Audiobook Review: On the Bright Side, I'm Now the Girlfriend of a Sex God


Be sure to check out the Georgia Nicolson Reading Challenge!

Rating: 4/5 Stars

Genre: Contemporary

Release Date: 4/10/2001

About the Book: Georgia and the Sex God (aka Robbie) are finally dating, although Georgia fears that joining her Vati (father) in Kiwi-a-go-go land (New Zealand) will make her loose Robbie. But when Robbie decides Georgia is too young, Georgia determines to use Dave the Laugh to make Robbie jealous. Will Georgia end up winning the SG back or will she fall for Dave the Laugh?

GreenBeanTeenQueen Says: Georgia is back and she's as fabulous as ever. I can't read (0r listen) to one of these books without cracking up. Georgia and her friends are so goofy and self-centered (without realizing they're self-centered and without being annoying) that it makes me laugh.

I adored Dave the Laugh-I think he's a great addition and as great as the SG is I think I like Dave the Laugh better. Even though this one centers around Georgia and trying to win Robbie back, the parts I found the most hilarious were the situations with her parents-her father is away and her mother is flirting with the cute doctor.

I really like listening to these books on audio because I enjoy hearing the British narrator-Stina Neilson narrates the first four audiobooks and I think she has the perfect Georgia voice. Plus, it's fun to hear all the British slang. There is a glossary in the back of the books, but I'm able to understand the books without using the glosssary which you don't get until the end of the CDs, so it's not necessary to have while reading.

I really wish the Georgia movie would get released in the U.S. And even though it's not Dave the Laugh that comes up with the nunga-nunga thing, I still the movie does a good job portraying him.

Comments

  1. These books are so very funny and I saw this movie on the plane back from England and couldn't work out why they won't release it here in the US

  2. I have to take a look at this book series, even if I'm not a teen anymore :)

    Poor sweet David the Laugh at the end of that scene.

Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell

Rating: 5/5 Stars Genre: Realistic Fiction Release Date: 2/26/2013 Add to Goodreads About the Book: Eleanor and Park are both misfits. When new girl Eleanor sits next to Park on the bus, they don't want anything to do with each other. But over the course of the school year, things change. It starts with comic books and becomes a friendship and a romance that the two will never forget. You never forget your first love. GreenBeanTeenQueen Says: Have you ever had a book sit on your shelf that you've heard so much hype about? And you think that books sounds like it would be right up your alley, but you're in a reading slump and you're afraid to give it a try unless it fails? I knew Eleanor and Park sounded like my perfect book, but I was in such an after committee slump that I even though I knew this book would help, I just didn't want to be disappointed. I should have known better because Eleanor and Park was perfect and everything that I had hoped it wou

Post Downton Abbey Reading List

Downton Abbey is over (with a shocking and frustrating ending!) and now I'm suffering Downton Abbey withdrawal. I've got a reading list full of books that I hope will satisfy my post-Downton Abbey cravings and I thought I'd share what's in my pile and get suggestions for other after Downton reads. Here's what I hope to be reading this year (a mix of YA and adult titles):                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  A couple Julian Fellowes reads:                And a few re-reads:                    Edited to add: What's on your Post-Downton Abbey reading list?
