OMG I LOVE THOSE BOOKS!!! Mostly exagerrated, but still awesome!! I was reading one the other day in a shop about the king and queens of england, and they insulted Henry VII, not unjustly but i still got annoyed because I'm studying him and he was nice... yeah. sorry for the ramble... To conclude: I have and i like!! |

Well I'm 18 and I still read them! They are so funny yet informative. Henry VIII is not as bad as people make out - he was a good king but people always go on about his wives, so what is he had six? Most people nowadays have dozens! Well almost. But he wasn't the nicest man on the planet either, killing all the holy men was not a nice things to do. |

They should have stopped at 60 but due to popular demand they made another 20. I thought they were as good as the books and they covered more periods in history. |

I can't remember reading that one :/ I loved the alliteration in the titles - the rotten romans, the terrible tudors, the vile victorians... I loved the vile victorians - yay cholera(!) - but how one earth did they come up with the titles, like, to get such an appropiate word? I just thought about it, and the answer is probably a dictionary, but yeah... |

The Awesome Egtyptians didn't quite fit either but I don't think the "Envious Egyptians" would have worked.
