This is a fact book. This book was gruesome at times but funny too. It was really interesting. I didn’t have a favourite part, I enjoyed reading the whole book. I would recommend this book to children age 8 and above.

Very first book I have read from the collection of horrible history and in my opinion I’d say it was really good book because it had bits of gory which isn’t in lots of non fiction books

The day before Elizabeth Pearson was arrested a man called John Tully was arrested just 35 miles away in Hartlepool. He was charged to kill his wife, Bridget. Yes, I would recommend it to someone.

I enjoyed the book because it was very factual and interesting to read it also had very good illustration's . I recommend this book for people who like fiction but sometimes want to read some non fiction.

I had previously read another version of this but enjoyed this version more- I liked the Top 10 of Villainous Victorians list and seeing what people got away with back then!

I absolutely love this book because there are so many facts about the Victorians that I did not even know about! Also, Terry Deary is an amazing, fabulous and extraordinary author because he uses so much factual vocabulary. I rate this book 5 stars !!!!

everything was really surprising i didn't expect Queen Victoria to be the most villainous person in the whole of her reign.

I love history and this book is very funny and interesting.Somehow every Terry Deary book i read he's made history fun with lots of cartoon things.If you love history this is a good one to read.
