The book i have read is a bit different because it is just called DEADLY DISEASES, though i still want to write about it because it is worth reading.
I chose this book especially because i would like to be a doctor when i grow up. So, i wanted to know what it was all about. When i read this book i was laughing so much because of it's humour.
I also chose this book to read because i love the HORRIBLE HISTORIES series. They may sound weird but you can actually learn a lot from them. This book is very funny with lots of jokes and hilarious cartoon pictures especially the drawings of the doctors!
This book is about different diseases, how they were cured in the olden days and who actually found a medicine to cure the patient with the disease. The book also gives you some tips and tricks to fool your mum like this one:
First you will need to make a drink by following the instructions and they tell your mum
"I've made you a nice cup of tea."
Then she says:
"OOH! Thanks."
But by saying that, she doesn't know what is in that revolting stew...
This book is really a good read and i recommend it to everyone who loves bloody stories and loves humour. I also recommend it to people who want to be a doctor when they grow up and to parents.
Hope you enjoy the book!!!!!

I got this book because I like the "horrible" collections. When I eventually laid my eyes upon the first page i was freshly reminded of the quirky jokes and fascinating appeal it has to my knowledge.
Through the book there are facts and time lines written in a way to appeal mainly to 8-14 year olds with puns and various other techniques to to make you at least smirk.
The book talks about diseases such as cholera and their discoverers in fact they even do a little "interview” with the disease.
Nick Arnold seems to find a way to educate a reader with complicated things while all most doing a stand up comedy show at the same time.
This is mainly for ages 8-14 years but others could enjoy it.
