A review by nathanjhunt
The Villainous Victorians by Martin Brown, Terry Deary
dark
fast-paced
2.75
This was my 36th book finished in 2024.
Back with another HH book, so I wondered how many pages it would take before reaching a fatphobic joke - about 5. But there were surprisingly fewer than usual.
So I didn't realise this book would focus solely on crime and punishment. Some bits felt spread out and overdrawn. It would have been better to read something slightly more varied, as it got a bit tiresome after a while of reading the same kind of things.
It was alright. Not the worst HH I've read.
