1.0 out of 5 stars WARNING, this book is just 2 previous books combined!, July 29, 2004

I bought this book sight unseen (in fact I bought 3 copies, one for me and the other two for huge Georgia fans). Anyway, it's a RIPOFF!
It's just ANGUS, THONGS AND FULL-FRONTAL SNOGGING and ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, I'M NOW THE GIRLFRIEND OF A SEX GOD combined. There isn't a book description on Amazon.com, now I know why...
This book gets a 1 star rating because of false advertising. If you don't believe me, here's the equation;
One 5 star book + One 5 star book + New Title + $11.19 (Amazon price)= 1 star

This review is from: Confessions of Georgia Nicolson (Paperback)

This book is really the first two Georgia Nicolson diaries (Angus, Thongs and Full-frontal Snogging and On the Bright Side, I'm Now the Girlfriend Of a Sex God) packaged together in one volume. I, for one, like the convenience, since I planned to buy the whole set. This book has been rated unfairly by people who were confused. If you look at the average stars for the two books contained in this edition, you'll see that they average 4.5 stars. That means people really like the stories. Now, about the stories. I love anything having to do with England, so I wanted to read all these Georgia Nicolson books. I loved reading all the British terms and slang, though it was sometimes hard to tell what was legitimate British slang and what was made up by title heroine, Georgia Nicolson. One thing I did not like at all, though, was the way Georgia added "osity" to practically every-other word (i.e. sophisticosity, maturosity). That was getting on my last nerve. But there were a lot of laughs in this book for teens and adults alike. One review I read said Georgia was self-centered. That's true, but it's that exaggerated self-centeredness that makes it funny. The way Georgia and her best friend, Jas, talk to each other without really listening to each other is hilarious. They're both just pretending to listen until they can talk about themselves again. And Georgia is 14 years old. All teenagers are a bit self-absorbed. I look forward to reading the rest of the series and seeing if Georgia matures a bit. The books are, for the most part, pretty wholesome, and I'd recommend them for girls 12 and up.

1.0 out of 5 stars Misleading Title - I fell for it too., August 3, 2004

This review is from: Confessions of Georgia Nicolson (Paperback)

I guess I wasn't the only one mislead by the title then. I suppose I should have waited for or found a better description, but I never would have assumed that the phrase "Adult Edition" refers to two previous novels being crammed together and sold as one. I have little to add to what has already been said by another reviewer; I mostly wanted to vent my frustrations.

I would, however, like to encourage anyone who hasn't read the first two Georgia Nicolson books to give them a try. They really are very good, very funny. And bonus, you now have the option to choose between two small books or one big book.
