Is Three a Luck Number?Review Date: 2000-05-23
YOUTHFUL EROTICISM !Review Date: 2005-04-10
EnjoyableReview Date: 2003-07-19
Three is a tribute to Roffman's contributions to the continuing study of the male nude. Using Black and White photography to capture the playful, emotional, passionate nature to three romantically entwined individuals, Roffman offers the world a look into a very interesting relationship. A relationship which I am uncertain that I could emotionally withstand. Nonetheless, these three are going against the societal tides in an expression of love that is truly unique.
The history behind the relationship was not throughout the book which might have made it even more interesting. The storyline might also have been beneficially fleshed out. One does wish to know a bit more about these individuals. It was well worth the money; I do heartily recommend it to you.
A vivid portrayal of boys at play.Review Date: 2001-11-09
There is some explanatory text but this is just a tad saccharine in it's sentimentality. The photographs are stunning, and that is what is truly important, so you can afford to ignore the text if you wish. He's even made some of the grins seem enticing. The more thoughtful photographs are truly erotic.
This is not a wank mag - it's softback and the spine isn't too strong, even if your's is. It is, however, a strongly recommended example of young men at one with each other ad the photographer.

The kids at Macdonald Hall raise money for a pool.Review Date: 1999-01-26
Very funny stuff-- One of the best in the seriesReview Date: 2005-03-10
Bruno and Boots find themselves trying to raise money so that MacDonald Hall can have a swimming pool, and their efforts are fueld by a sense of competition with a neighboring institution. They try everything from playing the stock market to erecting a toll booth, and the wacky cast of supporting characters (including my favorite, science nerd Eelmer Drimsdale) offers up plenty of yuks.
Some of the best material comes in the midst of a talent show that Bruno and Boots put on, with predictably entertaining (and somewhat disastrous) results.
Written very early in Korman's career (which began well before he graduated high school), this book is one of the ones upon which his reputation for humor and well-paced novels was based. As a new, fresh writer, Korman showed that he had something to say, and young readers everywhere were all ears.
It is true that his characters can be cartoonish, and the actions often stray from the realm of believability, but you just have to accept that as part of the fun.
This is a great book to cut your Korman-teeth on. You're guaranteed to find it entertaining.

NOT a Diet Book - A Message We All Need to Read!Review Date: 2008-07-12
Sure we see Jared on TV. We think: young, good-looking, slender spokesperson celebrity. What could possibly be the big deal?
In the book, Jared discloses the story of the pain and the humiliation of weighing 425 pounds. Yet, it's a story we can all relate to. For instance, we have all been ostracized.
Jared talks about hanging out with the high school "misfits" at the cafeteria. Then, after being branded as a misfit among misfits, he's forced to eat by himself at lunch. "There's nothing worse," Jared says, "then having to sit by yourself when you are fat. Then everyone really notices how fat you are. They look at you with disgust as they walk by, and judge the food you have on your tray." He then goes on to discuss taking the verbal stings of the "killer bee" girls in his co-ed gym class.
Jared assures us that it's okay to wallow around in the muck for a while until we find out what works for us as individuals attempting to achieve our goals. (I found great solace in that fact and could relate it to my own career.)
There's plenty of humor in the book as well. Jared discusses shooting his first Subway commercial (by the way, there is actually very little mention of Subway in the book). He had a hard time finding any "healthy" food on the set. Finally, he found a Subway sandwich on a tray, and rushed over to grab it. "No!" the producer yelled at him. "That one is for the commercial!" It had been sprayed with shellac!
After reading this book, I have vowed to eat even better than I already have begun. Thanks, Jared!
My only wish is that Subway would promote this book in its stores to its customers. In the meantime, get the book on your own. It's a message we all need to read!

AN UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL LOOK AT THE OTHER SIDEReview Date: 2007-10-22
A glimpse into the Third ReichReview Date: 2000-09-05
Personal Exorcism Not CompletedReview Date: 2005-10-13
In some ways it is repetitive. The author explains again and again how he was brainwashed into Nazism from youth to young adulthood. He digresses into various life experiences with teachers, schools, childhood friends, military experiences and lesser details of life. All of which he thinly connects to his primary purpose for the memoir, exorcising his personal demons over blindly serving Hitler. Many of those digressions would be unremarkable without that connection. Bruno uses those vignettes to underscore that he was misguided but they fail to reveal, illuminate or prove how any particular incident, mentor or authority figure contributed to his blind devotion to Hitler. In fact, he frequently recounts how he internally rebelled against school authorities, military authorities, rules and procedures that didn't make common sense or rubbed him the wrong way. If that is so, then he should have self analyzed further to determine how and why he dismissed his conscience when it called about Hitler, the concentration camps and the Jews. He continued to follow the grand lie and served as essentially a political officer in youth organizations and later in the military. He recounts that he was never very enthusiastic and harbored doubts, yet he continuously pressed on. Example on pg 69, he describes a school director quoting Hitler's credo, "He who wants to live, let him fight. And he who does not want to fight in this world of eternal struggle does not deserve to live." Bruno expresses misgivings when the school director says that is more religion than a person would ever find in the Bible. He admits agreeing with the anti-Semitism and anti-Catholicism of the director but boycotts his classes from then on. Methinks he doth protest too much.
Don't get me wrong, Bruno Manz clearly, genuinely, honestly apologizes for his personal role in Germany's evil shame. He denounces all that he was and embraces all that he has become since the war and particularly while living in America. But in the end about all that Bruno confirms is that, at least between 1915 and 1946, Germans were weak for rhetoric, easily swayed by romantic and heroic figures, and followed the crowd. He doesn't dig deep enough to reveal how that was possible. Were they greedy, mad, angry, vulnerable, ambitious, fearful, bombastic, maniacal, weak, bloodthirsty, gullible? Personally, he was swayed by Dad while impressionable and later by Hitler via Goebbels propaganda machine. OK, we already know that about every German during WWII. Bruno, why and how were you vulnerable to that when the rest of the world was not? Why do some Germans today continue to deny the Holocaust? Why is there an element that still deifies Hitler and anti-Semitism?
I suspect that Bruno cannot to this day accept his own cowardice. He never dared to disagree or question his father, although he credits his mother and older brother with being able to avoid anti-Semitic hatred and Hitler worship. He wouldn't dare question his Nazism or the Fuhrer because he very likely knew it would mean his death or imprisonment. Hmmm, that may be the self evident truth every German citizen who willingly participated in Nazism has to face. They didn't take any contrary action because it was someone else who was being victimized and they were cowards. So, while he may have achieved some catharsis, I doubt that he completely exorcised the regret and shame he aimed for. Still, the book has some value derived from its basic honesty and first person account.

Important insight into the mind of a German betrayedReview Date: 2002-01-04
Did the German civilians know about the atrocities of the concentration and extermination camps? Over the recent years, this question has loomed large in works concerning WWII in the European theater. Manz can't answer for every German during that period, but he gives us HIS story as an offering to further understanding in this matter.
This book struck a very personal chord with me. Although I was born decades after WWII, I grew up in a country where the press (in fact, every type of media - books, TV, movies, etc.) was heavily censored by the national government. The government told people what to think, what to say, when to assemble, and throws those who defy their orders in jail under the holy name of "national security". As a result, I totally understand how mind-numbing propoganda can be. A population, after all, is merely a collection of individuals living in a state. An individual's morals and personal biases are largely dependent on what information they have available to them. Hitler understood this very well, and with the help of his propoganda minister, Goebbels, managed to shape the thinking of an amazingly large portion of the German population, including the author's.
Manz is all the more convincing because he doesn't get overly apologetic, but does admit that he's not in any way proud of all that he has done (he was a Hitler Youth, and later a soldier in the German army). He feels very strongly for the victims of the Third Reich (the book is dedicated to them), and although he was never in direct contact with any official programs dealing with the "Jewish problem", regrets that he couldn't have done more.
It is very touching to read books by those who were on the "wrong" side of the war, especially those with a sense of morality (however late it surfaced) like Manz. This book is an important reminder to us of how dangerous bigotry can be, especially when it is led by an eloquent and convincing tyrant.

ExistencialismReview Date: 2006-04-28
In some way Eugenia felt like she must corresponds him by marring him, because she knew that that was what Augusto wants. One night before the wedding she escape with her boyfriend and leave a letter to Augusto, giving thanks for pay the house but she couldn't married him. Augusto felt terrible and died in his bed. And the theme that I like is existentialism, in which the man is victim of his own circumstances. In which Augusto knew that Eugenia was a pretty and that she never was going to fall in love with him. Also when tries to play a Hero when he pays the loans to the bank, so Eugenia can see what her best choice is.
Practically it was about a man that is trying to be happy, but didn't know how to choose the correct way.

NIEBLA... like nothing you have ever read before!!!Review Date: 2001-11-01
This book deals with human emotions, thoughts and fears in a deep, meaningful and funny way. It has a little bit of everything, private conversations with God, the search for the true meaning of life, the quest to find an everlasting love, the fear of facing death, and the hardships that every single human faces during a lifetime.
I read it in Spanish, and I have to say it is one of the best written books I have read so
far. Every single word is where it should be, and the story flows magnificently.
Although it deals with very serious topics,
the story is simple, well written, funny, easy to read and with a very unexpected twist at the end...
It simply belongs to a class of its own.

Niebla... es un libro maravilloso, que toca temas
muy profundos y valiosos para cualquier ser humano, de una manera unica, original e incluso graciosa.
Incluye conversaciones
privadas con Dios, la busqueda incanzable por encontrar el verdadero significado de la vida, la necesidad de encontrar el
amor, el miedo a la muerte.... en fin.... un poco de todo, y sin embargo la historia es simple, facil de seguir, divertida
y con un personaje principal con el que cualquiera puede identificarse.
Definitivamente uno de los mejores libros que he leido... Unamuno tiene una manera unica de escribir y de mantener al lector interesado a lo largo de toda la historia.

His newest offering, X-Posed, is no exception. As you'd expect, the men featured within these pages are stunning, gorgeous, beautiful, sexy- everything you could want in a perfect model. What sets these photos apart from every other book of nude men however, is the brilliance of the man behind the lens. The shots are full of so much emotion, so much tension, relief, ecstasy, and masculinity, that they seem to come to life, each one telling a unique story.
There's no shortage of skin either, but unlike some other books in this genre, X-Posed is never skanky or trashy. Paging through this volume doesn't leave you feeling dirty, and you never wonder why these models took their clothes off. Rosser brings such an original, primal, and comfortable feeling to the male form that each man is perfection in his own self.
And as the reader, we're fortunate enough to get to share in their beauty.
X-Posed is an incredible volume of photographic artistry, featuring magnificent images of incredibly sexy men. Add it to your collection, or pick it up and keep it on hand for the next time you need a housewarming gift- I guarantee whoever receives it will get quite warm indeed...

Roffman documents three men/lover's lives. The photographs are visually pleasing and very erotic. This is a unique collection that certainly merits review. Roffman's photographs captures the male form in various stages of passion, as well as in mundane moments; each definitely tells a story of the men and leaves the viewer to conjure up stories to fill in the narrative blanks (no pun intended).
I highly recommend THREE. It's a wonderful coffeetable book...:)
