Rating: - Not as good ....
Pretty much disappointed with this one. Yes Man and Join Me were '5*' excellent and so I was quick to buy this latest offering but I'm pretty much disappointed. There's no doubt that there are a few gems hidden away in here but not enough to make me want to keep turning the pages. Like another review, I too was about to give up after a couple of hundred pages but continued on. Once I finished each chapter, I just wasn't interested in reading the next. It was a struggle with too many names of ... Read More

Rating: - A enjoyable way of re-connecting with old friends
It you have read a Danny Wallace book before then this book is exactly what you would expect from him, funny, witty and enjoyable.
In 2006 Danny was about to turn 30 and was still trying to hang on to his youth, like most people do who are about to become that age.

NOT FUNNY!

Rating: - A joy from start to finish

Rating: - At must if you are around the 30 mark!
You will laugh out loud and you will warm to this writer from the start! It brings back memories of your childhood and all the sweets, TV shows and characters that go with it. I haven't read his other books but I will be buying them right away, and recommending this one to all my friends. Danny Wallace may seem a bit odd when you see him on the telly but this book gets you to the heart of a guy who is naturally very funny.
