Book Description

Publication Date: May 25, 2004

Georgia thought she had put her "red-bottomosity" to rest when she finally chose Robbie the Sex God over Dave the Laugh. Anyway, Dave the Laugh is now dating her friend Ellen (which didn't stop Georgia from snogging him at a party...)

But when Dave breaks up with Ellen and the Sex God is never around, Georgia doesn't know what to do! As always, in Georgia's life, nothing ever turns out as planned!

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 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.

From Booklist

Gr. 7-10. The fourth and ("probably") final entry into Georgia Nicolson's diary is as loopy and laugh filled as ever. The plot? Well, if it matters, Georgia has chosen Robby the Sex God over Dave the Laugh, and lots of good snogging ensues. But Georgia continues to experience red-bottomisity, as other boys besides Robby look good to her. Subplots? Angus the cat has gotten the kitty across the street pregnant, despite having his "trouser snake addendums" removed. True, this doesn't sound like much, but in the hands of Rennison, it's hysterical. Most of the fun stuff comes from the language, of course, and once again a glossary is provided for those who don't know their "conk" (nose) from their "bum-oley" ("quite literally their bottom hole"). The book also is permeated by a manic energy coupled with an utter disdain that pretty much says teenager. Bye-bye, Georgia; we'll miss you dancing in front of the open window in your nuddy-pants.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Fabbity Fab Fab Read!, April 2, 2003

Lizzie (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dancing in My Nuddy-Pants: Even Further Confessions of Georgia Nicolson (Library Binding)

Dancing in My Nuddy Pants is the fourth chapter in the hilarious series of a crazy English teen, Georgia Nicholson. From experimenting with her school's awful berets once again, taking a weekend trip to Paris, choosing between the loves of her life and becoming a "pop star widow" this book keeps you laughing until the very end. I suggest any and all readers of this book do not read it in public; this is a laugh out loud funny book! Though the trials and tribulations of Georgia and the ace gang are just fabbity fab fab, it is not a good a book as its predecessors.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another hilarious book of "Even Further Confessions", March 10, 2003

By 

"dazed410" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dancing in My Nuddy-Pants: Even Further Confessions of Georgia Nicolson (Library Binding)

Being a loyal fan of Georgia, I found myself excited and eager to dive into her funny world of snogging, ______-a-gogoland, and the ace gang. I found myself both entertained as well as empathetic to the "sex queen" through out the whole book.

Although it's been a while since the last book, I was shocked to find out how much of the story fit right back into place. Louise Renninson does a fantastic job at bringing the book back to the audience and it makes for a very nice and easy read.

Overall, this book is good, fun reading and it works best when read with the preceeding books. I recomend it for anyone who has a sence of humor and can laugh at a cute, dim-witted 15 year old sweetheart. Bravo!

"Georgia thought she had finally put her "red-bottomosity" to rest when she chose Robbie the Sex God over Dave the Laugh, but now she's not so sure. Is she doomed to be a pop-star widow, or will she take her own bottom firmly in hand? As always, in this fourth book about Georgia's angst-filled confessions, nothing ever turns out as planned!"
Taking place in her home land of England, Georgia's back again in the fourth book in her series, bringing along her wacky adventures of living as an English teen. As you read the series, you will get to know Georgia's character, she a bit of everything ;spontaneous, out going, funny, rude, self-obsessed, difficult, but most of all, she has a good heart. But now, time has gone by and Georgia has learned to mature up, or has she? No, not a chance, Georgia is the same crazy girl she has always been, with the exception of having a Sex god (a.k.a. Robbie) for a boyfriend. All was going well until Robbie had to travel around to promote his record. With Robbie away Georgia is left alone, boyfriend-less, while her friends go out with their boyfriends. Georgia secretly starts to actually have feelings for her ex-boyfriend, Dave the Laugh. This can't be possible, Dave the Laugh is going out with her friend Ellen. Georgia's way of trying to settle things, never turns out as planned! This genre is non-fiction narrative, but it's hilarious. It takes you along on the bazaar journey of Georgia Nicolson's English life.
Dancing in my Nuddy-Pants was a real page turner because every page leads you to a funny event that is going to occur to Georgia, and you'll just want to keep on finding out what bad thing is going to happen to her next. The author makes Georgia seem like a normal person, but the some of the events that happen to her are so embarrassing and hilarious at the same time, that it makes Georgia's life seem so unbelievable, and it even makes you want to be embarrassed for her. The style of writing the author uses is very creative, it's written as if it were Georgia's diary which makes even more fun to read. I really recommend this book to girls that are in seventh grade or older, and that have a good sense of humor. I think it's a great book for all girls, whether they like reading or not. I think no matter how much you don't like to read, this book will really get to you, and you'll end up liking it.
