Explanation As Books The Groovy Greeks (Horrible Histories #7)
I'm a 17 year old classics student and not ashamed to say that I bought this at groovy Greeks live (where I also met Terry Deary). As a child I remember starting this book and not really liking it because of all the complicated Greek names, I couldn't really understand a lot of it but this time around I enjoyed looking at the ancient Greeks from a child's perspective and seeing how actually ridiculous they often were. Wasn't really a fan of all the quizzes and games but it's a kids book, I'm not really the target audience. Would recommend for older children (11-13) as some of the language is a little complicated, but I'm no expert.Rating Epithetical Books The Groovy Greeks (Horrible Histories #7)

When I was a child, I read this book dozens and dozens of times. I recall studying the Ancient Greeks in Year 3 (7-8 years old) and using this book to beat the teacher at knowledge of the Greeks. It came in handy when watching Disney's Hercules and its subsequent tv series. It was the only Horrible Histories book I read or owned. It went missing along with most of my childhood books and is probably in a bag in the loft. I did find a copy though which was just as well-used as my own copy. ReadingSo I've read this as one of my books ever and, 20 years later, is still as enjoyable as ever. It contains in a very abridged form all the important legends of the ancient Greek along with some very catchy pieces of trivia. All in all, the Romans have definitely destroyed a great civilization...
The groovy Greeks are so much more interesting than I first thought!!! Well... when you leave the gore in, at least. They had very clever tactics about war. They were very smart to build that humongous wooden horse. But the Trojans were quite silly to fall for it. But did you know they actually fell for it twice??!! Yep, so this book taught me lots including that and that is why I recommend this book for everyone!
I you hate this "history" stuff read this! I'm currently reading " Who are you calling a wooly mammoth?" FUNNY. Lead by Mel Roach (a cockroach) making it even funnier! A great series!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (boy did I use a lot of exclamations!) (there I go again)
Very entertaining like the others in the series and there was quite a bit that I didnt know before. I love how these books use things like cartoon strips, imagined diary entries and newspaper reports to get the info across. Great fun.
Mixing histories with jokes purrrfectly ଲ(ⓛ ω ⓛ)ଲYou can still see the line between, of course (^..^)
I read all of the horrible histories book when I was younger and I even collected the magazines. I picked this up because I felt a bit nostalgic and I'm glad I did because it still had the ability to force a smile out of me, just like it did all those years ago. I would recommend these books to children and even adults, while it is written to engage and be understood by children and presented through various means such as quizzes, sketch story boards etc, it will probably make you smile at least
