Review
I am not kidding about your blood running cold. The first time I read it, I felt sick. There are some gruesome details in it. There are also some very vivid pictures, but they are all drawing but it is still very…………gross. If you are a person who has an uneasy stomach, this might not be the book for you. It might just make you that little bit worse. I personally loved it because I love learning about this type of stuff, but I am sure there are a lot of people out there who are not like me. This book is not only learning like you would in history class but this is fun history (though it is not fun to the people that it happened to.) I have read every page but I find this is not the type of book that you start at the beginning and work your way through. I just read the pages that interest me at the very moment. It is not a story in a sense but it is still very good and I am still reading it with enthusiasm.
This book has many others in the series. Just a few are…..
The Savage Stone Age
The Groovy Greeks
Loathsome London
The USA
Rotton Rulers
and
France.
Some of these books will be reviewed later (once I have read them.)
Hope you enjoy the book.
Happy Reading!!!!!!
