OK, although a bit cliche'd
Once again, there's a wide spectrum of quality in this book due to the number of writers and artists involved. It goes all the way from gems like the item on Velikovsky to real disappointing repeats of the media version of McCarthy's saga. McCarthy has long since been vindicated by released communist documents since the fall of the Wall, but either out of intellectual laziness or a fear of going against "the known facts" this book continues to make him out to be wrong.

There is a lot of good material here that somewhat offsets the bad.

Excellent Entertainment!
Another excellent edition of the DC Comics' Factoid Press "Big Book" series. This one focuses on the bad guys/girls in history, including some real rotters! Excellent entertainment for the whole family!

pulls no punches
definitely a great addition to your collection. I can't wait until each new installment is published. Makes you want to look up more information on some of the topics explored within.

It's not as "BAD" as it looks
The BIG BOOK OF BAD- the 13th book in the series presents an interesting read- until you reach the "Bad Lite" Chapter- after that- it's all downhill. The Editors wasted space in dedicating pages to the likes of "Vanilla Ice" and his Ilk- when they could have put in more of the real BAAAD guys- such as Idi Amin, Ferdinand Marcos, Adolf Hitler, Peter Kurten, Jack the Ripper, Ted Bundy, Erap Estrada and the like.

Big Book of Bad is inexplicably GOOD
From Lady Macbeth to the admittedly lewd practices of the Roman emporers, this book has it all.Where else could one find the full account of Mr. Sawney Beane, the father of an inbred Scottish family who dwelt in coastal cliffs, frequently preying on travelers and eating them?Or the atrocities committed during the Bataan death march?Beautifully - or gruesomely,depending on who you are - illustrated, this book, another masterpiece by Factoid, satisfies that dark sweet tooth in all of us.A must-have for horror hounds and psychofilm buffs. ...
