Summary: The title says it all
Review: "Prohibited" is the sexually most explicit of Royo's books. Again, astonishingly beautiful, sexy women are the center of attention. It's like a notebook for "III Millenium" 'coz the background is dark, suggesting danger. My biggest problem with this book is that the pictures are ranging from small to tiny, which gives me this 'notebook'-impression. Other than that it is high quality work. Royo's use of light is simply excellent - as always.

Summary: Royo with a Twist
Review: As an avid Royo fan, I was on the edge of my seat to recieve his latest addition to the collection. Prohibited showed a very "dark" Royo, and not the usual darkness...this went beyond his normally violent/sexy approach and was filled with sexual violence. This book is still a work of art, all of Royo's paintings are beautiful and this is no exception...just not what I was expecting. Plus I wasn't really happy with the smattering of his son's work throughout the "very small" collection. Prohibited is the smallest release yet, with few paintings and small pages. It felt more like a thrown together volume to advertise for his up and coming son, rather than a compilation of new visions. The end result? A few VERY good paintings, but mostly fluff...I was disappointed over all.

Summary: Leftovers
Review: As Royo's work goes this book does not live up to his usual standard. There seems to be just a hodgepodge of art that he and his son did with a dark twist; his other collections are much more enjoyable and unless you're into some demented stuff don't bother with this one.

Summary: The art of erotica
Review: As with each passing, Luis Royo offers more promissing and sexual images than in any of his prior works. This book is definitely not for the young as many of the images do little, if anything to hide the sexual interests being portrayed. Still, any fan of Luis Royo, erotic art or art in general would be mistaken to miss this work. The mood in which this book is portrayed could be argued, but nothing can remove from the quality of art that Luis Royo achieved in this book.

Summary: good but not what I expected
Review: I am an admiror of royo's great artistic skills and when I saw that this new piece was being released I didn't hesitate in buying it,while I wasn't disapointed at royo's displayed art I did expect a lot more than this,.it has a very small amount of illustrations and this book is just about sexual imagery,no fantasy or general ideas displayed here,besides these illustrations aren't as overwhelming as those you usualy see from royo's wide collection. also there are some of his sons works displayed throughout the book,but I didn't like them because they have nothing to do with royo's style,they're completely out of context. the texts that you find on this book are somewhat twisted. actually this little book is like a collectors item,not really something very special.only worth getting it if you like to have a complete collection of royo's books.

Summary: My wish would be that this book be full sized
Review: On the plus side this is a hard cover book so that sort of makes up for the smaller size and low page count.
some reviews may rate this book low due to its explicitness, but
that's really what the prohibited series of books represents..
not just nude - seminude pinups..
In here you'll find some of the same type of art you may be used to from Royo.. and some more explicit.
With the prohibited series Royo seems to like using a sketch like technique for most of his pics.. very dull browns or stained looking pages, a few images are the full or vibrant color that Royo is famous for. It's a different style to his first books, but you can tell its by the same artist.
Even his son Romulo chimes in with a few pieces of his art, they are very tiny images. it looks like he uses real photos and manipulates them with a computer.
Prohibited is a must have series for fans of Luis Royo that want to find out some Malefic Secrets, Dreams and Visons of Luis Royo's Women
