Georgia is back and she has a serious dilemma. She gave Masimo (aka The Italian Stallion) an ultimatum be her one-and-only boyfriend kind-of-guy or no more of this snogging business. He said hed think about it.

Ack.

Then theres Dave the Laugh who just might have declared his undying love for Georgia. Did he? Is he interested? More importantly, is she?

Then theres all the drama involved with planning a Viking Wedding for Rosie and Sven, preparing for the Macbeth play at school, and (every now and then) thinking about the Sex God down there in Kiwi-a-go-go-land.

Georgia is her regular hysterical self with even more catchy Brit slang in this book than in the last one I read (or maybe its just been a while since I read a Georgia book). The handy dictionary in the back is a lifesaver sometimes.

At the end, we get the BIG surprise which I, of course, am not going to tell you one thing about. It just wouldnt be fair. It will also drive you crazy, since youll have to wait for the next Georgia book to get a resolution to the situation, but thats what its all about, right?

Startled By His Furry Shorts is only the latest book (number seven) in a fabulously hilarious series, Confessions of George Nicholson, by Louise Rennison. In book number six, we left Georgia after she asked Italian hottie Masimo to actually be her boyfriend instead of going out with her and other girls (like useless, nerdy, stupid Wet Lindsay, a member of the school Hitler Youth), and he said he needed time to think it over. Dave the Laugh also (maybe) loves her. And then there's Robbie, aka the Sex God, living in Kiwi-a-gogo land who she still hears from sometimes.

In book number seven, Georgia's life is a mess. She's got to distract herself from her disastrous love life! She's got a few distractions, too. One distraction is the play rehearsals for Macbeth (aka MacUseless), in which they do improvised fire juggling. Another is her (very, very insane) family: younger sister Libby who puts makeup on a statue of Jesus and renames him Sandra, two insane cats named Angus and Gordy, a father who wears leather pants, a mother who thinks she is a teenager, a bald uncle who likes Abba's Dancing Queen, a grandfather with a girlfriend who knits balaclavas without eye holes....Clearly, Georgia's entire family is insane. As are her friends. Rosie and Sven are planning a Viking wedding for Rosie's twenty-first birthday in five and a half years' time. Jas and Tom are still hunting for interesting lizards.

Basically, Georgia's life is insane. Startled By His Furry Shorts, the account of Georgia's latest adventures, is hilarious, a definite must-read, as expected by fans of the first six Confessions Of Georgia Nicholson. This book is absolutely MARVELOUS. Or marvy, as Georgia and her friends would say. This book will have you laughing hysterically. As in, laughing until your sides hurt and your milk comes out of your nose (which is actually sort of painful as well). It will have readers rolling on the floor laughing, and craving more!
