Title: Angry Aztecs
Series: Horrible Histories
Author: Terry Deary
Read Before: yes
My Comments: The Aztecs as a race is already interesting; the Horrible Histories treatment just makes it even better. You get to read the start of the Aztecs (including some information about the Mayans and Olmecs), and you get to see how cruel they are. Yet, you also get to see how cruel the Spanish were when they conquered the Aztecs (they do all their deeds in the name of Christianity, and also plunder and steal the Aztecs’ gold). It’s hard to say who was in the right. A lot of the facts were presented in exactly the right way, which made it fun and makes you want to know more.
