DEADLY DAYS IN HISTORY is the most horrible HORRIBLE HISTORIES book yet. Terry Deary and Martin Brown take a whirlwind tour through the most dreadful, disastrous and deadly days in the whole of horrible history, from the grim Great Fire of Rome to the vile St Valentine’s Day Massacre, leaving the gory bits in (and the boring bits out).

Lots of the trademark Horrible Histories corny jokes. Very informative but in a fun way. Very good. :)

Horrible Histories are always full of extra facts, you normally wouldn't know even if you love history and you are really good at it. These books are written and illustrated in such a way that even kids that hate history will enjoy them.

This book is exiting and interesting. You should read this book because it has gruesome facts and funny illustrations.There is a page about the Titanic and about a girl who had so many jewels on her dress, bullets bounced off it!You should definitely read it.

It gives you lots of interesting facts about history. It even goes back to 5000BC.
