Each book is better than the last. The trip to Scotland had me laughing. I remember trips like that with my parents, except that I didn't have a SEX GOD to dream about. Then there is Angus and his missing trouser-snake addendums. LOL!!!! (My husband would like to rebut with "but cats don't wear trousers."

My favorite quote is (page 141): "Oh Blimey O'Reilley's pantyhose... what is the point of Shakespeare? I know he is a genius and so on, but he does rave on. What light doth through yonder window break? It's the bloody moon, for God's sake, Will, get a grip!!"

Oh, to be a teenager again! Georgia Nicolson makes it sound like so much fun!! If you have been reading and loving the series, Knocked Out By My Nunga-Nungas will not disappoint you. I caught myself giggling like a school girl a hundred times over, and I look forward to continuing with the next book in the series.

Knocked Out By My Nunga-Nungas continues the story of 14-year-old Georgia Nicolson and her adventures as the new girlfriend of Sex God, Robbie. But probably the most funny is the tale of Angus, the Scottish Wildcat. Angus, who has a crush on the Burmese sex kitten across the road, only causes the Nicolson family havoc when desperately trying to reconnect with his true love. And of course, Georgia's parents wreak their own kind of havoc, especially when dragging Georgie to Och Aye Land (Scotland) on a hideous family vacation, when all she'd rather do is sit home and snog with Robbie.

I love reading about the trials of Georgia. She and her friends are absolutely hilarious and I guarantee laughs on every page. The ending on this book, however, seemed a bit abrupt, but I guess it only serves to get people to buy the next book in the series right away! I know I will be.

"Knocked Out By My Nunga-Nungas" is the third in Louise Rennison's "confessions of Georgia Nicolson" series, a sort of teenage Bridget Jones who humorously captures in her diary her life in her British high school, her continuing romance with Robbie, Sex God and member of the Stiff Dylans, the misadventures of her ferocious cat Angus and her deranged little sister Libby, her loonie parents, and the general angst of being a teenager (chest size, fuzzy eyebrows, snoggability, proper application of makeup for specific occasions, etc). This instalment sees Georgia lusting after a former flame, Dave the Laugh, as well as schoolwide lust over the new French teacher Henri. We tag along on Georgia's miserable family vacation to Och Aye Land (Scotland), where the local "club" is the supermarket and Angus and Libby are munching on haggis together. Later, back at school, we follow Gee through her typical days of misbehaviour, pranks, and plotting. Laugh out loud funny, always original, can't wait to read the next one in the series!

This book is my absolute favorite! It's the funniest book I've ever read, including Calvin and Hobbes, which I don't even have to say how much they rock. While reading this book in language class I actually laughed out loud! Everyone stared at me like I was a loon. This book is sooooo realistic it scares me, I can relate to Georgia in so many ways. (Not that I'm overly obsessed over the size of my nose, or that I've taken kissing lessons or anything.) It truly is an inside look to how teenage girls think. Therefore no boy shall ever lay eyes inside its pages or suffer the wrath of...Erm, well, I don't know right now, but they shall suffer all the same. This book deserves 10 stars but they didn't have that as an option. Though they should just to pleas us delusional people out there. Buy this book right now if you haven't gotten it already. I cant say how much I love this book enough, but since I'm lazy I think Ill stop now.

Georgia Nicholson is debating her place in the world yet again. The family vacation to Och Aye Land (otherwise known as Scottland) is one of the highlights of Rennison's hilarious 3rd work, "Knocked Out By My Nunga-Nungas."

Georgia is a character we have all grown to love through Rennison's "Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging" series. We have seen her grow to become the official girlfriend of a "sex god" named Robbie and enjoyed her ongoing jokes about her parents.

Now, some new crises arise.

Georgia's cat, Angus, is in love with a Burmese "sex kitten" owned by Georgia's neighbors. Her father has wanted Angus's "trouser snake addendums" to be surgically removed for quite a while now, and with Naomi now pregnant, it looks as though Angus's manly days are through.

Georgia also thinks she may have some unresolved feelings with her "red herring" Dave the Laugh (whom she used to entice Robbie the Sex God). She even admits that her relationship with Robbie is strange since he is several years older.

It's a book that will make you look like a sputtering fool if read in public and a general good read. I only give four stars because the ending is such a merciless hook ("will the kittens be Angus's? Can she balance both a sex god and a laugh at the same time? This is her prime, after all. We'll just have to wait and see.") Other than that, it's a great rainy Saturday afternoon read.

Knocked Out By My Nunga-Nungas is a book about a teenaged girl who lives in England. But don't be fooled by her location, she gets into just as much trouble as the ordinary American teenager. She comes from an extraordinary girl world where lippy means lipstick and knickers are underwear.

This young adult novel is the further, further diary and confessions of Georgia Nicolson. It is an extremely hysterical book. It is the sequel to On the Bright side, I'm Now the Girlfriend of a Sex God. Georgia Nicolson clues us in on her oh so interesting `fabbity-fab-fab' life of friends, boys, and snogging of course.

This book is so intriguing and fascinating that I rate it five out of five stars. This book can give some examples on how young women act in England and it gives readers a chance to experience the lives of other adolescents around the world. This book even has its own dictionary of English teenager slang and lingo.

I enjoyed reading this book so much that I read the entire thing in one day! You will not want to put this book down out of your hands once you initially pick it up. I recommend this book to teenaged girls aged from thirteen to sixteen.

Knocked Out By My Nunga-Nungas will keep you guessing till the end of the book. You just won't know what boy-crazy Georgia Nicolson will do next. It is an extremely exciting, out-of-this-world book that I enjoyed right down to the ultimate last page.

When you are finished reading the book, you will realize that Georgia is one passionate, wild teenager that never says, "I can't." If you are a girl that is interested in young romantic girl novels then this is the best book for you. You will love how something different happens to Georgia on each and every page.

Don't be bummed out when the book is over, you can always go pick up and read the forth part of this hilarious series. Well, as Georgia says "pip pip for now"

In response to the reviewer from B.C... they had no idea of what they were saying.

Please, the next time you read a book, understand what your getting yourself into.

You should realize (from reading the first two books) that Georgia Nicholson, is a teenage girl. She is most certainly no role model, is completely self-centered, and makes judgments on everything, but in the end really wants to have a laugh with her mates.

Did you honestly think that a normal, British, teenage girl should be portrayed any other way? Were you looking for some kind of 7th-Heaven view on adolescence? Take it from me, a 14 year old living in middle class suburbia, that this is how paranoid, lip-gloss wearing, middle school girls act. And the best thing about the Georgia books is, you can laugh at all of us. Because this really is how we function and live our lives. Self-contiously, and scared.

You should have understood that going into reading a book about a teenage girl for God's sake. If you were looking for an angelic view... I suggest you look somewhere else.

To everyone else, this book rocked God's Pajama's it's fabbity fab fab fab, and needs to be read by everyone, take it from me, I had to get out of the house I was laughing so hard... check it out!

This book was absolutely hysterical that my sides ached from laughing. Fourteen-year-old Georgia still lives in England, and still obsesses and worries over her hairy orangutan eyebrows and uncontrollable bosoms. Georgia has succeeded in reuniting herself with her ex-boyfriend, the sex god. Obviously, she is now overjoyed and thrilled to death. Her little three-year-old sister, Libby, still continues her normal, day-to-day routine of peeing in hidden corners of Georgia's room, hiding her dirty nappies at the bottom of Georgia's bed, and playing dress-up with their beastly cat Angus. How Libby plays dress up and puts "lippy" on Angus and not get torn to shreds, Georgia has no idea. If Georgia were even to attempt such a life-threatening act, she would be lucky to get away with her life and even luckier to still be in one piece. Georgia's unique cat, Angus is like no other cat - he teases and torments the next door neighbor's two miniature poodles for fun, and spends countless hours lounging in his dark "lair" at the back of Georgia's closet, plotting his next move.
In the beginning of this book, Georgia thinks she might be on her way to having an almost normal life with almost normal parents, until her father announces that the family would be going on a vacation together to Scotland! Yeah, her parents are suddenly all lovey-dovey with each other, but that is no reason or excuse to put the rest of the family - ok, Georgia - through the excruciating pain and torment of being trapped with them in a secluded area with nothing to do but be depressed!
Meanwhile, Georgia is faced with bigger problems than dealing with torturous family vacations. She is confronted with her feelings for her former boyfriend, Dave the Laugh. Georgia is struggling with her strong feelings for the sex god and with her returning, flaming feelings for Dave. She thinks she wants to be with the sex god because, well, he is a SEX GOD and he has great snogging skills, plus she will be able to travel around the world with him and his band when he gets a contract. On the other hand, Dave the Laugh is just as fit and good-looking and has great snogging skills. She can be funny around him and not worry about whether she sounds stupid or not because Dave doesn't make her go "jelliod" and unable to speak and form comprehendible sentences, like the sex god does.
As for Angus, he has a new affair in his life, and it's with the new neighbors across the street's prize Burmese cat, Naomi. According to Georgia, she is the "sex kitten" Angus has always longed for. But Georgia's father wants Angus's "trouser snake addendums" (testicles) removed so not to get Naomi pregnant. But as serious as the adults may think the situation is between these two cats, Georgia finds it quite hilarious. And to express her feelings of anger towards her father about him wanting Angus neutered, she starts calling her father a cat molester! Great choice of words, huh?!
There is nothing to complain about in this book because I loved it all around. I never lost interest and therefore, I had a hard time putting the book down. I had a great time reading this book as well as the previous two books and I'm am sure that everyone else who reads it will too.

Georgia is back!!!! In this fabulous installment of the GN series Georgia must decide if she can fight off he red botomosity and resist Dave the Laugh (see book in series before this for info on Dave). Also in the book Georgia has to go to Scotland (Och Aye land) and some odd things happen there. Wonderfully funny and is the kind of book to read to cheer yourself up!!

...because you'll be laughing out loud! I tried reading Knocked Out on an airplane, to see if it was appropriate for my 12-year-old daughter/travellng companion. I had my hand over my mouth, practically weeping with the effort not to laugh out loud, so my daughter finally wrestled it away from me. Make no mistake - Georgia is a bit of an idiot, but her spirited narcissism and her unconventional vocabulary are nothing short of hilarious. I love her!
