Roffman has captured the 'essense' perfectly, 18 May 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Johan Paulik (Hardcover)
If you're after gratuitous pictures of Johan, go download them with everyone else off the internet. You won't find them here. Oh, you'll find nudity, but only where it seems natural. Roffman has perfectly capture the essense of Johan, I have never seen so much character and personality emerge from a page before. Johan relaxes before the camera, and you are rewarded with intimate glimpses into his personality. This is Johan at his cheekiest. As you flick through the pages and pause at images of him relaxing with Roffman's two dogs, you feel like just another friend there with him, as you laugh over breakfast or come to wake him in the morning. This is Johan the man, Johan the boy, Johan the friend and Johan the lover, all in the pages of one book. If you ever saw him in a Bel Ami production and wished you could get to know him, then get this book, because it's as close as you'll get.

5.0 out of 5 stars
An outstanding collection, beautifully photographed., 28 Oct 2001
This review is from: Johan Paulik (Hardcover)
Many people have seen Johan Paulik in the Bel Ami sex-action films and have lusted after this beautiful and almost unreal youth. Now, Hoffman has managed to capture all of Johan's appeal in this masterful collection of B&W images. From the outdoor shots to the casual indoor poses, these pictures ooze charm, sex-appeal, and wit. Johan is at his most relaxed and that shows in the highly erotic photos we are shown. The comments by Paulik (in the foreword) that he feels that he is not as attractive at 25 as he was at 18 frankly cause me wonder. Has he looked Roffman's pictures? Can he be so unconfident about his body? Surely, he is more rounded now than he was at 18. Who isn't? That being said, his 'rounded' form makes him all the more attainable, as he looks even more like the boy-next-door, even if he is much more beautiful. I for one find him much more erotic and sexy than when he was 18! I showed this book to a woman friend of minewho is married; she looked through the images, paused for breath and then said, "What an outstandingly beautiful man! I wish ******** (her husband) looked even half as good." That says it all. A great book. It deserves a place on the coffee-table or bookshelf of any gay man (who appreciates true beauty rather than an endless parade of over-developed muscles), or come to that anyone who appreciates wonderful photography of the naked male form.

Deeply sexy collection., 8 April 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Johan Paulik (Hardcover)
Johan fulfils your moody fantasies and Roffman does an excellent job of capturing the immediate and arousing image. This is an excellent coffee table book for the unashamedly sexual gay man...
