Away Laughing on a Fast Camel, Louise Rennison
BOOK - SERIES
Series: The Confessions of Georgia Nicolson, #5
Why I Read It: I'd read the first four, and they were laugh-out-loud-at-innapropriate-times funny. Seriously, I was cackling like an idiot while reading at the dinner table tonight and my mom kept having to ask me if I was okay, or if I was having some sort of hysterical seizure or something.
Rating: 4/5
Seriously disturbing similarities between myself/my friends/my relationships with them and certain characters/their relationships aside, this is a lighthearted teen-lit book that will certantly occupy you for the day, week, or however long it takes you to get through it. It was a bit of a literature genre shock reading this right after I'd finished 1984, but I quickly got lost in the story again. Georgia Nicolson has been going out with the Sex God(I want one of those!) for a while, but then he has to go to Kiwi-a-gogo land(that's New Zealand, for the unenlightened among us). What will she have to do now that he's gone? Why, call her friend Jasmine up every five minutes and annoy the crap out of her, which is what the entire first section is devoted to.
Then, an Italian-American boy, Masimo, comes to replace the Sex God(He used to have a real name, but it got lost somewhere around book 3) as lead singer of the local band the Stiff Dylans. All through this, she has to deal with her best friend Jas(god only knows how they got to be such good friends, they can't get along for two chapters), Dave the Laugh(you're better off not knowing, trust me), Rosie and many others.
Now, I'm going to do something I haven't done in forever, and share a quote with you. Just because.
Don't you feel special?
Oh, more spiffy vocabulary: Nungas are boobs. Don't ask.
Quote: [Dave said,] "I still say he's flash, but anyway, what in the name of arse made you walk off on Saturday? He thought you were very up yourself."
I said, "My boy entrancers got stuck together and then one fell off."
Dave said, "Your boy entrancers stuck together and then one fell off." And he was looking at my nungas to see if I still had two.
I said, "No, no, I mean my false eyelashes. First of all, I looked down and they got glued together and I was blind. So I sort of shuffled off to the music to try and unglue them, and then one fell off[...]."
