They're gory, horrible and nasty. What's not to like?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 May 2015

Verified Purchase

These are definitely brilliant. First of all non fiction is a great way to get reluctant readers into books and the grosser it is the better for that. I have found that using these or excerpts from these is a good way to get some of the pupils at older ages groups but who are below average readers interested. They are not an easy read for younger and struggling children but interest is what we are after here. These are very like the horrible history series except without the option of watching the TV instead.

Personally I bought a set for my son (6 years old) because of his ongoing fascination with science. Reading them is a little beyond him but only because the nature of the subject means the occasional convoluted latin or medical phrase has to get used so he was quite happy reading about different sorts of plants and animals but gets thrown by dropping in terms like "eukaryote". So it's probably aimed at the 8 year and upward age groups and now I use it by reading and editing on the fly and picking the right book to go with whatever we've been doing recently. So if he's shoved a splinter into his finger we'll have blood, bones and body bits, if we've been staring a bits of plant then tonight's bedtime reading is vicious veg.

In short this wins on all fronts. You can tie them in with other activities, older or better readers can read them independently and reluctant readers can be interested.

Perfect for a Horrible Histories fan

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 December 2018

These have been loved and not put down since my daughter received them for Christmas. She loves them, but be prepared to hear disgusting facts over the dinner table/ a board game, anywhere. I started reading one and couldn't put it down.
If you like Horrible Histories, you will like these!

My daughter enjoys them!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 July 2020

Verified Purchase

My daughter said that this was one of the most amazing set she’s got! The problem was because I asked for the same day delivery, the set came very late and it kept my bookworm awake until midnight.

Warning: if you have a bookworm, don’t give this set to him/her unless it’s morning and he/she gets whole day to read!

Gory but ever so ammusing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 November 2012

Verified Purchase

Into the depths of disgusting facts, gruesome revelations and gripping science you go. These books can command the undivided attention of the old and the young. One of my sons is dyslexic and the format of these books is very manageable- providing snippet caption boxes of information that can need not read in chronological order. Another of my sons is an avid reader and views these as real page turners, scouring the pages for the most delictably dispicable nuggets of science to disgust and amaze his class mates and siblings alike. The box is colourful and saves on storage. I would have paid RRP for such quality and quantity, nonetheless delighted to have purchased at such a bargain price.

Bought these for my 9 year olds birthday. She absolutely loved them! Twenty books in total on a range of suitably gory topics! Be prepared to hear lots of interesting facts!
