From KLIATT's March 2003 review of the book: "The irrepressible Georgia is back, and that's cause for celebration for fans of her previous, hilarious titles.... In diary form, Georgia brings us up to date on the doings of her friends and family.... Much of the fun here is in the telling, as Georgia creates her own vocabulary: the U.S. is 'Hamburger-a-gogo land,' for example. A funny glossary at the end helps Americans with the British slang..., unfailingly entertaining.... Great silly fun, but you need to read the other titles first to fully appreciate this one."

Nelson has the perfect voice for this sequel to Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging, navigating the minute-by-minute diary accounting of a bubbling British teenager. Faultlessly and enthusiastically, she manipulates Georgia's tongue-tripping diary-monologues, safely surrounding words and phrases such as "impetuosity," "nip libbling," "ear snogging," "shallowosity," "nunga-nungas," and "red bottomosity." American teens might have some trouble with words like "knickers," but it all moves along so fast, they won't have time to wonder. Mary Purucker, Beverly Hills PL., Beverly Hills, CA
