5.0 out of 5 stars an awesome book, December 3, 2002

Rob VK (Franconia, NH USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: HR Giger (Icons) (Paperback)

this is a great way to get introduced to Giger's work. I would recomend The Necronomicon to follow up this book and watch any of the Alien films to see how Giger's work has influenced Hollywood. Its also an extremely good price.

5.0 out of 5 stars To the last ignorant review, March 2, 2003

Andreas (Commack, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: HR Giger (Icons) (Paperback)

just because some art explores sex does not mean it is "porn". I love the rampant abundance of ignorance in this country. Giger is an amazing artist, if you have not experienced his work than you are surely missing out on some of the most ORIGINAL artwork of this time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous and Fascinating, January 28, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: HR Giger (Icons) (Paperback)

Although not for the weak at heart, Giger explores the dark reaches of his soul and shares it to the world through his paintings. From there, one can begin to see the alien born in each of us.
