Written by Wylie Overstreet, The History Of The World According To Facebook shows modern day humour with historical events, which children and adults alike will enjoy.
This is a rather unique book because it combines world history with real historical figures and events and usual Facebook activities. The book features hilarious comments, jargons and actions such as status updates, likes and adding friends.
The most humorous part of The History Of The World According To Facebook is the puns and satire, as well as seeing characters such as Abraham Lincoln or the Big Bang using Internet language such as lol or rofl. At one point, the Big Bang posts, “What a great party!”.
One disappointing fact is that this book trivialises important historical events and turns them into a parody.
