Review: An interesting concept that's just not quite funny

As usual I received this book free for the purposes of review. This time it was directly from the author via email. Despite that kindness I give my candid opinions below.This is a pretty simple book; it's just a series of pictures featuring the author's old WANG computer posed into various situations that lend themselves to puerile puns about penises. Enough said.On the good side, this is intended to be a wacky madcap book with its mind in the gutter and, as the kids say, the book "owns" that about itself. It is exactly what it intends to be which is to be respected. So I give the author credit for staying true to the theme.The downside, however, is that most of the content just isn't funny. There are a few that make you nod in vague appreciation but nothing in this made me crack a smile. I can be a somber sort at times but I'm not THAT somber; this just quite cut it. Moving on from the words, much of the photography was also found wanting. Picture sizes varied wildly and each page is only about half filled. It felt like the author might have been stretching a bit to get to 69.In summary, I can see the potential for this book but it needs more ... something. There are only so many penis puns after all and maybe 69 is just too many.PS: It is always my endeavor to provide helpful reviews. If you find my review helpful please vote appropriately.
