A Must Read

This book is hilarious. There are plot twists, unexpected enemies and friends, and a lot of danger and mayhem.

Good Fun

I bought this book because my daughter and I both thoroughly enjoyed his Hero's Guide series and I wanted to preview this one for its potential inclusion in her library as well. I was not disappointed. The story is good, clean fun, and while it may seem a bit far fetched has enough historical fact to it for it to be a fun starting off point for further study (see the afterward for verication of this). I would recommend it for much the same reason I would Healy's other series. It put a smile on my face, and I can in good conscience give it to my daughter to read as well. The narrator is good, though not as good as the one who read the Hero's Guide books (he added to the stories' hilarity). Overall, really well done.

What a blast

Edutainment at its best, assuming you like humor and silliness. Also, with a feel of steampunk, Healy keeps us firmly in the land of only slightly outlandish claims for technology. I am glad that the afterword clears up some potential confusions.

Not very good

It was an interesting premise and taught some history but unfortunately the writing was not very good.
