Personally, I love 'Horrible Histories'. I love Horrible Histories because it has a way of staying in your mind whenever you need it (except the dates).Also because I LOVE history. It is DEFINITELY nonfiction. Very informative. The pictures are comical, witty and disgusting. I would recommend it to all ages.

I liked this book enough to not give it a one but it did seem to go on about the same type of thing like slaves for a long period of time.
