Reviews
It is the best book. I like history and the human body. This book has both, its amazing.

This was really interesting because it was about the past and history of the human body which you don’t learn in school.

I like it because it’s about cures from the olden days. When people had headaches they would drill holes in their head which they would never do now. I love history and facts.

I loved this book so much, Dr Chris and Dr Xand are SO incredibly funny! It is full of amazing body facts, not just from modern times, but dating all the way back past Romans and Egyptians! It mentions cures, diseases and all the weird and wonderful medicines people had come up with crazy ideas for, with a little bit of humour added in there too. I would recommend this book to all ages as the words are not complicated but it is factual and funny. Totally giving it a 5!
