This book is a fiction book and my favourite Queen is Juana of Castile because when she was young she was moody and shy. When she grew up she fell madly in love with Philip of Flanders that's how she went mad. I highly recommend this book.

It’s quite a good book but I felt a bit bored with it.It’s quite gross too.My favourite ruler in history is… Queen Victoria not because she is my friend’s name it’s because she was born in Kensington Palace and I like Kensington. It interested me because I liked the pictures.I would recommend this book if the person is pretty horrible if they are nicer then I won’t recommend this book to them.

This has all sorts of horrible facts about the way horrible leaders have behaved- and this time the history ranges from BC right up until the 1990s. This book is both interesting, and informative, and funny with some really bad puns. I have enjoyed reading it as part of my Reading Challenge.

This book was a very interesting read. It is all about the rulers of different countries - them and their lives. It tells your all the stuff that makes you go eww and puke the total opposite to most history books. As well as being highly informative it is very funny. I would recommend this to anyone who has a yearning for horrible history.
