Customer Reviews

Excellent Book!

I have read nearly all of the books in the Horrible Histories Series and I love them! The reader is drawn into the world of the Romans and is given truthful information on all of the wars and emperors in a calm, relaxed, even humorous fasion. Nobody likes learning lists of dated and rulers. The Horrible Histories books are nothing like that. They really draw you into their world and you feel as if you are going back in time to the streets of Rome under Caligula's rule and feel like a Roman. This is a great way to learn history in a relaxing environment. It's a great way to escape your troublesome world and enter the world of the Rotten Roman's! I recommend it to anyone!

Fantastic!

Terry Deary is just fascinating. Boring history turned into wonderful history after reading his books. A humourous, fun and lovable writer. There's never a boring moment when you are reading his books. My teachers, classmates, siblings and I enjoyed his books thoroughly. Believe me...........

A fun, easy way to learn about ancient Roman History.

The contents of this book are filled with interesting and juicy tidbits of information you will never find in a textbook! With hilarious pictures, The Rotten Romans reveals the wackier side of ancient Roman life. The book stays with real facts. Some were so unbelievable that I had to verify them in the encyclopedia (they were true!) It's the best book to put your history teacher on the spot. So you might think, "How could history be interesting?" Well, this book comes the closest in making it so!
