Book Reviews of Crazy Babe
Book Review: Respectfully disagree with the other reviewers
Summary: 2 Stars
I'm not one to find joy in giving books negative reviews, so I'll say right up front that "Crazy Babe" is not necessarily a "bad" book. Though I see that many readers found this book to be fantastic, the 2-star rating reflects my tastes as well as my caution to those who may be taken aback by explicit nude photographs.
As an admirer of fine photography of the human form, I'm spoiled by artists such as Newton, Schatz, Demarchelier and Bensimon, to name a few, who take such beautiful photos of the female figure that almost anyone would marvel over them. In "Crazy Babe," photographer Bob Coulter has put together a collection of images that, while having some artistic merit, have left the realm of creativity/originality and are knocking at the door of pornography (not all, but most of them).
Fifteen different models are portrayed in approximately 350 photos (all digital, I believe). Each image is the size of a large postcard, one per page. The photographic quality is excellent: sharp exposure, good lighting and vibrant color. The book is also put together well in terms of paper quality and binding. Some images were decently constructed; however, far too many were taken either from an odd angle or too close up, which resulted in a distorted perspective. As for the majority of photos, which were autoerotic or just plain in-your-face, one could take it or leave it.
For me, the overall vibe from "Crazy Babe" was not positive. Though these "babes" may be both crazy and nude, I didn't consider many of their pictures attractive or alluring. Much more beautiful (and artistic) photos of nude women can easily be found elsewhere
Book Review: THE TITLE PULLED ME IN; BUT IT WAS THE PICTURES THAT MADE ME WANT TO STAY!
Summary: 5 Stars
How can you resist a title like this? CRAZY BABE, I love the fact that the photographer points out that these girls aren't actually "crazy," they are sane girls that feign craziness. (Aren't they all?) Yes, but the girls I know can scare you blue, if they feel the need. Its all in the role, man... these girls know how to bend, and this guy BOB COULTER knows how to catch them when they bend. These are some awesome pictures; very well done ladies;very well done Mr. Colter.Book Review: Very Interesting
Summary: 4 Stars
The photos are beautiful and the models are sexy. There are a number of photos that are more pornograpic than artistic but there are some very erotic artistic jorneys as well.Book Review: Very good book
Summary: 5 Stars
Lots of pages, great quality. There isn't any one particular showcasing in this book that you can point your finger to and say ''Oh yeah, heres the theme.'' This book is more of a compendium of sorts. All sorts of models, all sorts of poses, all sorts of themes. Very good mix. And I'm serious - LOTS of pages. Well worth the cash. Some of the stuff is stylish, and some of it is just plain smutty. It's all done with taste, though. Go ahead and get this one.Book Review: Well it is a book
Summary: 4 Stars
While I dont like to give bad reviews. It is bearly worth the price or the effort to to filp the pages.
