Book Review

I recommend this book for people who like The Traitors and Horrible Histories

The front cover of this book immediately grabbed my attention because I love watching Horrible Histories and The Traitors tv show. And I certainly wasn’t disappointed!
I have learnt so much about different Traitors , and one of my many favourites is Kim Philby. He worked for Britain in the Second World war and got told many important secrets. But he blabbed about it to all his Russian friends. For 30 years nobody knew he was a Traitor!
When this book finished I was really annoyed because it was so good and I didn’t want it to end. I thought that most of these stories would have the same concept over and over again but they didn’t. Some Traitors never got caught  before they were dead! This book made me want to find out more about the Traitors and if there side of the story is any different.
After finishing this book , I kept thinking about the choices the Traitors made and how it can really change the ending. I recommend this book for people who like The Traitors and Horrible Histories.
Also, if you think your own punishments are bad then they used to be really deadly!
