5 out of 5 stars Another excellent Horrible History   March 8, 2004
 4 out of 6 found this review helpful

This book is just one of the many Horrible Histories I have invested in over the years and it is just as informative, funny and useful as the others.
It includes all the information other books do not have, and is the reason why I am so interested in history. This book includes hilarious cartoons by Martin Brown, instructions on how to build a boat, well-told stories rewritten by Terry Deary. Buy this and all the others!



5 out of 5 stars I love it   August 22, 2001
 6 out of 9 found this review helpful

I love this book because it gives the most gory details about how the Vikings lived. It tells us the most boring facts in a gory and interesting way. I have read it twice and I think it is brilliant.


5 out of 5 stars A really great book   March 1, 2001
 3 out of 5 found this review helpful

The vicious vikings is a book that tells you about what vikings did on their raids. It has a timeline just on vikings. This is a great book although it doesn't really appeal to younger children because it is a bit grisly. Once you start reading you'll have trouble putting the book down.
