Summary: Soooo Hot
Comment: I love this book. The pictures are awesome. The only disappointment is that there weren't more pictures. Excellent ideas and very creative. I especially love the Mena Survani and Anna Kournikova.

Summary: Sooo much colour
Comment: From the very moment you open the cover, the photos in this book are very obviously "glossy magazine" photos. The colour is incredibly rich. The has obviously been a lot of work put into setting up each photo, and they would work well in magazine format. It was a little strange to see them set out in a book like this, but does it makes for a really interesting book. Whilst it isnt an "elite fashion photography" book, I dont think it is trying to be. It is simply a nice collection of photos of some of the popular people (eg. singer, actors) form our era. Mark Seliger and Isabel Snyder are superb fashion photographers, and it really shows in this book. Their photos really stand out from all others in the book, and are all incredibly good photos taken in an interesting manner. Its a good book to sit back on a couch with during the day, with some good tunes in the background.

Summary: Very good, fairly spicy; big pictures of beautiful people
Comment: If you're youthful, up on all the current young stars, and enjoy the kind of photography that Rolling Stone made popular, buy this book now! It's big, colorful, and balmy enough to make you long for a cool shower.
If you're a connoisseur of the finest in photographic images, you may be somewhat underimpressed. Although "HotHouse" is nearer to boiling than freezing, I wouldn't rate the seductivity level as highly as David Wild--who writes the introduction--would make it out to be (see instead the work of Herb Ritts and Sante d'Orazio, among others). Still, overall, it's definitely worth a few looks.
The roughly 100 quality photos get high marks for being uninhibited, expressive, and big (each taking up AT LEAST a full page, thank you). On the downside, I take exception to the overuse of the airbrush and the underuse of b/w photography (but that's just me and my preferences). Thirty-one photographers are represented; however, nearly two-thirds of the shots were taken by only four: Mark Seliger, Isabel Snyder, David LaChapelle and Martin Schoeller. The credits list nothing more than subject and artist, but that's not a major drawback for this type of book. My favorite photos are the b/w of Jennifer Love Hewitt (that face!) and the color shot of Charlize Theron reclining with a wooden mannequin (great imagination!). Other notables are of Katie Holmes, Ananda Lewis, Mariah Carey, Jodi Lyn O'Keefe and Mena Suvari.
All in all, this is a very worthwhile book for fans of young entertainers or photography.
