I thought it was a good book because it teaches you something while making it funny.The bit that interested me the most was where you could learn how the hihgway men earned their fame.I would recommend it to someone else

I gave it four stars because it has some gruesome parts that were too gruesome, and I didn’t like them.

The funniest thing from Gorgeous Georgians was about Earl Sandwich and how he invented ..... the sandwich. A weird fact that though is that many year's before Earl Sandwich, people had been eating food in bread. since the Roman times - so mabye it should be called Sandwiches!

This is stuffed with things about hair - too much about hair and it made me laugh. I love the book.

It is a really good interesting book and teaches you about all the things they got up to in Georgian times and it really is gross some of the things the did! I love these books because you learn things about history but it is made to be really funny too!

It's very funny to think that georgian milk was thriving with live maggots.
