Book Description
This colorful tour through the districts of contemporary Dresden offers many unique perspectives of the city's numerous architectural gems, from Saxon and Baroque masterpieces to the world's most attractive automobile plant.
Although much of Dresden's buildings were destroyed during the tragic bombing in 1945, the city has experienced a glorious rebirth, rebuilding many of the damaged structures while creating entirely new and inspiring ultra-modern ones. Organized as a trip around the city, this book uses double-page spreads to highlight the best of the new and old around Dresden's various districts. Stunning aerial photographs show how Dresden's unique situation among the hills and the Elbe River have informed its distinctive infrastructure and offer breathtaking views of Switzerland and the neighboring mountains. A map of the route makes this compact book an ideal travel companion.
Book Description
Georgia Nicolson is now the girlfriend of the Sex God (aka Robbie), and things are wonderful. Except her loony parents are dragging her off to Och Aye land (aka Scotland), and the Sex God's band's chance at a record contract has left her something of a "pop widow."
Then up rears temptation in the form of old flame Dave the Laugh. Is Georgia about to become a shameless vixen?

Knocked Out!!.......2007-04-05
"Knocked out by my Nunga-Nungas" is a histerical book about girls, guys, teenagers in gerneral, gossip, Georgia's, the main character's, family, and her cat, Angus. Georgia Nicholson is a normal teenage girl who has a "sex god", Robbie, as a boyfriend and she has a hard time being faithful to him even though she is totally obsessed with him. Georgia's red botomosity keeps her ending up locking lips with Dave the Laugh, her ex-boyfriend, who never fully got over Georgia. Also, her cat, Angus, fallsin love with the kitten Naomi from across the stree, and has to get his trouser snake removed, which Georgia doesn't agree with.
My favotirte part of this book is when Georgia goes to one of the Stiff Dylans conert anddances in front of Dom's dad because she thought he was a talent scout. This is also the first time Georgia gets mad at Robbie for blowing her off for wet Lindsey. Shortly after that, Georgia kisses Dave the Laugh. This is my favorite part because the author describes what happens, like Georgia's dancing so well that I feel lke I was there.
I deffinetely recommend this book, but mostly to girls because it's about girl sistuations and gossip. Also, if you have read other books in the Geogia Nicholson series I recommend reading this book "Knocked out by My Nunga-Nungas" has been my favorite book in the series yet! If you like girly, funny books, then this is the book for you. In conclusion, I really hope I persuaded you to read this great book full of hilariosity.
Tiresome.......2005-11-27
The first book was refreshing and funny, soured only by continous lesbian bashing. The second book was decidedly less so, and by this third installment, I am personally quite sick of listening to materialistic, shallow and self-centered Brit Georgia Nicholson whine about her parents, friends, and school. Even the subplot - Angus' courting of the neighbors' cat is so out of control Georgia's dad threatens to have him spayed - is not funny.
In Knocked Out, Georgia, having recently hooked up with an older Sex God, is abducted by her parents on a family vacation to Scotland, which she refers to as Och Aye land and insults with her usual brand of dramatic sarcasm. Upon her return, she cheats on her new boyfriend by snogging the guy she used as bait to make the first boyfriend jealous, and debates her decision to date a hot but unavailable older guy versus a funny available boy who obviously likes her IN SPITE of the fact she blatantly used him in the last book. When Dave the Laugh tells her she has to choose, she is in a quandary for all of a DAY before deciding she will find a way to have both. UGH. She is a thoroughly despicable character. Still, the Printz award stamp on book one and the fact that the prequels were popular will make this a likely choice for most libraries.

This is the third book in the series, and it is just as good as the others. :)
knocked out by my..........2005-08-11
Georgia is back!!!! In this fabulous installment of the GN series Georgia must decide if she can fight off he red botomosity and resist Dave the Laugh (see book in series before this for info on Dave). Also in the book Georgia has to go to Scotland (Och Aye land) and some odd things happen there. Wonderfully funny and is the kind of book to read to cheer yourself up!!
Just As Good!.......2005-07-04
Fourteen year old Georgia is with Robbie again, but as soon as they get back together her family wants to go on a trip to Scotland, and she must go too. Towards the end is a bit of a suprise, a conflict with Robbie is staying with him right or not?

Desperate for further, further confessions of the hilarious protagonist of Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging and On the Bright Side, I'm Now the Girlfriend of a Sex God? You're in luck! Just in the nick of time, Georgia Nicolson is back, regaling her reading audience with the trials and tribulations of life as a British teen. Sure, Georgia is thrilled to still be the girlfriend of the Sex God. And yet, Dave the Laugh (her "red herring" ex-beau) isn't looking so bad himself these days. Meanwhile, as our heroine is updating her 1-to-10 snogging scale (6-1/4 is lip nibbling, otherwise known in Georgia-speak as "nip libbling"), her huge misbehaving cat, Angus, is on the verge of a trip to the vet to have his "chimney swept" in an effort to tone down his passion for the neighboring sex kitten, Naomi.
Louise Rennison's outrageously funny series, written in minute-by-minute diary form, perfectly captures the agonizing je ne sais quoi of adolescence in all its schizophrenic glory and comes complete with glossary for Georgia's oh-so-dim American chums. (Ages 12 and older) --Emilie Coulter
Book Description
As I was going out of my bedroom door I remembered my nungas. Perhaps I should take some precautions to keep them under strict control. Maybe bits of Sellotape on the ends of them to keep them from doing anything alarming? I'd like to trust them, but they are very unreliable.
The irrepressible heroine of the Michael L. Printz Honor Book Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging is back, and funnier than ever! Georgia has finally landed Robbie the Sex God, but he's never around, and Georgia's ex, Dave the Laugh, is starting to look quite dreamy. Strangely, so does just about every other guy Georgia meets, even the new French teacher.
In this third installment of Georgia's hilarious confessions, Georgia's "red bottomosity" is out of control! Whatever will happen next?
Customer Reviews:
SOOOOOO FUNNY!! .......2005-11-28
This book is so funny! It is absolutly as good as the first two, and not at all boring. Georgia may be self obsorbed and snotty and so on, but that is only part of her charm! If you are tired of depressing serious books that are very deep and meaningful read this. You will never get tired of it! Even after i've read it a zillian times it is still so funny. I laughed through basically the whole book. If you read it and think it is not as good as the other ones, fear not, the fourth is even better! It tkes so little time to read it is worth it even if you hate it. (The content is so not explicat)
Knocked Out By My Nunga Nungas is Awesome.......2005-10-05
This book was in mint condition and in other news rocked the socks off of all the other books I've read and let me tell you I am georgous but a bookworm majorly. I am going to read the whole series. Georgia is frisky, witty and funny +wild. (strangely very similar to her huge cat Angus)
Knocked out by her Humor!.......2004-06-07
I found this book hilarious! It was very well written and very understandable! I have read other reviews from her other books in the series from adults and they dont like it which is why i think that these books are mostly for teenagers. Adults tend to find Georgia rude and disgusting. They dont understand that the books are supposed to be fun and the rudeness is the funny part!
Awesome book!.......2004-05-29
I am a teen like georgia and i just love these books! they are so easy to relate to and are hilarious!!! georgia, along with her many, many thoughts, is crazy, straight-forward, and soo funny. I would recomend this to any other teen girl because i am almost positive they would love it too!
The Gradual Fall Continues ..........2004-05-19
Sadly 'Knocked Out By My Nunga-Nungas' was not only not as good as the first book in the series but not even the second.
Georgias time in Ouch Eye Land was borderline boring - where is that laugh a minuet humor? The story line with the parents is not nearly as interesting as in the past, same with Angus and Libby. Then we get to Jas - she has become highly annoying and stuck up, Im waiting for her and Tom to break up to bring her back to reality. "You have to let Jas rave on or you never get to talk about yourself" how many times have we heared Georgia say that?! And how many times have we un-caringly heared Jas go on? Too many thats for sure.
I did like the Dave The Laugh story line in this one, and most events that happened beyond P.70 were funny. I hope the fourth one doesnt continue the downwards spiral, I would hate to give a Louise Rennison book a 3/5.

Dreamt of Robbie feeding me chocolate sandwhiches which was really cool. But then he started nibbling my ears in a sort of peckish way, and he nibbled them both off.
I don't know what this means. Probably it means I am feverish with love.

Georgia Keeps Me Laughing.......2004-07-27
I can count on one hand the number of books that repeatedly make me laugh out loud. Three of those books are about Georgia Nicholson. This is the third instalment in her diaries.
Georgia is just an ordinary teen (or so she says) who just happens to exist in a totally crazy world. Some of the things she has to put up with are, a four-year-old sister, the king of all cats, amorous parents, idiot friends, a sex-god boyfriend, a red-herring boyfriend, ear snogging, and breasts that are too large.
At the start of the story Georgia is whisked off to Och Aye Land (Scotland) for a bit of holiday. Or it would be a holiday if it was anywhere else and had her sex-god boyfriend nearby. But returning is far from the end of her troubles as she has to rally to prevent Angus (her cat) from getting fixed and then has to deal with accidental snogging!
Some of the humor of these stories comes from the timing of the diary entries (keep an eye out for them). The rest comes from joked that have perfect delivery. Imitators have yet to come close to matching Rennison's style. If you want a good laugh, check out the whole series.

This Books A Knock Out!.......2006-05-11
Knocked Out By My Nunga Nunga's is the third book in the Georgia Nicolson series. The book is dairy of a young 14 year-old girl in England. In it she talks about all the crazy adventures and obsesses over her boyfriend Robbie aka The Sex God. She also talks about normal teenage girl stuff like how insane her parents and Libby, her little sister, are. The most important thing in her life are friends that she also talks about quite often. When the book begins Georgia is in trouble and got suspended from her all girls school. This is something common for her and her friends. Personally I loved the book. The book is hilarious and since it's in England the words can make it funnier. It's also a good book for teenage girls because I think that we can relate to some of the things she does in the book. It makes you go "Wow! I thought I was the only one who thought that." It's also one of those books that your friends won't call you a book worm if you read it because they'll probably want to read it too! This book isn't only for girls, I know some boys who have read it too! This book and other books in the series are some of my favorite books I've ever read. The author Louise Rennison really knows how to connect with the reader.
While Not as Good as the Originals, Still Pleases All.......2003-07-26
Although this edition to the Georgia Nicolson is significantly slimmer and not quite as raw as the first two, it still manages to bring me laughing out loud. Sometimes in the book-store. I would recommend it to anyone.
this book is sooo funny.......2003-04-26
This book is hilarious! i cant stop reading it. all mu friends love this book and i love the humor of the author! it is just like every girls life! read this book!
AB FAB.......2003-03-27
I love this series, and this book is great. I hope she's planning to write another one, but you never know, the end did have a wrapping up feeling about it, and I have to know what happens!
Didn't live up to it's potential!.......2002-12-24
I loved the other geaorgia books. I still do- I'm a life- devoted fan now, they got me talking british in ny. But this book had a more pointless plot. The beggining events were v. funny and the end left me wondering. But it was missing something. He life is still funny, but as a teenage girl myself, I find I can relate far too much to her hectic boy problems that take over her life. So it gets a bit tireing..
