Rating: - Great fun!
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.

Rating: - Lost interest....
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.

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.

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.
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 ... Read More

Rating: - Dissappointing!!
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!
