Book Description
Danny is back with more hilarious true-life stories of hopeless modern manhood
Product Description
In 2010's brilliant AWKWARD SITUATIONS FOR MEN, Danny Wallace entertained us with wonderful bite-sized stories from his often embarrassing and bewildering everyday life as a man.
Well, now it's 2011 and Danny is back - and he's even more confused than ever!
A lot has happened to Danny Wallace in the past year. He has had a baby and has been hobnobbing with the powers that be in Hollywood. But that hasn't made him any less awkward.
Being more of a grown up brings its own baffling etiquette and expected social graces, and no-one has told Danny.
Join Danny once again on his very funny stumble through more Awkward Situations. It's not easy being a man!

Despite the author telling us in his introduction that this book would probably be best enjoyed by dipping into it and reading a small section at a time, I ignored his advice and polished it off in a day. I don't think that my blatant insubordination spoilt my enjoyment of it though because I still found this to be a very entertaining book.
Like in his previous book Danny Wallace writes about the occasions when he found himself in an `awkward situation' during his everyday life. These are the sort of situations that happen to everybody and can happen anywhere; for Danny Wallace amongst the places they happened were at a cash machine, when queuing in a shop and whilst waiting for a lift. Clearly the reason that they are so funny is because of what Germans call schadenfreude - taking pleasure in the misfortune of others, particularly when you can easily imagine being in a similar situation yourself. What is hard to imagine though, is that they could happen quite so often as they seem to happen to Danny Wallace.
Because each awkward situation only usually takes three pages to recount this makes this book extremely readable, although be warned - some people may find that they have already read many of them before, in the pages of a well-known free weekly magazine.

A fantastic read. Just the one snag, the T shirt was a size "Large". Being a short arse, it looked ridiculous on me! I wish there was an option to choose which size you required.

After reading all of Danny's book, I must say that I was most disappointed with this latest effort. Although Danny states that it is a book to dip in on occasions I felt that the observations were desperate and it lacked the impact of the first book. I know these books are based on previous columns so felt that the book lacked the originality of some of his earlier attempts. I hope that Danny comes back with something that has more humour. I felt this was sold on him become a father but not many of these observations related to the new time in his life. The one plus was I have gained a new gym t-shirt! Sorry Danny but this is cashing in and being lazy-you can do better!!!

Boring book
I bought this because I have enjoyed Danny's previous books so much. However, this offering borders on the tedious. I only read about ten pages a day and then had to put it down! Read more

Enjoyable, but pretty similar to the first Awkward book...
This was an enjoyable book but there was a few parts where I felt a little bit of deja vu from a previous Danny book. Read more
