Summary: how did this ever get published?
Comment: i don't mean to be rude, but this is not a good book. oh, there are one or two decent facts, but overall there is no CONTENT.
i'm sure ms. paley is a lovely person, and as such, well-meaning... but that doesn't qualify her as a writer, which she most assuredly is NOT.
this book not just weak, it's actually quite lame. is it funny? the only laughs this astonished reader had were at the amateurish attempts at humor. in other words, she tries so darn hard to be funny you just have to laugh...not with her, i'm afraid, but at her.
the biggest disappointment is the fact that, rather than a book filled with interesting factoids, one finds slips of information...sub-facts. ALMOST facts. pitiful.
i just can't recommend this to anyone (unless it's to learn how NOT to write a book about penises...or any other thing, for that matter). it's not good. not good at all.

Summary: AWESOME BOOK
Comment: This is a crash course into the male sex organ which explores everything from the physiology of the erection to the role of the penis in different men and cultures. The author went to great lengths to interview sex workers, single and married men and women, as well as transsexuals.
The book touches on every conceivable aspect, characteristic, practice and custom related to the penis. This author has created a book that educates and entertains. It's filled with fact and fantasy. It was fun to read and gave me a greater understanding of a mans powerful body part.

Summary: Too Much Information
Comment: Maggie Paley's The Book of the Penis is exactly that and nothing more. It is all penis all the time. She covers every aspect of the penis in all its wondrous forms. She will shock and delight and make you giggle or squirm (particulary if are already an owner of one of those penii). It is a perfect bathroom book. The only problem, in the end, is that each of the little sections are short and provide no depth and are easily forgetten. After awhile there is a sameness to the book (for obvious reasons) that, perhaps, mirrors its subject. Maybe if one does see enough (or read enough about them) every penis does appear the same and they lose their mysterious magic. Still, a fun read that dissappears in a puff of smoke as quickly as the words depart.
