About this audiobook
Picture the scene: Dother Hall Performing Arts College ,somewhere Up North, surrounded by rolling dales, bearded cheesemaking villagers (male and female) and wildlife of the squirrely-type.
On the whole, it’s not quite the showbiz experience Tallulah was expecting… but once her mates turn -p and they start their ‘FAME! I’m gonna liiiiive foreeeeeever, I’m gonna fill my tiiiiights’ summer course things are bound to perk up. Especially when the boys arrive. (When DO the boys arrive?)
Six weeks of parent-free freedom. BOY freedom. Freedom of expression… cos it’s the THEATRE dahling, theatre!
The hilarious misadventures of Tallulah Casey…

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5By the same author of Angus, Thongs, and Perfect Snogging comes a new series about Tallulah, Georgia's cousin. In this book Tallulah goes to a theater camp over the summer and becomes engaged in typical teen drama. The main character is awkward and slightly insecure but very relatable to. In my opinion the Confessions of Georgia Nicolson series was better than this series, but it was still a pretty good book. The beginning is quite slow but it gets better towards the end. I would recommend this book for any one 12-16. I know there are three books to this series as of now and I'm wondering how they compare to they compare to the first book. From this website each book after had a higher rating so I am thinking the series gets better.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5When I finished Are These My Bassoomas I See Before Me? by Louise Rennison, I was feeling a pang of sadness at the ending of a fun series. It was time, though, for the series to end. Georgia had matured and her story had made its natural course.Louise Rennison has a new series, the first of which is Withering Tights. Tallulah Casey is traveling somewhere "up north" to Dother Hall for theater school. She's excited and scared but she's going with sage advice from her cousin (Georgia).Tallulah is a couple years younger than Georgia but not as young as she was in Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging. She's somewhere in the middle, meaning she's full on boy crazy and a full on spazz. Now if these two girls were unrelated, I'd probably be wishing for a completely different voice for Tallulah. As they're cousins, their similarities is understandable and funny.I found it a quick and funny read. Tallulah trying to fit in with the theater crowd and make her mark was endearing and believable.The sequel is A Midsummer's Tights Dream — and I will be posting a review of it soon.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The first in a new series by the author of Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging features Georgia's extremely tall 14-year-old cousin, Tallulah. Tallulah has signed up for a summer program at an arts school in Yorkshire, and finds new friends, new places, an interest in boys and an unintended talent for comedy.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Talullah Casey, budding actress and cousin of Georgia Nicolson, spends the summer at Dother Hall, a performing arts school that she wishes to attend full-time. The only problem? She's not exactly skilled at acting...or singing or dancing. What she lacks in talent, however, she makes up for with (unintentional) comedic timing. This was a fun, frivolous book to read and Talullah is a lovable, energetic narrator.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Silly, relatable, and hilarious. Quirky lovable characters. A very accurate depiction of girls at that age and the sort of everyday dramas (which aren't actually that dramatic) of their lives. Reminded me of girls camp and 9th grade.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It was a very cute book and Tallulah was a really funny character. I can't wait to read about more of her adventures in the next book. Hopefully it isn't too long of a wait! :)
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The second book in this series is better, but this one is still pretty good. Reminded me a little of one of the books in the Traveling Pants series, though mostly because there was theater involved.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5It wasn't really my thing, but I think young girls in the 11 - 14 age range will adore it. The humour is nice and quirky but I think its just a little too young for this jaded 41 yr old -- give it a try if you like quirky english writing. The heroine is delightful and I think we can all see a little of the dorky awkward girl that she is in all of us.
