Book Review: Party! Patio! by Andy Boring

Party! Patio! by Andy Boring

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Party! Patio! is the sequel to Dick Swap, a short story about two friends who trade penises. At the end of Dick Swap, Keith was still missing his penis and Kevin went back to his luxurious penthouse in New York. In Party! Patio!, Keith shows up at Kevin's luxurious penthouse still missing his member and hungry for Applebees. Things are amiss in Kevin's penthouse, his wife in on the kitchen floor and doesn't move. Keith is fairly certain she is dead, but Kevin will not hear of it. Keith eventually finds his penis, but I won't tell you where and Kevin turns into a mean, unsanitary person who abuses Keith every chance he gets. Party! Patio! is at times hysterically funny, disgusting, and sad. It's the literary equivalent of a Wesley Willis song.

Review: Dick Swap by Andy Boring

Dick Swap by Andy Boring

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


"Dick Swap" is a tender and moving tale of two friends, Keith and Kevin whose friendship is so strong they are willing to share their most intimate possessions to help each other out. By intimate possessions, I mean penises. Yes, penises. Keith and Kevin have detachable organs that they swap from time to time. Kevin's girlfriend, Joan, is 25 years older than him and has had 3 children and a lot of sex. Kevin's manhood is not large enough to satisfy Joan so Keith lets Kevin borrow his member because he is a good friend and frequently needs a ride because he's poor and can't afford a car. One morning, after a night of extreme rabble-rousing, Kevin wakes up to find Keith's penis has been stolen. The two friends set off on a cross-country adventure to find the missing member where they spend a tremendous amount of time getting drunk and assaulting each other.

"Dick Swap" is crazy. It is weird. It is one of the funniest short stories I have read in ages. It's also free.
