3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting...But Not That Shocking, March 21, 2006
By

This review is from: Sex (Hardcover)
Ok, I searched for this book for quite a while before I finally found an unopened copy in a local used book store. Cost me a pretty penny. Was it worth it? That all depends on your point of view.

I first saw this book when it came out and I wanted to get it, but for one reason or another I just never picked up a copy. At the time, I thought the book was racey and very interesting. There were a couple of pictures that I never forgot (the pizza picture and the hitch hiking picture). I thought that those two pictures alone were very good. At least from a photographic point of view. I found most of the rest of the book rather bland.

Years later after I got my own copy and could actually spend some time with it, I was quite impressed. It's a rather interesting book from the stand point of a pop star showing us her sexual fantasies. I had always applauded Madonna for having the guts to do this book. I know in recent years she regrets doing the book. I still admire her for what she was trying to do and say with the book. True, it shocked people and the critics just raked her over the coals for it, but I still find the book interesting if just as a novelty.

I guess I must have a rather open mind, the book didn't shock me. That was the biggest disappointment for me. I was used to being shocked by what Madonna did and said. It's an interesting book but not all that shocking. If you have to have it, then by all means get it but be prepared to pay over $100.00 for it. If you're just curious as to the contents, I'd say save your money and find someone who has the book. I'm sure that they will let you take a stroll through it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Title didn't lie, May 28, 2007

This review is from: Sex (Hardcover)
ok i have mixed feelings about this. I was wondering what's the hype about this book, and now I've read it, I still don't quite understand why people are giving too much hype over a bindful of Madonna in erotica poses? It's not even porn. I guess Madonna's point when she thought about this book flew over most of people's head. From what I see, she's telling how women are mostly associated with sex. how they are subjected. There's a topic somewhere and I doubt she was piling this just for people to yell banned for.

Oh, I applaude Madonna for having the guts this book together cause I am sure she expected what came after, the mostly bad response of the public. I guess the title really covers what's the whole book is about. I must say it's a good art form.

Overall, if you're pretty much close-minded and not quite into graphical erotica, I say you should stay away from this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Madonna in the 90's, January 22, 2005
By
cng - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sex (Hardcover)
I have to give Madonna credit for being the bold artist that she was in the 90's. Her book, Sex, with it's portfolio of nude images with the combination of design and production was beyond any book I've seen. However, I don't think of this book to be erotic but an example to Madonna's metaphorosis into the artist that she is now. It's like watching someone grow through pictures. Most 80's performers didn't last as long as Madonna's as she continued to reinvent her self through her career. The Madonna today would never produce the sex book (she's writing childrens story books now). "Sex" captures Madonna in her most dramatic reinvention.

I recommend this to any collector!
