Product Description

The Bookseller

Danny Wallace needs no introduction...another comedy masterpiece, sure to please fans of his previous books


Product Description

Danny Wallace is about to turn thirty and his life has become a cliche. Recently married and living in a smart new area of town, he's swapped pints for lattes and had even contemplated buying coasters. Something wasn't right - he was feeling way too grown-up. Until - Danny finds an old address book containing just twelve names. His best mates as a kid. Where are they now? Who are they now? And how are they coping with this scary concept of being grown-up? And so begins a journey from A-Z, tracking down and meeting his old gang. He travels from Berlin to Tokyo, from Sydney to LA. He even goes to Loughborough. He meets Fijian chiefs. German rappers. Some ninjas. And a carvery manager who's managed to solve time travel. But how will they respond to a man they haven't seen in twenty years, turning up and asking if they're coming out to play? Friends Like These is the story of what can happen when you track down your past, and of where the friendships you thought you'd outgrown can take you today...

5.0 out of 5 stars Laugh out Loud, 7 Jul 2008
By Carole roberts (Lancs, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I haven't read a Danny Wallace book before. I hadn't even heard of him until I read a couple of extracts from "Friends Like These" in the paper.

To say it is funny doesn't get near to doing it justice. I commute on the train and it is now embarassing reading it as I am unable to control laughing out loud at the book. I am the same age as Danny, so whether some of his memories ring even more true because of this, I don't know. But his observational humour, hilarious stories and descriptive narrative really make you feel like you are on a journey with him.

Just so very, very funny - I don't see how anyone could fail to find it hilarious

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely 1st class!, 3 Jul 2008
By H. Chapman "Serenity" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I don't want to give anything away about the 'plot' so that you have it all to savour. This book is pure pleasure. It's what learning to read was all about! I was laughing out loud every few minutes & cried buckets too. What an amazing writer Danny Wallace is. I'd loved all his other books (especially 'Join Me') but this is the best yet. My Danny Wallace books are the 1st ones I'd grab to take on a desert island or rescue from a house fire LOL! The only tragedy was knowing it would come to an end. I read it greedily in 2 days flat & can honestly say I feel really bereft now! Buy this book immediately or before if you can.

5.0 out of 5 stars Growing Up Is Hard To Do, 2 Jul 2008
By Mr. P. Clements "fracturedglitter" (jersey) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have loved Danny's previous books, as well as his television work so I awaited this with breathe well and truly baited. The book arrived in the trusty amazon packing on Monday and here i sit on a wednesday wishing I hadn't read it so fast, but I couldn't put it down. The eternal story of man's struggle to give up his youth is perfectly illustrated by Danny and his quest proves he is a genius with a pen and a wordsmith, and a very good speller.

Loved this book, and can't recommend it enough
