Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 7-9–Georgia Nicolson's life is full of drama and trauma, and no one seems to understand–not Mutti, not Vati, not her best friend, Jas. Georgia's family is off for the uncharted reaches of Hamburger-a-gogo-land, and she is sure she will see her crush, Masimo, there. Her family will be visiting Memphis, but surely Manhattan isn't far? And it shouldn't be difficult to track down a family called Scarlotti in Manhattan, right? When the Nicholsons return home, Masimo unseen, Georgia is sad. She is truly heartbroken, however, when he comes back and seems more interested in Wet Lindsay than in Georgia herself. This is not a stand-alone title; some of the situations are better understood by knowing the vast and storied history that is Georgia's life–her hatred for Wet Lindsay, for example, and her past with the former Sex God, Robbie. Favorite characters are back, including Dave the Laugh, Mad Libby, and Angus. Georgia and Company share a common language full of made-up words and some British slang (there's a glossary in the back full of helpfulosity). While the situations and plot are not unique, Georgia's voice is. Fans will clamor for more and be happy to hear that the open ending leaves a sequel quite likely.–Sarah Couri, New York Public Library

From Booklist

Gr. 7-10. In sixth adventure, Georgia Nicolson finally makes it to "Hamburger-a-gogo land" (the U.S.) on a family vacation. She is in Memphis, Tennessee, and her observations on Americans' speech, hygiene, cuisine, and customs are as priceless as readers of the diary series might expect. Still, less than 50 pages are devoted to Georgia's adventures in America; the remainder of the story centers around her usual dilemmas of who to flirt with, misadventures with cats and kittens, annoying little sisters, irritating parents, and the general delirium of being a teenager. Once again, the hilarious glossary does not disappoint, and this time a tell-all CD interview with Rennison is included as an extra bonus. This title doesn't stand alone, but the charmingly self-absorbed Georgia has earned a large and loving readership, and her new adventure leaves fans in a giddy state. Debbie Carton

5.0 out of 5 stars Full of Hilariosity and Fun!, May 28, 2005

This review is from: Then He Ate My Boy Entrancers: More Mad, Marvy Confessions of Georgia Nicolson (Hardcover)

This is the sixth book in the Georgia Nicolson series, and it continues the absolutely hilarious life of Georgia and her mates. Georgia's family is going to Hamburger-a-go-go Land (America) and Georgia is going to be on the lookout for Masimo, aka The Italian Stallion. What ensues is truly funny: Georgia's family continues to embarrass her in spectacular fashion; her "elderly mad" grand-vati is left in charge of Angus and Gordy; and her friends are always on hand to lend wisdomosity. Of course things never go as planned with Georgia, but that's part of the fun and Rennison keeps the story moving at a fast clip. I was literally in tears of laughter at several points during this book. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Georgia returns in top form...and her love life is more confused than ever!, September 12, 2005

This review is from: Then He Ate My Boy Entrancers: More Mad, Marvy Confessions of Georgia Nicolson (Hardcover)

"Then He Ate My Boy Entrancers" (get your minds out of the gutter, Georgia's talking about fake eyelashes!) breathes new life into a formerly tired series, a sort of Bridget Jones for the tween set. Written with biting humor and supposedly based on the author's school chums, the Georgia Nicolson books capture the lunacy, laughs and just-for-girls-only moments of adolescence: boys and dating, proper makeup application and kissing techniques, and clothes shopping, mostly. Don't be put off by the Young Adult status: these books are wickedly funny and utterly deranged. Consider the following:

"Rosie went off to her bedroom. She said, "I am going to be Massimo, so I have to get in the mood for luuurve." She came back five minutes later wearing a false beard with a banana down her jeans. I said, "Why have you got a banana down your jeans?" Rosie said, "It was Sven's suggestion. He said it is representitative of the pant python." Ellen said, "I...er..do you mean like a boy's, er, well..." Rosie said, "Exactomondo, my little pally."

Followed by snogging (kissing) practice:

"Then Rosie said, "Finally, as you haven't had any snogging practice in a while, try an experimental snog on the back of my leg." What??? Absolutely not, not a snowball's chance in hell. No and three times no... Fifteen minutes later: On my knees snogging the back of Rosie's leg whilst the ace gang watch me."

In this, the newest novel, Georgia is more philosophical than usual, as her red-bottomosity is out of hand: she is asked out by Italian Vespa-driving hunk Massimo, receives a letter from her ex-Sex God Robbie, currently in New Zealand (or Kiwi-A-GoGo-Land, as G. calls it), and Dave the Laugh seems to think that she's the one and only girl for him. What's a girl to do?

She relies on her friends, the Ace Gang (Jas, Jools, Ro Ro, Ellen), to give her guidance in this most trying of times. G. goes as far as flying to Hamburger-a-gogo land (America) in a desperate attempt to find Massimo, complicated by the fact that she thinks Memphis is next to Manhattan. Once back in Billy Shakespeare land (England), Georgia must decide what her heart is trying to tell her. Also along the way, Georgia nearly manages to ruin her feet in too-small shoes while dressed to impress, is involved in a naughty nuddy-pants dance only wearing bison horns, and mangles the French and German languages at will.

Includes a handy glossary translating Britishisms and Georgia-isms, and a mini-CD-ROM with screensavers, audio clips from Louise Rennison (the author), and a Mad-Libs type activity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Louise does it again, May 30, 2005

By

This review is from: Then He Ate My Boy Entrancers: More Mad, Marvy Confessions of Georgia Nicolson (Hardcover)

Wow! Louise didn't disappoint us Georgia Nicolson fans! In the next laugh-a-minute installment in the Confessions of Georgia Nicolson series, Georgia and her best mate Jas head of to Hamburger-a-gogo land (America) to find the Italian Lurrrvve god, Masimo. After a week in America without finding Masimo, Georgia is forced to go back to England by her mutti and vati, where Georgia's hilarious adventures continue! She knows that Masimo is the one for her, but then Robbie the Sex God writes a letter from Kiwi-a-gogo land (New Zealand), and Dave the Laugh
starts acting weird and saying that him and Georgia are meant to be. As always in Georgia's life, nothing is ever normal, and everything is full of hilariousity!
