A wonderful book full of humour, information and knowledge, and nice illustrations. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book cover to cover and can’t put it down. We should learn from history.

I liked this book because I like learning about history. It’s non-fiction and factual, and any other Horrible Histories reader would love the book!

I thought it was very funny and had lots of great historical facts. I enjoyed how funny it was and my favourite part was when it gave facts on the Aztecs.

It is really funny. This is a fun part, ''Oh great one, we adore you... with ketchup and chips. ''

I love horrible histories, they’re really good. This one may be my favourite that I’ve read so far because it covers many different topics, ages and people.

Read pages 1 - 35 Up to era of beastky barbarians. 4 because yet to finch all chapters. Also bevausensome illustrations are not as nice as I thought they would be, meaning some show too much violence which is not to my satisfaction.

I thought it might be good to read but it's so silly. It was factual and I did not interested me too much. I would recommend it to someone silly.
