Knocked Out by My Nunga-Nungas: Further, Further Confessions of Georgia Nicolson [Library Binding]

Louise Rennison (Author)

Book Description

Series: Confessions of Georgia Nicolson | Publication Date: May 14, 2002

As I was going out of my bedroom door I remembered my nungas. Perhaps I should take some precautions to keep them under strict control. Maybe bits of Sellotape on the ends of them to keep them from doing anything alarming? I'd like to trust them, but they are very unreliable.

The irrepressible heroine of the Michael L. Printz Honor Book Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging is back, and funnier than ever! Georgia has finally landed Robbie the Sex God, but he's never around, and Georgia's ex, Dave the Laugh, is starting to look quite dreamy. Strangely, so does just about every other guy Georgia meets, even the new French teacher.

In this third installment of Georgia's hilarious confessions, Georgia's "red bottomosity" is out of control! Whatever will happen next?

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 8-10-The irreverent voice of Georgia Nicolson is loud and clear in this latest installment from Rennison. Now she is officially the "Girlfriend of a Sex God," and as she tries to settle into that role, she discovers that life is still no less confusing. After "snogging" an old flame, her fidelity might waver. Georgia is a fully fleshed out 15-year-old, preoccupied with herself, impatient with her father and all other authority figures, and mercurial in her attitudes. In other words, she's a girl filled with the insecurities that define adolescence. Readers are usually on her side even though her sensitivity toward others is often lacking. She is most consistently warm toward her little sister, Libby, and this relationship adds a pleasant dimension to her character. There are laugh-out-loud moments and her creative language throughout brings her diary to life. However, her repeated glib comments about lesbianism are unfortunate and unnecessary. Though they may be intended to add humor and honesty to the character and are perhaps reflective of attitudes characteristic of the age group, they do not serve the audience well. This point aside, the novel will no doubt find a wide readership. Rennison once again begins with an explanatory note to her "American chums," and appends a glossary to help them understand some of the British colloquial expressions and Georgia's unique vocabulary. While not much happens in this volume, it seems obvious that further episodes will follow.

This review is from: Knocked Out by My Nunga-Nungas: Further, Further Confessions of Georgia Nicolson (Library Binding)

i made the mistake of reading this book on a crowded train, where lots of strangers were confronted with the sight of me laughing so hard that bubbles were coming out of my nose (well, sorta).
This one is hilarious! Georgia is great, Angus eats anything in sight and i cant wait for the next book.

4.0 out of 5 stars More from the life of Georgia, May 9, 2002

This review is from: Knocked Out by My Nunga-Nungas: Further, Further Confessions of Georgia Nicolson (Library Binding)

Georgia is back and this time she is back together with Sex God and happier then ever. That is untill she is still suspeneded from school and having to get ready to go on a trip to Scotland.

Angus is back and still after the neighbor's cat and Vatti is going to change that but Georgia isn't one bit happy about that.. But that is nothing compared to how much she keeps wanting to snog with the Sex God...

She is crazy for Sex God and she worrys that Wet Lindsey will try whatever she can to get him back, but fear not Georgia always manages to keep her calm or does she... Georgia then has some more problems in her life then she can deal with and has to figure them out and hopefully she will....

I can't wait for the next book about Georgia to come out...

This review is from: Knocked Out by My Nunga-Nungas: Further, Further Confessions of Georgia Nicolson (Library Binding)

This book had me laughing the most! Despite what some reviewers have said and critisized about this one, its my MOST fav of the Georgia series to date! Why? Because I COULD NOT STOP LAUGHING, Angus really is so hilarious in this one. Not to mention Libby. And even Georgia has gotten funnier. The hilariosity scale is pushed up,uP,UP! As Georgia is now considering she may just be an "Easy Fondelree(Hence: Someone who is easily fondeled)". And her Snogging withdrawal. As always her conversations with Jas & her stark observations envoke MUCH HILARIOSITY&MUCH UNCONCEALED LAUGHTER!

Personally none of the other books really had a plot either, I mean it is a diary anyways...In a real diary are you concerned about plot? Uh no....Only writing your thoughts! And that's EXACTLY what Louise has done...Write out Georgia's thoughts as though they are real! And I congradulate her for that.! She does it in the MOST hilarious ways...I never thought these books were all to funny up until "Knocked out by my nunga-nugas", but I did still continue reading them anyways.

If you'de read the other books in the series you SHOULD enjoy this...Though I CAN'T gurantee ANYTHING...Since I'm NOT you.! But take a chance, its hilarious!!! A bit short, but none-the-less HILARIOUS! In my opinion this is AT LEASt as good as the first, maybe even better!(Just maybe, to me anyways!) Can't wait for book #4 "Dancing in my Nuddy Pants(Though the title may be changed in the USA I don't know, but it is due to be released in July in the UK).

God Bless ~Amy
