informative medium-paced

3.0

I found this book to be like a more detailed version of a Horrible Histories book that would include facts about everything to do with British history. People who like Horrible Histories would like a book like this if they want a brief on the years that made British history.

What I Liked About The Book

It was a kind of quick read that included enough information and detail for me to understand each bit of history. The added illustrations were pleasant to look at, too, while reading.

What I Didn't Like About The Book

The book could have included, explained and discussed more history in the periods. Mainly I felt that the bit about modern Britain was a bit rushed. It skipped over modern British history, and it would have been nice to read more information surrounding those bits in history.

In Conclusion

Overall this book is not too bad for learning facts about periods in British history. A great alternative for Horrible Histories books although not as good. I'm probably a little biased about that.
