The Georgia Nicolson Series: An Overall Review

My Thoughts

I've been really positive of the whole series in my single reviews, uncharacteristically so. Now though I've compiled my top 5 pros and my top 5 cons so you know what I like and don't like about the series. I thought it would be a nice change to just repeating myself again.

Pros
  1. Well written
  2. Funny
  3. Well edited
  4. Believable characters
  5. Quick, summery reads
Cons
  1. Major continuity issues
  2. Is repetitive in places
  3. Use of British slang (Non-British readers seem to find it confusing. I don't know why though, but then again I'm British.)
  4. Georgia can be very self centred and stupid
  5. Can get a tad bit too silly in places
Best Book

...And That's When It Fell Off In My Hand

Worst Book

Are These My Basoomas I See Before Me?

My Overall Rating

4 Stars  - A series is only as good as its worst book (so this was nearly a 3.5). The series is its own worst enemy in places with the dodgy continuity, sometimes repetitive and sudden, unexplained changes. Saying that though, this still remains one of my favourite serieses. For me the pros outweigh the cons and I thoroughly recommend the entire series.
