5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great book!, Jan 7 2004
By C. C. LIN (Taipei Taiwan) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Awesome Egyptians (Paperback)
I love the whole series of this "horrible histories" books. Ever since I got the first one, I can't wait to find more!! This is a great book! The book is full of pitures, like comic books. It makes the reader easy to understand and hard to forget!! Highly recommended for any one who's interested in history!

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaingly Educating, Dec 8 2003
This review is from: The Awesome Egyptians (Paperback)
I was introduced to these books in my late teens. While they are intended for a younger crowd, those who might not be so keen on idea of schooling and learning about "boring 'ole history" ... this defiantly lightens up anyones attitude on the subject. It's humorous, factual, and provides critical thinking/understanding to a culture form long ago. The cartoon companions are highly entertaining! As well as the, this-is-how-it-was-there-is-no-point-lying-to-you attitude of the writing. Of course, once you've become addicted to one, the others will somehow find they way onto your bookshelf...

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely NOT horrible!, Feb 26 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Awesome Egyptians (Library Binding)
This is an awsome, truly wonderful book for any parent trying to motivate their children to read and enjoy history. terry Deary manages to present historically accurate information in a way that makes reading and learning extremely enjoyable. His use of kooky, strange or disgusting (but true) facts captivate children's minds and imagination, leading them into reading and absorbing other more important facts, as well as broadening their minds and teaching them about different ancient cultures! This book is one of a series that every parent should buy their child.

3.0 out of 5 stars It Needed More Thought
I read Deary's Books and I think it was one of the worst of his books. He pretty much didn't put as much thought into this one as the others. Mr. Read more
