My son was enraptured with the Horrible History videos on YouTube. Because I am old fashioned, I thought a book would be good too. This one was ok. Interesting in parts, repetitive in parts. Decently written. But not inspired.

I had ordered The Horrible Histories Box Set, HH USA, and HH France. Even though it was shipping all the way from the UK, the France book was the first to get here, and the shipping time was so fast! That was the first good thing to happen. There was one problem tough, in that I had ordered a new book (since I'm a perfectionist), and this book looked pretty used in the spine and covers, but nonetheless it was great. The book was simply amazing, I LOVED it! The only chapter that was a bit redundant was Chapter 6, Revolting France. It talked about the different revolutions, but they all began and ended the same way. The rest of the book was phenomenal, especially the last four chapters. Their summary of the French Revolution was amazingly well-done. Seriously, I cannot describe how fantastic it came out! I would highly recommend this book and can't wait for the Box Set and USA to arrive!!!

EXCELLENT! Keep this a one of the foundations of the entire Horrible Histories series!
