A must have
"Lavish book!"
Companion to the DVD
"Overall a very interesting and engaging read, although there are definitely some noticeable typos and bits that weren't translated from the French (the translation probably also explains why it reads a bit unnaturally in places). The organization is a bit confusing (it's not strictly chronological), and I wish there were a table of contents. However it does have a lot of sexy photos of Brigitte if that's what you're looking for."
Amazing book with beautiful photos
"This is an amazing book, full of beautiful, high quality erotic pictures of Bridgitt and interesting stories. Very high production quality, thick paper, hard cover. A perfect collector's book. Excellent value to price ratio. Highly recommend."
Excellent book on Brigitte
"Fantastic book, better than expected. Loads of photos but also plenty of information on different parts of her career and on individual films. Well worth it."
Essential Overview of Major Eurocult Star
"Handsomely bound, profusely illustrated volume featuring an extensive exploration of the film work of Brigitte Lahaie. Presumably the definitive work on the subject for the foreseeable future."
I mean, c'mon!
"Is it great? YEAH! It's a book about Brigitte! Photography is suberp! And it is a great read. Isn't there a manko? YES! There is: no filmography. - I know, IMDB and Co., but this is a missed chance. - Buy this book! Who knows, how long it will be available. Only the french (and some cool guys in USA) will do this, in Germany/Austria, there will never be a book like this. Let's dive into the wonderful work and life of Brigitte!"
