5.0 out of 5 stars Johan's beauty. Roffman's style. A book to drool over!, October 9, 2001

By	ch0pper "ch0pper" (SOUTHAMPTON, Hampshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

Many people have seen Johan Paulik in the bel AMi sex-action films, and have lusted after this beautiful and almost real youth. 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.

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 wonder. has he looked Roffman's pictures? Can he be so unconfident about his body? Surely, he is more rounded 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 friend of mine, a married woman, who looked through the images, paused for breath and then said, "What an outstandingly beautiful man!" That says it all.

A great book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Roffman has captured the 'essense' perfectly, May 18, 2001

By	Marcus Roberts "Marc" (Adelaide, Australia) - See all my reviews

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 At Last a Masterpiece, April 17, 2001

By A Customer

I guess there is no better way for Johan Paulik to conclude his porn career other than offering Howard Hoffman the chance to unleash the mature beauty after years of classy art in warm porn with George Duroy. Well, Johan or "Daniel" is still stunningly beautiful and who knows what's coming next?? Maybe a career in professional modeling? I certainly hope so, so more people may get the chance to enjoy that unusual sensuality in a covered modern yet sexy images. Howard Hoffman has shown great abilities in this passionate master work with Johan Paulik. Superb artistic work done.
