Summary: Big Book of Bad is inexplicably GOOD
Review: 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.

Summary: It's not as "BAD" as it looks
Review: 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.

Summary: Some of it was interesting and some of it was'nt.
Review: This book was in no way as good as "The Big Book Of Conspiracies" or "The Big Book Of The Unexplained." The book was not a complete waste of time, but your better off going with the two books mentioned above for a better read.

Summary: Excruciatingly good.
Review: Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? This book, published by the independent Factoid Books, goes through the ages of man, from Caligula to Sawney Bean. It also includes fictional works which have been incorporated into pop culture(such as Bram Stoker's Dracula). It even has a section in the end entitled "Bad Sports", which includes the steroid abuse of WWF manager Vince McMahon and Mike Tyson's fateful Evander Buffet in Las Vegas.
