Louise Rennison's ultra-hilarious snog teen is back in the fourth fabbity-fab book of her "even further confessions."
Since Georgia's been dating the yummy scrumboes Sex God, Robbie, her glossy lips are always at the ready, and her "red-bottomosity" is kept under wraps. Along with Naomi the Sex Kitten's new litter (thank you, Angus), Robbie's announcement that his band will be traveling to Hamburger-a-gogo land (Georgia can only hope to go with), and a class trip to France, Georgia is one camper in a state of teenage splendiosity. The small trouble is, Georgia also wonders if Dave the Laugh might still be the guy for her, and when Robbie gives a surprise-ending twist to his travel plans, she gets a "weird feeling of reliefosity" that makes her wonder if she must venture out and bravely use her "red bottom wisely."
Another first-rate entry in the diary tales of Georgia, Nuddy-Pants will keep fans panting for more. While Rennison hasn't provided any earth-shattering events in her heroine's life, this book shows Georgia's true nuddy-pants personality to be just as funny as ever. With plenty of juicy hints at what's to come, this laugh-out-loud read is one not to miss. Shana Taylor
Just when Georgia thought she'd settled on Rob the Sex God rather than Dave the Laugh, Rob makes himself scarce and Dave breaks up with her friend Ellen, in this fourth confession in the series. Ages 12-up. (June) Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
Gr 7-9-Fans of this self-absorbed teen won't be disappointed in this latest installment of her journal, which contains more of the same humor and detailed observations of the minutiae of adolescent life found in the first three books. However, the teen's total "shallowosity" can be somewhat tiresome. By the fourth book, one might hope for growth of her character, along with her "nunga-nungas" (breasts). Plot-wise, this book picks up where the last one left off. Georgia is still in love with Robbie, the SG (sex god), but is increasingly confused by her feelings for Dave-the-Laugh. Temporary distractions include her cat Angus impregnating a feline across the road, a class trip to Paris, and being made captain of the hockey team. But-"sadnosity"-at novel's end, the SG is off to Kiwi-a-gogo land (New Zealand) to work on an ecological farm. Georgia will be left alone with Dave-the-Laugh. Clearly, further confessions are on the way.-Ronni Krasnow, New York Public Library Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
The short review: more. The longer review: those who are familiar with Georgia Nicolson will likely not be filled with surprisosity to read this account of her "even further confessions." Georgia, still full of smugosity with her position as the girlfriend of Robbie the Sex God, nevertheless finds herself somewhat nonplussed at her continuing attraction to Dave the Laugh, he of the nip libbling incident from Knocked Out by My Nunga-Nungas (2002). In and around Georgia's agonizing over the big questions-"But what do you do with Sex Gods? Besides snog and worship them, I mean."-she assists (under duress) with the school production of Peter Pan, proudly watches as Naomi the sex kitten bears Angus's kittykats (conceived just before his neutering), goes to Frogland on a school trip, is named hockey captain, suffers through parental unrest, and busts the villainous Bummer sisters after they extort Nauseating P. Green into shoplifting. These events are narrated in Georgia's customarily breathless, insufferably self-interested, and undeniably chuckle-provoking style. Her overpowering voice results in the rather odd effect that for all that the plot is nominally jam-packed, the reader feels that very little is actually happening outside of her love life. Is Georgia filled with sadnosity when Robbie declares that he is moving to Kiwi-a-gogoland to work on an ecological farm ("I should have known when he turned up on his bike that something had gone horribly wrong")? Only temporarily; her customary high spirits take over: "Perhaps I could have Dave the Laugh as an unserious boyfriend . . . So I could have the Cosmic Horn for now. And I could save the Sex God for later!!" The line just before theglossary shouts that this is "The Official and Proper End. Probably." Let us hope so; original as Georgia's voice has been, formulosity threatens, and there's little new here. (Fiction. YA)
In this frank and direct diary-style story, Georgia Nicolson, a British teen, reveals her thoughts on the world around her. Her witty names, word transformations, and insights on life reveal a new twist on teenaged angst. Stina Nielsen captures this candid teen and her views perfectly, delivering the narration in the whiny and self-absorbed manner of adolescents. At the end of the book, the listener is treated to a glossary of terms in which Georgia explains her convoluted wordplay for readers who haven’t yet caught up. This is a “fabbity-fab” sequel to Rennison’s ANGUS, THONGS AND FULL-FRONTAL SNOGGING. D.L.M. © AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine
