It didn't have too many words, had the right amount of pictures, jokes, fun facts, and more. It was fun to read and recommend it to people who like history, facts and comedy.

I loved this because I loved learning about the war and sneaky things. I learnt that the soldiers had no toilets in the trenches and ladders up to the battlefield!

It is funny at parts and the jokes and history mixed together made me smile all of the way through. If you don't like history you will like horrible history books.
