...and That's When It Fell Off in My Hand (Confessions of Georgia Nicolsn) [Hardcover]

Louise Rennison (Author)

Book Description

Series: Confessions of Georgia Nicolsn | Publication Date: June 7, 2004

Brilliantly funny, teenage angst author Louise Rennison's fifth book about the confessions of crazy but lovable Georgia Nicolson. Louise will be a star on the HarperCollins teenage list. "11. 20a. m. This is my fabulous life: the Sex God left for Whakatane last month and he has taken my heart with him. 11. 25a. m. Not literally of course otherwise there would be a big hole in my nunga nungas. 11. 28a. m. And also I would be dead. Which quite frankly would be a blessing in disguise. 12. 00p. m. It is soooo boring being brokenhearted...but Georgia doesn't remain brokenhearted for long: frequent snogging extravaganzas with old flame, Dave the Laugh, and the arrival of jelloid-knee-inducing Italian stallion, Masimo, mean that Georgia has her work cut out to remain the composed sex-kitten that she aspires to be. Follow Georgia's hilarious antics as she desperately muddles her way through teenage life and all that it entails: make-up disasters, rapidly expanding nunga nungas, school - urgh, unsympathetic friends, highly embarrassing family (and pets) and, of course, BOYS.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Praise for Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging: "Bridget Jones for teenagers -- but funnier. Expect Potter-esque queues for the sequel." The Sunday Telegraph "Don't miss this gem" The Guardian Praise for other "Georgia titles: "Hilarious. Georgia Nicolson's laugh-a-minute narration picks up right where Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging left off." Publishers weekly (starred review) "As fabbity-fab-fab as its predecessor" ALA Booklist (starred review) "For those who already know and love Georgia, there's only one word necessary: more." Kirkus Reviews

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.
