Product Description

Review

"'Danny Wallace does things few other people would and writes about them in ways that few people could. He's as funny as Bill Bryson used to be.' Nicholas Barber, Independent on Sunday 'The funniest writer of his generation. Apart from me.' Dom Joly"

Product Description

'I, Danny Wallace, being of sound mind and body, do hereby write this manifesto for my life. I swear I will be more open to opportunity. I swear I will live my life taking every available chance. I will say Yes to every favour, request, suggestion and invitation. I Will Swear To Say Yes Where Once I Would Say No.' Danny Wallace had been staying in. Far too much. Having been dumped by his girlfriend, he really wasn't doing the young, free and single thing very well. Instead he was avoiding people. Texting them Instead of calling them. Calling them Instead of meeting them. That is until that one fateful date when a mystery man on a late-night bus told him to 'Say Yes more'. These three simple words changed Danny's life forever. Yes Man is the story of what happened when Danny decided to say Yes to everything, in order to make his life more interesting. And boy, did it get more interesting.

5.0 out of 5 stars YES I LOVED IT!, 1 Aug 2006

By	Haunted Doll "Haunted Doll" (South East, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Yes Man (Paperback)

I cannot express how much i loved reading this book and am now passing it on to every friend, member of my family, co-worker, aquaintance and passer by who will take it!

This is the funniest book I have read in a very long time and any book that makes me laugh out loud on nearly every page is a definite winner!

Danny has a unique and self-depricating style of writing with fantastic dry humour. Every chapter brought a new adventure - my personal favourite must be the Amsterdam adventure due to Danny's little canine friend! haha Although i loved Barcelona & Marc too!

I challenge anyone not to smile whilst reading this book - it is such a breath of fresh air. Get hold of a copy now!

Si A Todo!

5.0 out of 5 stars Si a Todo!, 21 Aug 2006

By	S. Somerville-large (St. Neots, Cambs United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Yes Man (Paperback)

This book is great! its starts off with danny. our hero of this tale. however at the start, he is rather dull, and seems to lost his love for life, while taking a bus home, a strange man tells him to " say yes more" and in true danny wallace fashion, he does exactly that, which leads him all around the world. and leads to some very funny situations!
In danny's "yess manifesto" it says he has to say yes to everything, including all invites and requests etc.

so when danny has ges a span email from " the son of a murdered sultan" danny see's the positive side of it, and ends up trying to help him out! eventually he ends up in amsterdam, and I wont spoil that escapade for you!

this is a highly enjoyable book, which is easy going, and makes great light reading! it also ends up giving you a whole new outlook on life, and renember! si a Todo!

5.0 out of 5 stars The man does it again!, 22 April 2006

By	R. Watts (England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Yes Man (Paperback)

I read Join Me. Brilliant book. I couldn't help but feel inspired by his efforts, and guess what, the man has done it again!

With a fantastically quirky sense of humour that had me giggling my head off as I settled down in a pub to read it (you wouldn't believe some of the looks I was getting from innocent pint drinkers), and a seemingly innate talent for a) having interesting friends, and b) being able to write about them very well, Danny Wallace manages to pull off a great story, entertaining all the way through.

Nothing I can say will do this book justice. You will have to make your own mind up. I finished this book in 7 hours, the only break was going to the bar. I couldn't put it down. If I'd gone into a coma, I'd have come out of it just to finish this book. For some reason I want to read it again already. And somehow Yes Man has made its way to the TOP of my favourites list.

Oh and I promise to say yes more!

Read this book, it might just put a few things in perspective, it did for me.
