1: Pretty women; so-so settings...
Steve Reno certainly has talent, and he likes drawing pretty women in dangerous settings. But are his drawings erotic? Well, some of them certainly are. By my count there are 67 drawings in this book. I divided Reno's illustrations into three different quality categories: Excellent, Average, and Weak. I rated 15 of his drawings as Excellent, 27 as Average, and 25 as Weak.
On the positive side, I liked the "women as playthings" motif, I enjoyed most of the bondage drawings, and I especially loved the handful of illustrations of girls with other girls.
On the negative side, there were way too many tentacles involved, also too many machines. Also, if the girls appears to be about to be drowning or stuff like that, I simply didn't find it erotic.
Overall, a fairly good effort, at least in my opinion.

2: Awesome Artwork!
Reno's artwork is outstanding! This book had pieces that invoked humor and passion.
And great addition to anyones collection.

3: WOMEN AS SENSUAL SEX OBJECTS
Damsels in distress? No! How about Sensual Distress, the latest hot collection of art from Sal Quartuccio Productions. Their latest release presents the art of Steve Reno, 64 pages of playful pinups especially geared towards the bondage/fetish fan. The Reno woman is beautiful, busty, and always seemingly has a wide-eyed look of shock and surprise on her face, as she is caught up in the most...distressful situations!
All of Steve's pieces are titled which is nice, especially when one is trying to do a review. Steve first takes fans on a tour of sensual distress through the ages with images that have come to exemplify eras of film and popular culture. The first with showing a girl about to be sawed in half by a dastardly, handlebar mustached villain. "Cliffhanger" gives us a scene straight out of 1940's B-Movie serials as the lovely heroine is tossed from a cliff, her hands and feet bound tightly. The 1950's piece is all about giant monsters and evil aliens, binding these poor girls in their sinewy webs. The 1980's gives us Reno's take on the video game Dragon's Lair with his love girl about to be eaten by the scaly terror.
From there we get a variety of different illustrations from the terrifying to the hilarious. Reptiles and octopus-like creatures play a prime role as monsters of choice in Steve's work. Their tentacles are often found binding and probing their beautiful subjects. "island Sacrifice" finds a buxom topless girl tied to a palm tree as tentacles rise out of the sea to embrace her. "Collecting Figures" find doll-like subjects being tape to title cards by their collector. "Steve-O-Reno's Vibe-O-Rama" is one of the provocative pieces as a bound, blonde Goddess is surrounded by all manner and shape of mechanical-armed vibrators. "Floor Models" features a man looking at half dozen tied up women as he tries to decide which one he wants to take home.
This is just a fun, sexy book. 64 pages with black & white interior art and color covers. This is women objectified in the most sensual manner!

4: Kinky, clever and a whole bunch of fun ...
At times, indeed, the world seems aflame and in the midst of a cultural war. Sanctimonious religious authorities and would-be moral police of various ilk would have us all in sackcloth with blindfolds if they had their way. In this war, I for one, am delighted to be on side that welcomes expressions of eroticism, free speech and kinky pencil drawings. Steve O draws women who end up looking even better than those in my head (and I have a pretty damn good imagination). His clever and often tongue-in-cheek perils are wonderfully rendered and beautifully composed. Ye Who Enter: Abandon All Political Correctness ... but plan on having a great time with this one. It's a keeper.
