A very funny approach to the universe and evolution of the Earth! If you're even remotely interested in history, you're like to get sucked in and have a chuckle.

My father got me this book when I was fourteen and starting to show what would become a great love of history. I read it while I was ill and in bed, and I just gave it another read. Gonick provides a fun read, with a wee bit of a focus on Bible stories in some parts.

I'd recommend it for mature tweens and young teens. There's a little bit of a focus on sex and violence, but also given the size of the book, it may require a little bit more focus than the general comic series. However, there's no reason shared reading couldn't be utilised, especially for more mature children.

And for those adults out there- give it a go. You may just learn something!
