Terry Deary has done it again. I'm not a fan of the illustrations, but the text that goes with them is interesting and humourous. However if you're not interested in politics, give this a miss.

Buy this if you want to learn about Politics in a fun way!
8 Oct 2004
Format:Paperback
This is a really great book if you want to learn about Politics in a fun way! The chapters are written in a very funny way. It has funny lines, funny cartoons, and funny and stupid facts!
I wanted to learn more about Politics and when I saw this I just had to get it! You learn a lot even though this is a fairly short book. The only slight disadvantage is that it does not have a index, which means if you are trying to find out about a specific thing it is quite difficult.
This is great if you like jokes, and learning at the same time!
