I love all the Georgia Nicolson books but the most recent ones, this book included, have started to get a bit repetitive. While they are still quite funny the story line seems to stay the same: Georgia decides on one guy in the beginning of the book, meets another boy half way through and by the end is split between these two guys. If you've read and enjoyed the other books in the series then I'd say read this one too, but don't expect anything different.

The book is hilarious like all the others. But i also have to say the delivery was fantastic and i recieved it the day after i had ordered it, even without getting express delivery. Thank you amazon!

I am a long time fan of Georgia Nicolson and have just read the newest installment. It might be just me growing out of the series (which I doubt because these books seem to be aimed at my age group) but I really felt as though nothing really happened in the book. Nothing in it grabbed my attention or pulled me in and i think that perhaps Louise Rennison is getting a tad lazy because of the series' growing popularity. By Nicole, aged 15.
Courtesy of Teens Read Too July 26, 2008 Watch out, mates! Georgia Nicolson has returned, and she definitely hasn't learned from her past mistakes.
Aside from trying to survive in the woods with all the creatures and (apparently) pigs roaming around, Georgia just got herself in a pickle when Dave the Laugh/Tart ended up kissing her when she fell. What makes it even worse, besides the fact that Dave has a girlfriend, is that Georgia just so happened to have recently become the girlfriend of the Italian Stallion.
It's a good thing that Massimo is miles away, because he would have gone bonkers if he found out what had happened. It's another thing that he hasn't called ever since he left.
Sure, she is stuck with two potential boyfriends, but what else is knew? Georgia must choose between the two before she ends up all by herself.
Aside from her boy troubles, her Mutti and Vati are continuing to fight and it's getting even worse, especially when Vati is changing his appearance into something no one should ever have to lay their eyes on. And before going back to Stalag 14, Georgia must have the best time ever with her mates, hopefully using most of her time not thinking about who she needs to choose between.
Who knew someone like Georgia could get into even more trouble? Wait, we all did!
The previous novels in the series have been absolutely hilarious, and STOP IN THE NAME OF PANTS! is no exception. The laughs keep on coming in this installment, and Georgia is crazier than ever. A series that you could never get tired of, it should come with a caution note on it: Warning, may cause hysterical laughter and odd looks from passerby when read in public!

After reading the 9th of this series I am utterly dissappointed. Having read the diaries from the beggining, to find out the ending, I am tied to reading yet another of these books which, for better words, have become tiresome. Louise Renninson is getting lazy. This book is far from one of her best and personally, I wish she'd just put Dave and Georgia together and be done with it. Turn her talents to another series - to up and maintain her, what must be declining, fan base. A dull read compared to her others, I may have to consider leaving the series unfinshed as I am rappidly losing patience.
