Product Description
Time to gird the loins and pucker up. Blimey O'Reilly's trousers! Three maybe-boyfriends is a lot for any girl to handle?red-bottomed or not. What with Robbie the Sex God back from Kiwi-a-gogo land wanting to "get coffee" and whatsit, Masimo the Luuurve God saying things like "Ciao, Georgia, see you later" (the good see-you-later or the bad see-you-later??), and her mate Dave the Laugh snogging her in a pond, it's enough to make any girl mad. Good thing she has the ace gang to keep her sane. Ish. But now that she has tearfully eschewed Robbie the Sex God with a firm hand, Georgia is left with two potential snoggees to choose from, and it's high time she left the cakeshop of love for good. This time with a gorgey Italian cakey. Or a nip-libbling Dave the Tart. But certainly not both. Maybe.

 This is a new book? September 5, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Sure didn't seem like it was new.
Same old same old except for the incident with Angus.
I just want something to happen in this series already.
I'm mad that I ran out and spent nearly 20$ for this book and I could have just reread one of the other ones for Pete's sake!
 Gorgey! Hamburger-A-Go-Go-Land lurrrves Georgia Nicholson! August 28, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Stop in the Name of Pants! is the ninth book in the Georgian Nicolson series, which is full of hilariousity, lurrve, bestest pallies and all the things that make being a teenage girl the rollercoaster ride that it is.
This hilarious, British series for teens is best appreciated when read in order:
1.Angus, Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging
2.On the Bright Side, I'm Now the Girlfriend of a Sex God
3.Knocked Out by My Nunga-Nungas
4.Dancing in My Nuddy Pants
5.Away Laughing on a Fast Camel (or outside North America, And Then It Fell Off in My Hand)
6.Then He Ate My Boy Entrancers
7.Startled by His Furry Shorts
8.Love Is a Many Trousered Thing
I fell in love with the first book, found the series dragged in books two and three (was very disappointed Georgia never went to Kiwi-A-Go-Go-Land), but then was delighted I stuck around, because the series eventually found a great pace starting with Away Laughing on a Fast Camel.
When we last left Georgia at the end of Love Is a Many Trousered Thing, she had left the Cake Shop of Lurrve with the Italian pastry, otherwise known as the Lurrve God, after eschewing Robbie, otherwise knows as the Sex God, with a firm hand. But then Dave the Laugh had to go and spoil it all with a kiss. What's Georgia to do?
Well, I'm not going to spoil it by telling you, but I will tell you Stop in the Name of Pants is full of the romance and humor that has made this series an international hit, and fans of the series will not be disappointed. I will also tell you this book, like the last four, ends on a cliffhanger, or as Georgia would put it, with her once again on the Rack of Lurrve. I can also tell you there's a dramatic event in this book that surprised me and had me in tears, but it still fit the series perfectly. It's always nice when a series can continue to surprise you as far in as book nine and yet remain true to itself.
Oh, and one small problem--this book is missing the Snogging Scale. Of course, the reader can always refer to an earlier book for that, and some bonus features here include instructions for The Viking Bison Disco Inferno dance, The Snot Disco Inferno dance, and The Viking Disco Hornpipe Extravaganza dance; the Having a Hump Scale (which is what we call "getting mad" in Hamburger-A-Go-Go-Land); the Losing It Scale; and of course one of Georgia's glossaries, which explains UK English words in a way that only Georgia can.
The Georgia Nicolson books are a laugh-out-loud treat, and they are even better in audio. I'm also looking forward to seeing the first movie, Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging, when it arrives in the USA, the sooner the better.
Nunga Nungas or not, Georgia Nicolson knocks me out!
Fun Read for Young & Not So Young Women! August 22, 2008
Ok, so this is a young adult book, but I'm the mother of a teen, and I loved it! My daughter laughed out loud so often while she was reading, that I just had to read it, too. Though neither of us have read any of the author's other works, we're both planning on getting more. The main character is easy to identify with, and she's just so bubbly and fun that you can't help but love her and her antics.
Another home run August 22, 2008
Rennison has done it again with a nother hilarious book. Her writing is so crazily refreshing and honest. This series keeps me laughing out loud at the antics and descriptions.
I think she has done a great job of getting into the head of a teenager and all the psychodrama of her life--especially how melodramtic dating can be. This is like Bridget Jones for teenagers.
mabye if I was a tenager... August 22, 2008
I had not read the other Georgia books so I was a little lost in the beginning. The dictonary in the back help with some of the terms she uses which can get very confusing.
I think I am just too old for this book. I can't remeber being like this as a teenager and can not relate to Georgia.
By the end I felt for her but was glad it was over.
