I've read these many, many times now. I'm technically too old for them and I've managed to finish all ten in nine days, beating my previous record of ten days. But I like having a bit of lighthearted easy reading for a change. There's humour (although you can tell they've been around a while now and unfortunately make many, then innocent, references to a now disgraced celebrity). There's nothing seriously grim and depressing. Which is the point in reading them. Everything in the world is so grim and depressing that it makes a change.

I read this series a long time ago and even though it's been a long time, I can say without a doubt, it is one of my favourite series. All the characters are great and they grow with the books, there's a lot of hilarious moments that never get old. Some moments are funny because they're so relatable and others are just flat out hysterical.
Very entertaining and I can't wait to re-read them.

There was a time in my mid teens when I loved this series. To a point where my friend and I would regularly read excerpts of it to each other every day. It still makes me laugh when I read it.

I was laughing out loud, uncontrollably before I was even 10 pages into this book, and I hardly stopped throughout the remainder. If you're older than Georgia is in the book (she's 14), it will take you back to when you were 14 and/or first becoming interested in boys and trying to figure out what things like, "See you later," really means. If you need a good laugh and a quick read, this is a great book to fulfill those needs. I read this book in a few hours, and I can't wait to get a copy of the next book for when I need a light, hilarious read.

I only finished this because it is very short. If Caitlin Moran had a really bad head injury, this is what she'd write.

Some part of it was REALLY FUNNY!
some other part of it was a bit too young for me. or am I THAT old, I wonder?

A bit too YA for me. Cute and silly but the narrator is just obnoxious. I'm sure I was too at 14, and we can't all be Katniss, but I was hoping for more.
