I remember watching the movie adaptation of this when I was 11, it was kinda ridiculous but I loved it anyway. So when I found out that it was based off of a book series I was so excited. Overall it wasn't that bad of a book, I just was not a huge fan of the writing style and how annoying Georgia was. Maybe I would've loved this book more if I had read it when I was 12.

Funny, fresh, and fluffy... think Meg Cabot's _Princess Diaries_ in a British setting, only more flippant and less romanticized. Not sure whether I'll read the sequel (I grabbed both at a library booksale). I enjoyed reading this one, but being all uber-feminist, it was kind of hard to enjoy the main character's relationship with her significantly older boyfriend -- "She's just being used," was all I could think. Also, now that I'm all grown up, I sympathized less with the main character and more with her parents, but that's neither here nor there.

I don't know what it was about this book, but I could not get into the story at all. I didn't have any vested interest in the characters, and the journal format of the book did not translate well to the audio version I listened to, even though the narrator was FANTASTIC. 2 stars, but more like 1 1/2.

I think this is a YA book that many adults won't enjoy. This is definitely teen-geared. Maybe that is why I had difficulty getting into the plot.

I HIGHLY recommend getting this book in audio form. It is hysterical, and the CD narrator is spot-on. I can't tell you how many times I laughed out loud. Rennison captures the mind and heart of a teenage girl with such accuracy, I seriously remembered feeling those things as a 14 year old. Really, truly, super YA reading.

Georgia Nicholson is your typical 14-year girl struggling with a teacher who dislikes her, parents who don't understand her, a little sister who leaves undesirable "presents" in Georgia's bedroom, and a major crush on an 18-year old hottie in a band. Her troubles with school, boys, friends, boys, parents, and boys are divulged through each entry in this diary-style narrative. Louise Rennison truly captures young teen angst In this hilariously laugh-out-loud novel.

I have to say that I found myself laughing so hard while reading that I had to wipe away tears before I could continue reading. There's nothing that gets attention faster than reading this book in public. I would venture to guess that at least 5-6 people picked up this book after witnessing my fits of laughter from reading this book.

Couldn't really say DNF-ed this because I did read the entire first book but I'm not convinced to continue with the entire series. It was funny at times though, like I'm snooping around a teenage girl's diary but it's just not for me. I'm just not in the right mindset now. Could've loved this if I read it a couple of years ago.
