Average customer review:Product Description
Hilariously funny Louise Rennison's fabby sixth book of the confessions of crazy but lovable teenager Georgia Nicolson. Guaranteed to have the nation laughing their knickers off! "Come on, Jas, you do really want to know my plan, especially as it concerns you, my little hairy pally." "I'm not hairy." "Have it your own way, just don't go near any circuses." "Shut up. Go on then, tell me your plan." "OK, this is it: when I go to Hamburger-a-gogo land! you come with me! Do you see? We will be like Thelma and Louise!" "We're not called Thelma and Louise." "I know that, I'm just saying we will be LIKE THEM!" "And we're not American. And neither of us can drive." "Oh dear God. Jas, your spaceship has arrived. Please get in." Laugh your knickers off at Georgia's tales from her trip to Hamburger-a-gogo land (the US) and her attempts to entice Masimo, the Italian stallion. Can Georgia become the composed sex-kitten she aspires to be!?

Amazon.co.uk Review
Rennison’s subversive diaries of teenager Georgia Nicholson, now into their sixth volume of reprehensible marvelosity, have been consistently funny and uproariously real ever since her first confessions, contained in Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging appeared yonks ago in 1999. The unique language of Georgia’s hectic existence, and assorted life disasters--her day-to-day relationships with friends, family, cats, various other olds and potential love gods---all add up, each time, to an unmissable feast for her fans and new devotees alike.
Georgia, pining for her new wannabe heart throb and Italian-American stallion Masimo, who is currently visiting rellies in the States, is bolstered by the news that she and Mutti and Vati are off to Hamburger-a-gogo land as well. It’ll be the perfect opportunity for Georgia to partake of a really long holiday snogathon with the (probable) man of her dreams. Slight problem number one is that Masimo is in New York, and the Nicholsons are headed to Memphis.
But all is not lost. Jas, Georgia’s bestest mate from the Ace Gang, can go with them and she can help get the two lovebirds together. Slight problem number two is the re-emergence in her life, via letters from Kiwi-a-gogo land, of Robbie the love god. What with Dave the Horn never far away either, the future of Georgia’s mixed-up love life is reaching a critical, decision-making stage.
There’s no better series of books for teens around at the moment that capture more accurately the trials of life in the hormone-emerging fast lane. Rennison, a stand-up comedienne of some renown, injects each page with the sharpest, wittiest and achingly relevant material there is. It certainly doesn’t get any better than this. And… it’s another cliffhanger ending, so expect more marvy confessions soon.

I'm Addicted, when's the next one?
I'm not a teenager in years but mentally I have been told I am. I originally bought "It's ok I'm wearing really big Knickers" for my twenty something daughter, 2 xmas' ago. It was meant as a joke due to her liking for really big knickers as a child... she read it and told me "Mum you really have to read it. I was laughing so much on the train a lady actually asked me what I was reading". So I read it and laughed myself stupid and from there on I was hooked. I bought the whole series and waited impatiently for each new book to come out. Then he ate my boy entrancers has got to be one of the funniest, especially the scene with Georgia at the disco and her lashes sticking together. Rennison's description of her dilema had me doubled up. I just wish she would write a bit faster as I can't wait for the next book...
Laughing like a loon on loon tablets... i.e. A LOT
As soon as I heard that this one was coming out, I HAD to have it. Since I read an extract about 5 years ago(yep, THAT long), I was hooked on the Georgia books - I went out and got the 1st book and I was laughing that much, I went and bought the others. Georgia and Jas remind me of me and my friend sooo much - she always did the flicky fringey thing lol. Although this book isn't as good as the others, it's still a great book, and what I did like was the way it focused on her struggle with Dave the laugh. She HAS to end up with Dave, or it just won't have been worth it! They are so great for each other, and it seems like only Georgia can't see it!! Come on Louise, don't let us down...
