An excellent read - By: Rebecca Hayes, 07 Mar 2007
Georgia Nicoleson is a distraught teenager, crushed by her love loss. Although, her friends are supporting & it's not long before she meets a new sex god. Georgia argues a lot with her best friend Jas, but she needs her friends to escape the madness of her house. Her family are interfering & an embarrassment to her.

The main character is Georgia Nicoleson. I sympathise for her, because she has quite a troubled life. She finds her family highly embarrassing & she doesn't like her friends to see them at alll. She has a cat callled Angus, whom is quite like a human to them, & the way that his actions are described is quite human like. Georgia's best friend, Jas, is mentioned frequently throughout & her character is ambitious & outgoing like many of her friends. All of the characters have situations that everyday people can relate to.

The genre of this book is humour/romance. The book is about a teenage girl in love, but there is a humorous twist to it. Romance it may be, you'll still find it hilarious.

There are many enjoyable aspects of the book, such as, when Georgia went to a party to meet this handsome boy, Masimo, she wore false eye lashers & when she was talking to him they glued her eyes shut. I liked this part, because it was very funny to read & she couldn't re-open her eyes.

The story moves quite slowly, because it is in the form of a diary. Although the pace is slow, there isn't too much description. But you still know what is going on.

I think that the author has tried to achieve to her potential readers a glimpse into the life of a 16 year old & the ups & downs that may occur throughout home, school & social events.

I think that the opening to the book could be improved, it isn't very appealing. The opening is quite boring & not exciting. But apart from this I think that the book is very good & balanced, including a bit of everything.

I would recommend this book for 12-16 year old girls, because they can relate to the language & situations of the book. Overalll I would recommend this book, because it's hilariously life like & based on everyday occurrences of a typical 16 year old's life experiences & will keep you laughing from page to page.
unbelievably funny - By: J. E. Carey, 18 Jul 2006
to paraphrase georgia herself in the intro to the 7th book in the series ("startled by his furry shorts"),

"my fans, which even includes some vatis (which is a little alarming)"

these books would make anybody laugh out loud. if you are a girl, they are exactly what it was like to be a teenager. if you are a boy, read them & you will finallly understand girls!

they are alll hilarious & louise rennison is a comedy genius, but this is the funniest of the lot!
