Book Reviews of Cruel Crimes and Painful Punishments (Horrible Histories)
Book Review: Cruel but a Fascinating and Entertaining Read
Summary: 5 Stars
This sometimes picture sometimes comic book format takes the reader into history's violent criminal past of both the criminals and the legal system. Unfair punishments for criminals and school children for petty crimes are examined and ridiculed as are societies in history such as those who burnt women alive or through them tied into the rivers to prove they were or weren't witches. The format of this book makes it very reader friendly for children and adults alike. It is simple enough that those with reading difficulties won't be put off but contains a substantial amount of information to satisfy those who can read at adult level or are adults themselves.
