Don't you think history is horrible? In history class the teacher teaches boring history, right? Well, you can learn fun and interesting history in the series “Horrible Histories!”

In every book of “Horrible Histories”, it talks about some horrible, unbelievable, or hilarious histories according to the topic. For example Horrible Histories: 20th Century, then this book will be talking about horrible things that happened in the 20th century. You can collect over 50 Horrible histories books!

The Horrible Histories series books are classified as a few groups:

  1. CHUNKY RATTUS EDITIONS
  2. CLASSIC EDITIONS
  3. TOP 50
  4. ANNUALS & GIFT EDITIONS
  5. THIS IS A HORRIBLE
  6. STICKER ACTIVITY BOOKS
  7. GRUESOME GUIDES TO BRITISH CITIES
  8. SPECIALS

But, if you are still too bored to read a book, you can still watch the Horrible Histories TV Show or movie!

The first Horrible Histories book I read was the 20th Century. The most impressing part is when Russia sent a dog — Lakia into space, and America sent two monkeys into space! Also that Adrian Carton de thinks war is exciting and wanted to fight for the British! Also that Hillary and Tenzing were the first people to get on top of Chomolungma(Mount Everest).

I like the Horrible Histories series a lot, I can learn the history and entertain myself at the same time! The Horrible Histories series teaches you the history in a fun way and has a great way of telling it!

I would also like to finish reading the rest of the Horrible Histories series and read the rest of the horrible lot: “Horrible Science”, “Horrible Geography”, and “Murderous Maths”!
