`...a horrible history of `prehistoric' people - people who existed in those happy times before `history' was invented......' - By: AMAZON REVIEWER, 23 Jul 2004 
`History can be horrible.
And the further back in time you go, the more horrible it becomes in some ways!
Of course not everyone believes this!
Some people would quite like the idea of time travel.
They'd like to go back in time & live in another age.
An age without homework, global warming & mad cow disease......
What you need is a book that will tell you the truth about the savagery of the `Stone Age`.
What you need is a horrible history of `prehistoric' people - people who existed in those happy times before `history' was invented......'

i've read nearly every horrible history book & by far this is the worst. i found it completely boring & not even very informative. terry deary doesn't seem to put any of the past magic into this book & it left me with a very sour taste in my mouth
Extremely Funny - By: , 07 Jun 2000 An extremely funny book covering what seemed like most of the history of the Stone Age.Very good for young children & I recomend this book to anyone between the age of 5 & 15 who is interested in the Stone Age.
BRILLIANT - By: , 14 Feb 2000 
This & alll of the series are my favorite books. This one in particular was reallly good. I liked the story at the end about the neanderthal man, it made me think about how cruel we are to others. It is a must have book. From Kieran
Absolutely superb - By: , 08 Oct 1999 It tells you about history in a funny way.It is very good in the way it tells you about things the teachers don't tell you. At first it will give you the creeps but when you get used to it, it is very entertaining & i was reading it for days upon end.The introduction gets you right into the book & what it's about.The epilogue at the end leads you into reading the next book in the series.
