5.0 out of 5 stars A different perspective, February 10, 1999
By BoyyToyy69@aol.com (Long Island, NY) - See all my reviews
I see so many criticisms of this book that the women are to "manly" and it lacks "femininity". Hello people? It doesn't take a genius to see that, and it obviously was not an accident. The book offers a *new* perspective on women and captures aspects of the personalities of these models which may go against the grain of society. Sadly, it seems people miss the point and expect petite feminine models, and walk away dissapointed without them. That's not what these photos are about. These photos are about women full of life, feeling, and their own brand of personality. Bianchi pushes the typical limits and challenges the viewer rather than placating him/her with tired traditional concepts of the female nude.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Book If You Want True Erotica, February 1, 2004
By R. Whitfield Preston (NC United States) - See all my reviews
This book is without a doubt simply one of the best erotica books period. What seperates this book from others is this one simple thing: most of the women are showing true emotion and one of the things that every genuine person absolutely has to have. That one thing is a smile. Even though many of the women are not drop-dead gorgeous, it is obvious that they are enjoying themselves by smiling and putting forth true emotion as well as using postures that are welcoming and inviting. One of the big reasons that Tom Bianchi was able to accomplish this is because he asked many of his female friends to pose for him. There are enough books out there with women who are beautiful and attractive, but they look plastic, like mannequins. The overall best pictures in the book deal with a group called Anti-Gravity. The women in these pictures could hold their own with any of today's well-known models, and in a lot of ways they are better simply because...they're smiling. If you want a truly remarkable book, this one has to be it...period.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's about the women, not about sexiness, July 25, 2002
By D. Levy (Detroit, MI USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I believe Bianchi captures women in two ways here -- beauty and love. They're not supermodels (though the "Women of Anti-Gravity" certainly could hold their own against any catwalk strutter or Sports Illustrated swimsuit model), they're simply women. By leaving the viewer to interpret what they see, from women in intimate moments to frolicking with each other to simply being, Bianchi succeeds. I hope he considers making another all-women book soon.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worthwhile, but only for the nudes of the dance group
The only reason to buy this book in my opinion is for the black and white photos of the dance group, called "Anti-Gravity. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as disappointing as that....
As a photographic picture book it is very small and has 96 pages. However, I'm glad hard covers were chosen instead of soft to give the book a long library life. Read more
