4.0 out of 5 stars A coffee table book for your torture chamber, November 19, 2002
This review is from: H. R. Giger's Necronomicon II (Hardcover)
Giger's art, like the music of Marilyn Manson, the paintings of Jackson Pollock, and the clothing taste of Cher, tends to provoke extreme reactions in people (the classic "love-hate" relationship). This book, as well as the first Necronomicon volume, delves deep into the subconscious and comes up with fists full of squirming demons and violent yet artful sexual imagery. Some people are so repulsed by these "shadowed" parts of the psyche that they condemn Giger's art in general, while others wallow in the decay and degradation he depicts, believing it to be a mirror of the world they see around them. I personally keep Giger's work next to that of Alex Grey on my bookshelf, representing the dark repressed side of human nature coexisting along with the transcendental, spiritual side. Some may call Giger's art spiritual; I personally find it far too celebratory of the flesh for it to be truly spiritually-themed. If you are considering buying this book, first of all be forewarned: it is graphic and disturbing, but if you're looking at Giger books to begin with you probably already knew that. Also, I find the first Necronomicon volume to be better than this one. But if you are a fan you definitely will not be disappointed. You should probably buy one of Giger's lower-priced retrospectives if you're only going to have one of his books, but the attractively presented Necronomicons are the logical next step if you find yourself wanting more. Giger's work is very yin; just make sure you have some yang on your bookshelf to balance it.

By A Customer
This review is from: H. R. Giger's Necronomicon II (Hardcover)
As Giger fans, this is an excellent follow-up to "Necronomicon", with more gorgeous pictures. Another excellent gift for that special weirdo in your life.

5.0 out of 5 stars the art designer on the film alien and species an art source book for fans, November 22, 2008
By dougie (scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: H. R. Giger's Necronomicon II (Hardcover)
this book is a wonderfull addition to any collector of HR Gigers work.
This is a large hardback book with glossy interior pages filled with the paintings of his work and marker drawings, considering that his paintings were completed using an airbrush with only loose masks is remarkable at the detail in his work.
I bought the book from Amazon and in due course When I received it, it was brand new and wrapped and came in a big box which was inside a sack, so the book was in perfect condition, so if you want it this is the place to buy it..
