Editorial Review:
Amazon.com Review:
If all American literature comes from Huckleberry Finn, all American surf culture comes from Gidget, the ostensible diary of Kathy Kohner, a teensy, gutsy teenage girl who crashed the all-male scene at Malibu Beach north of L.A. in 1957 and earned, from Moondoggie and others, the nickname Gidget, which meant "Girl Midget." Her father, the German immigrant screenwriter Frederick Kohner, fascinated by the beach-shack counterculture, interviewed his perky daughter at length, eavesdropped with permission on her phone calls, fictionalized her adventures, and batted out this influential bestseller. He nailed a tiny subculture's new form of speech ("If you want to know what goes on in Loveville ... Dig Number One: being gone on a boy is more important than having a boy gone on you.") and made it a pop-culture staple. Newly reissued with the real Gidget's picture on the cover (as on the original hardback), the book is very slim (appropriately enough) and historically beguiling. You'll like her--you'll really like her! --Tim Appelo

I liked the TV show and was interested to read the original book. The book was very much as I expected and I enjoyed it. I also liked what was added by the real "Gidget".

Frederick Kohner, a naturalized American has written one of the great American novels--no kidding--this puts Kohner in a class with James Fenimore Cooper and Herman Melville. It is the seminal story of how little Franzie Hofer (based on his daughter Kathy, the first member of his family born in the U.S.) stood up to the big boys and earned their respect--and in one case, his love. Gidget meets the gang, nearly drowns, learns to surf and learns to love. But this novel is not about plot; it's about ... Read More

I never get tired of Gidget stories! This was a great book and I would recommend it highly. In fact, I plan to recommend it to my students this year. It's takes me back to high school and just wanting to be accepted. Even though I grew up in Denver, Colorado, which is far away from the ocean, I could relate to Gidget because of her size. I wish I could find some more Gidget stories to read.

I chuckled as I read Steffan's review. So Gidget was named after a porn star, huh? Possible, possible...was this porn star working before 1957, the year that Gidget was first published?
Gidget is a great book (see my niece Tracey Satterthwaite's review); the sequels are entertaining, but that's about it.
