugh. Can't wait for the next installment. Louise Rennison is one of my new author heroes.

Wonderful series that captures the ups and downs of true love crushes and mixes it with wonderful friendships, tears, giggles, spontaneous dancing, make-up and hormones.

Great for anglophiles and those who just need a laugh of any age. I chose my own "Dave the Laugh" years ago and this series reminds me of how wonderful it is to be young, confused by raging hormones and in love. And if you don't try the HORN dance after this book - again, what is wrong with you!!!?? :)
