Product Description
p Time to gird the loins and pucker up. /p p Blimey O'Reilly's trousers! Three maybe-boyfriends is a lot for any girl to handle#8212;red-bottomed or not. What with Robbie the Sex God back from Kiwi-a-gogo land wanting to "get coffee" and whatsit, Masimo the Luuurve God saying things like "iCiao/i, Georgia, see you later" (the good see-you-later or the bad see-you-later??), and her mate Dave the Laugh snogging her in a pond, it's enough to make any girl mad. /p p Good thing she has the ace gang to keep her sane. Ish. /p p But now that she has tearfully eschewed Robbie the Sex God with a firm hand, Georgia is left with two potential snoggees to choose from, and it's high time she left the cakeshop of love for good. This time with a gorgey Italian cakey. Or a nip-libbling Dave the Tart. But certainly not both. Maybe. /p

love these books December 1, 2008
My daughter is 14 and I am 38. We both love this series and can't wait for the next one. They are a quick and easy read, and make you chuckle out loud. Just good silly fun.

The Ace Gang November 26, 2008
First off, this book has been written in the everyday slang dialogues of a brit teen. If you're not fully acquainted, you may need to analyze what has been written from time to time to get a full understanding.br /br /However, it doesn't make it any less good or interesting. With new words like 'undercrackers' - it adds a touch of delight to your read.br /br /The book is written as a series of diary (or blog) entries, happening as frequently as "thirty seconds later." br /br /Georgia has a few love interests throughout the book. The book's main premise are these young men. How she handles (and sometimes simply perceives) these situations is nothing short of being a drama queen. Who is a bit bossy.br /br /It is funny. The humour is dry, which works well in a book. Here is a couple of quick snippets from random pages in the book:br /br /br /ONE MINUTE LATERbr /When I say "gay" I don't mean gay as in an "Ooooohhh do you like my big beard?" sort of way. I mean that I was merely being cheerful.br /br /FOUR SECONDS LATERbr /Anyway, shut up brain, I must think. Now is not the time for a rambling trip to Ramble land. Now is the time to put my foot down with a firm hand and stop snogging my not boyfriend Dave the Laugh.br /br /br /The whole book is filled with this chatter.

STOP IN THE NAME OF PANTS! is, as ever, highly entertaining and hilarious. November 19, 2008
Georgia Nicolson just doesn't stop. She can't help getting into more red bottomous situations with snogging partners who are not her Italian Luuurve God boyfriend. As if that weren't enough, summer is almost over, the bonkers parents don't understand why she absolutely needs to visit Italy, and ex-boyfriend Robbie the Sex God is back in town. Erlack.br /br /If you didn't understand that, then clearly you are unfamiliar with the Confessions of Georgia Nicolson series. Stop reading here, go to the bookstore and buy the first book, ANGUS, THONGS, AND FULL-FRONTAL SNOGGING (which, incidentally, is now a film, scheduled to be released in the U.S. this fall).br /br /For those who are familiar with the mad Miss Nicolson, STOP IN THE NAME OF PANTS! will not be a disappointment. This ninth installment of the series features Georgia in the heat of summer, and at the heat of confusion, missing her new Italian boyfriend, Masimo, and accidentally snogging Dave the Laugh. Again. And, of course, the ace gang has their share of boyfriend ups and downs, and Georgia is there to comment on it all.br /br /Reading the Georgia Nicolson books is like reading a great blog. Even if nothing happens, your narrator is so hilarious, you love the way she describes the most mundane things. STOP IN THE NAME OF PANTS! is not driven by plot so much as by character. It really is like peeking into someone's diary --- it's just that that someone lives in an alternate universe so much unlike our own, yet it's very similar as well. This isn't a story. This is a life. Or something. Surely Georgia would have a better word for it.br /br /There is no shortage of hilarious words in the book, and at this point, they don't even faze me when I read them. Of course "geniosity" and "marvy" are words. And of course the only acceptable way to refer to the country from whence Georgia's boyfriend hails is Pizza-a-gogo-land.br /br /Thankfully, the series isn't static. Characteristically, Georgia is just a little crazy, as are her friends, parents and little sister Libby. And, of course, the book spans only a few months of her life. But things are changing and progressing. Jas and Tom are having problems, Robbie is again dating Wet Lindsay, and you'll never guess what happens to Georgia's dear cat Angus. Louise Rennison has managed to stay completely in the tune of what has made her books so popular without making them boring. STOP IN THE NAME OF PANTS! is, as ever, highly entertaining and hilarious.br /br / --- Reviewed by Sarah Hannah Gomez

disappointing November 13, 2008
I'm a big fan of the first few Georgia Nicholson books, but this last one is a big disappointment. The first few books are so hilarious that the fact that the style is pretty contrived and there is basically no plot line is only a little annoying. However, those bad tendencies are amplified 10x in this book and Georgia's funny, self-absorbed adventures and commentary are much less entertaining than other books in the series. It just seems like Renninson wrote it in a long weekend and clearly has no regard or care to develop the plot or characters. Of course this is a youth book, but there are glaring errors, like calling Dave the Laugh's girlfriend two different names in the same paragraph. Just disappointing because the other books are so hilarious and entertaining.

Sure didn't seem like it was new.br /Same old same old except for the incident with Angus.br /I just want something to happen in this series already.br /I'm mad that I ran out and spent nearly 20$ for this book and I could have just reread one of the other ones for Pete's sake!br /
