I think that’s this book could have been better because it should have had more stories from the past because we all read these books thinking that we will learn something new but instead it tells us facts not stories!I would recommend this book to my brother who loves to read about facts

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes history and doesn't mind a few gory bits every now and again then.

This was quite an interesting book, full of facts about the Georgian period, with lots of funny cartoons as well.

Really informational, great if you have a history test. I have read this book a few times, I find it really handy for school . It is not just educational,it is hilarious! Terry Deary is an amazing author. This book is not for the squeamish though as it is very disgusting but true. it interested me because as I mentioned before, it is hilarious. It is not only that though, I love history and you will be surprised at how much of the time line of Georgians that Terry Deary can fit in this factual but slim book ! I give it a five out of five !

This book is REALLY funny. It makes you squirm your guts out with laughter- also teaching you the horrible truth about Georgians. This isn’t a happy-ever -after book; it mocks teachers,parents,you and the boring old history teacher. I recommend this book to anyone.
