Review (PDF) Horrible Histories: The Incredible Incas
The incredible Incas may have built South America's greatest civilisation, but they could be very icky indeed! The poor prisoners they pulled up their huge pyramids were likely to experience a very painful death. But things weren't much better for your average Inca. Find out... * How a bucket of stewed pee could make you beautiful * Why servants ate the emperor's hair * What happened in their legendary golden temples * What chilling fate awaited their child sacrifices The Incan Empire ruled 12 million people, but was conquered by 260 Spanish invaders - and a few germs. In fact, it was the llamas who _really_ had it lucky... they got to wear earrings and drink beer! So would you rather be a lucky llama... or an incredible Inca? Erk!

Fantastically entertaining approach to engaging anyone in history of the Ancient Incan Empire. The "horrible" aspects are certainly the grabbers, but this is a well-rounded book, touching on most social, religious, and political features of the Incan society. Both my 11 year old daughter and myself tore through the book in one sitting.
A good book from Terry Deary! It tells you how those early natives lived, describes their civilisation in a very clear way. As a Russian, I also would like to read about my country too, so I wait if there will be some from Terry Deary, because, we are like incas, also have very interesting and horrible history!
This book gives an insight into the history surrounding the legendary Incas in a fun way, especially for children. In Terry's usual fashion, at times their is the hilarity of gross, smelly or dirty wound into the upheavals relating to the Incas and the Spanish conquistadores.My daughter of 10 loved it, as did I
A very amusing read and very informative. I regret not buying this great book in paperback. Ha ha ha ha
good but not as great as others
