“Van Driel wants to do two things: to inform readers about the anatomy and workings of the penis, scrotum and the rest of it, doing so lightheartedly and with humor, as though a slightly boozy uncle were instructing you about how machine guns work; second, to entertain . . . [Van Driel] wears his learning lightly.” —Globe and Mail
