One of my best friends recommended this book to me at least a year ago. I bought the ebook, and only got through the first 30 pages before I put it down. Since reading it wasn't working out, I decided to get the audiobook from the library.
I really liked this novel, the descriptions of human life was amusing. Of course, the plot was fairly predictable, but I still enjoyed the book as a whole. The advice near the end was the best part, and it was my favorite. I would definitely read it again.

I totally agree about the advice at the end being the best part.

David Mitchell, the comedian.

NOT David Mitchell, the author of "Cloud Atlas" (never read it).

I know the comedian best from his involvement in various TV panel gameshows, most noticeably BBCs "Would I Lie To You?", as well as as from the sitcom "Upstart Crow", where he plays William Shakespeare.

In all cases, his persona is of an uptight, repressed, middle aged man.

So I had a good idea what to expect of this, especially as I knew the audiobook was narrated by none other then he himself - indeed, the only reason I picked up the ebook version over the audiobook version is simply because the ebook was on sale (plus I find I can read faster than I listen).

Billed as 'Horrible Histories for Grownups' (as an aside, anyone remember the Horrible Histories with the links by Stephen Fry?), this is actually both quite entertaining and educational, with Mitchell taking it chapter about to tell the story of England's various Kings and Queens, from their earliest days and right up until the reign of Elizabeth I.

OK, the humour may be a bit, ummm, ribald (and sweary) in certain places, but if you go in knowing what to expect (as I did) ...

I received a free ebook copy in exchange for an honest review. I made no guarantee of a favorable review.

If you are looking for some good stories written by some amazingly talented authors then look no further. Each story has a different element of paranormal surprise that keeps you on the edge of your seat on this fantastic roller coaster of a ride. All the stories contained within this anthology are well written with a steady pace and strong characters. You will definitely find yourself ensnared within the magical web that all the authors have weaved.
