Summary: Summary
Review: 'A unique album of photographs featuring Peter Johnson, an athlete Weber discovered on location at a wrestling camp in Iowa. Taken over four consecutive years, the photographs show the evolution from adolescence to manhood, as Johnson is seen in various states of dress and undress, in diverse locations around the world. The Chop Suey Club is not easily classified, but it is Weber at his classical, obsessive best - a must have for all fans of his work.'

Summary: Another Weber Collectible
Review: Although this book will add nothing to the evolution or intellectual dimensions of fine art photography, it is nonetheless Weber at his inimitable best. I am constantly amazed that Weber, a maverick in the world of advertising, can convince his young male subjects (who more often than not claim to be heterosexual) to remove their clothes and portray very homoerotic situations and poses. This young man, for example, makes a point of stating hisheterosexuality. But the photographs taken of him suggest something altogether different. Maybe it's the allure of the camera, and ultimately the fame it conveys.

Summary: The Chop Suey Club
Review: Finally Bruce Weber has assembled a collection which is heartfelt, sincere and passionate. If you skip a few vulgar nudes, most of these portraits are outstanding and lively. They key of this success relies on the intimacy and passion that every photo reveals. Each photo is a tassel in a perfect yet articulate mosaic that goes from fashion to portrait, into documentary. Both a document and an act of love that spans across five years. Not only the work is honest but it's technically far superior to any of his previous collections. By far his best collection and a must for every fashion photography lover. Well done!

Summary: It's all about Peter Johnson
Review: I love Bruce Weber's latest book with the exciting sexy photos of my now favorite model Peter Johnson. He is the most photogenic person I have seen in a while. I was thrilled to discover another photobook that was released at the same time as "the Chop Suey Club" called "The Class of Click" featuring Peter Johnson again. This book represents the hottest fashion model of the agency Click in a highschool yearbook format. Needless to say that Peter takes on different roles in that hyperreal set highschool and looks amazing. It's all about Peter Johnson.

Summary: Well named, but the joke is on the buyer
Review: Like the old joke about Chinese Food, "Eat and half an hour later, you're hungry again", this book leaves a reader with the sense that the money for the book was not well spent.With Abercrombie & Fitch catalogues and at least a dozen fashion-oriented magazines featuring photography that's as good (or better, depending on your tastes and preferences), this book is not worth getting excited aobut...probably the reason it's out of print. David Morgan, Patrick McMullan, Bel Ami, and several other photographers have far better 'product' availabl...
