5.0 out of 5 stars Georgia's Back, July 6, 2008

This review is from: Stop in the Name of Pants! (Confessions of Georgia Nicolson) (Hardcover)

Stop in the Name of Pants finds our favorite teen Brit, Georgia Nicolson, the official girlfriend of the Luuurve God, Masimo, with only one minor problem: he's currently in Pizza-a-Go-Go Land visiting family, and she's all aloney back at homey. Oh, and Robbie (aka The Sex God) is still around and possibly interested. Oh, and erm, yeah, Georgia's accidentally gotten to #5 on the Snog Scale with Dave the Laugh...again. Which gives us plenty of drama and comedy as we follow Georgia's antics as she tries to find dignitosity in all situations.

This particular entry in the series, while still laugh out loud funny, does have a couple of major moments of seriousness that really brought me up short. One thing especially made my heart nearly stop as I was blithely reading along, laughing; Georgia must learn to deal with some things with more maturity than she's shown in the past. Luckily for us, she does and still manages to create great Nordic dance moves, too.

I received this book yesterday and despite wanting to make myself slow down, I just couldn't. I love Georgia and her mates, but I'm beginning to despair that she will ever realize that her true love is RIGHT THERE in the form of Dave the Laugh. The humor is spot on and it's always lovely to spend time with the Nicolson family and the ace gang. Love it but I'm sorely disappointed that now I must again wait a year for the next book. I am full of sadnosity.

1.0 out of 5 stars Seriously?, July 13, 2008

Completely disappointed and angry would be the words I would describe to how I felt after reading this book. It seems Rennison is, as I had suspected, merely churning out empty, "been there" pages and titling it as a book to gain revenue until her readership starts to decline and she has to hurriedly finish the series. I do understand that Georgia and Dave cannot start a relationship without some of the series magic being lost, but really, any progression or actual movement would have been appreciated. The jokes had been done many, many, MANY times before, the Thor dance was contrived and pretty much just the Horn dance with some slapped on extras, and what the heck is the point of Honor and Sophie, the "trainee Ace Gang" members who bring nothing at ALL to the table??
I remain faithful to reading the series purely because the earlier books were so fantastic, and Rennisons characters so hilarious, but should the next book be as draining and pointless as this one, I may have to reconsider.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Great Installment for the Series!, July 5, 2008

By 

Amee E. (Missouri USA) - See all my reviews

Ah, Georgia. We all love her and this ninth installment in the series only makes that love grow. Georgia is at the top of her game and hilarious as always. I know I can always expect a good laugh reading about Georgia and this book delivered.

There is actually a bit of sadness in the middle which produced a few tears from me. I never thought I would cry reading one of these books but Louise Rennison decided to change it up on us. Even though I cried, I really enjoyed this part of the novel because it shows Georgia's life isn't always fun and games.

The tenth in the series should be another good one with a new play that Stalag 14 and the Foxwood boys will be putting on as well as plenty of boyfriend drama for Georgia. I look forward to it!
