  1. I want to read these now, see if the stories are as bad as the covers. What could possibly happen in The Vampire's Vacation? And I don't think that Wonder Woman one could have possibly passed copyright laws.. she looks like animae crossed with the animation in Disney's Hercules.

  2. I haven't read any of the books in this post, but I've read a few similar books. Most of them seem like they took less time to write then to read:). I remember one had a major grammatical error in the opening sentence.

    Thanks for your comment:).

  4. Horrible indeed. It turns out that a chapter of the fourth edition of "Team Building" is online. Robert Maddux has passed away, and the new edition was written by Barb Wingfield.
