This book is laugh out loud funny, I read it after watching the show and I'm glad I did it that way round as though I enjoyed the show the book is so much better, its much less involved with the other characters and just focuses on Daph and Simonwho are the best comedic duo ever. Give this book a try, even if historical fiction isn't your thing, its not a long read and all the quotes I read aloud recieved laughs from those who were listening .
