 Great fun! January 8, 2009
Alexander Zaremba (Chafford, Essex)
As someone who really enjoyed Danny's previous books I wasn't too sure reading some of the reviews if I would like this book. Have to say, now I am over half way through, that it is just as good and just as funny as his other books. He has a great writing style and you can't help but get wrapped up in the story. Will be a sad day when I finish the book, which isn't that far away unfortunately. If you like Danny's previous work this is a must purchase.
 Lost interest.... December 29, 2008
Tom Hagan
I've never read any Danny Wallace books before but a friend recommended this book. I found it quite funny for about 20 pages or so but the book struggled to hold my interest and I eventually couldn't care less if he managed to find his old mates. The whole book is very self absorbed and the more I read gave an impression of Danny Wallaces as being one of those annoying, forward guys who you want to leave but do not have the heart to tell him.
Not a book that I would recommend.
 Not as good .... November 6, 2008

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 'characters' thrown into the book to keep up with. I like a page turner and this isn't one of them. Saying that, if you just need a book to pick up and read when you have a little time to spare, then this could be just what you need.
 A enjoyable way of re-connecting with old friends October 30, 2008
Daniel Storey (Rochester, England)
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.
One day he collected an old box from his parents and discovered an old address book with 12 names of his friends from his school days.
Danny decided to attempt to make contact with these 12 old friends in all manor of ways available to him, including using the Internet, writing letters to old addresses and dressing up in a rabbit to get back at an old friend.
Danny's journey includes trips around England, Australia, America, Japan and Germany.
The resulting journey is a full of fun, joy, pain, understanding and a celebration of friendships rediscovered.
The book is very thought provoking and makes you wonder what would happen if you yourself decided to take up the same challenge as Danny did.
By the end I didn't find the book to be quite as funny as Yes Man the first Danny Wallace book I read but it was still a very entertaining read.
Dissappointing!! September 27, 2008

I almost set it down after 200 pages. But I decided NO... it will get better. It didnt, just rumbled on at the same old speed. Davina McCall describes Danny Wallace to be a genius- O dear, please.
NOT FUNNY!
