Oh how i so frequently worship at the altar of georgia nicholson. And more particularly the author Louise Rennison who puts her often hilarious adventures into print for slavish fans like me to lap up on the day of release. Stop In The Name of Pants is the 9th in the continuing story of red-bottomed boy entrancer Georgia and her "ace gang" ~ all the ace gang now have boys: vole lover Jas is still besotted with Tom (brother of Sex God who Georgia dates in the first few books); Rosie and nordic Sven still have the Viking Horn for each other and wear matching fur running suits to the school discos; Ellen is looking forward to getting up to number six on the snogging scale (lip nibbling and some outside the bra action) with her latest snare. Georgia is on the rack of luuuurve trying to choose between her latest gorgey to the power of 12 fella Masimo (Italian luurve god) and Dave the Laugh who her thoughts keep turning to mid snog with Masimo who may or may not be an Italian lesbian. It's bonkers in the extreme, and extremely brilliant. And there is a rather off kilter but just devastating heart rendering bit in the middle of the story that gives some much needed gravitas to the story and adds a layer of likeability to the hilarious but self centered Georgia. I'm slightly ashamed that the reviews on amazon state that this book is ideal for 11-15 year old girls. But then so much of the music i like is for pre-pubescent virgins also :) And look! There is lot of georgia nicholson stuffing coming up. Hurrah!!
