I first started reading these books when i was about 14 and every single one in the Georgia series is fantastic. Almost 5 years on since i read the first one i still enjoy looking back over them. They are deffinately a one of a kind laugh out loud books and i would not suggest reading them in a quiet place as you will be in a fit of hysterics.
Louise Rennison does a fantastic job at portraying the life of an average if not slightly insane teenager her life and everything in it from her wild cat angus to her often crazy love interests.
I would reccomend this book to anyone who just wants to read something that is completely and utterly feel good and a book that will have you laughing all night.

Georgia Nicoleson is a distraught teenager, crushed by her love loss. Although, her friends are supporting and it's not long before she meets a new sex god. Georgia argues a lot with her best friend Jas, but she needs her friends to escape the madness of her house. Her family are interfering and an embarrassment to her.
The main character is Georgia Nicoleson. I sympathise for her, because she has quite a troubled life. She finds her family highly embarrassing and she doesn't like her friends to see them at all. She has a cat called Angus, whom is quite like a human to them, and the way that his actions are described is quite human like. Georgia's best friend, Jas, is mentioned frequently throughout and her character is ambitious and outgoing like many of her friends. All of the characters have situations that everyday people can relate to.
The genre of this book is humour/romance. The book is about a teenage girl in love, but there is a humorous twist to it. Romance it may be, you'll still find it hilarious.
There are many enjoyable aspects of the book, such as, when Georgia went to a party to meet this handsome boy, Masimo, she wore false eye lashers and when she was talking to him they glued her eyes shut. I liked this part, because it was very funny to read and she couldn't re-open her eyes.
The story moves quite slowly, because it is in the form of a diary. Although the pace is slow, there isn't too much description. But you still know what is going on.
I think that the author has tried to achieve to her potential readers a glimpse into the life of a 16 year old and the ups and downs that may occur throughout home, school and social events.
I think that the opening to the book could be improved, it isn't very appealing. The opening is quite boring and not exciting. But apart from this I think that the book is very good and balanced, including a bit of everything.
I would recommend this book for 12-16 year old girls, because they can relate to the language and situations of the book. Overall I would recommend this book, because it's hilariously life like and based on everyday occurrences of a typical 16 year old's life experiences and will keep you laughing from page to page.
unbelievably funny

to paraphrase georgia herself in the intro to the 7th book in the series ("startled by his furry shorts"),
"my fans, which even includes some vatis (which is a little alarming)"
these books would make anybody laugh out loud. if you are a girl, they are exactly what it was like to be a teenager. if you are a boy, read them and you will finally understand girls!
they are all hilarious and louise rennison is a comedy genius, but this is the funniest of the lot!
never before...
