Advantages: It's hilarious, witty and extremely well written

Disadvantages: There are none!

'Join Me' is an exciting and hilarious book that you won't be able to put down. It is written by Danny Wallace, a witty and talented writer whose optimism and enthusiasm about everything in life will have you cheering him on as he begins his adventure.

'Join Me' is the true story of how Danny Wallace set up a cult by accident. Whilst sitting in his flat bored one day, Danny decided to stick an advert simply saying 'Join Me' into a newspaper and see what happened. All people had to do to join was to send a passport photo of themselves to a PO Box address, and they would become 'Joinee's. The result? Over 1000 people from all over the world sending their photo to Danny without knowing what or why they were joining. (In fact, Danny didn't come up with a cause until later either!). Danny decided to make these Joinee's his 'Karma Army', and together they set of to do random acts of kindness every Friday.

Along the way, Danny finds himself in some bizzare situations, including appearing on a Belgium TV show, trying to catch an OAP fraudster, and confusing his long-suffering girlfriend Hanne whom he kept his 'Join Me' mission from.

'Join Me' is an absolute gem of a book, Danny is the unlikely hero who can only see the good in people and who you would love as a best friend. He is enthusiastic and excitable and when he starts a mission there is no stopping him. In fact, you may find yourself wanting to Join Him yourself! (The 'Karma Army' is still going strong today).

The book is published by Ebury Press and is available on Amazon and other book shops. I defy you not to find this funny!

Summary: A fantastic book by the brilliant Danny Wallace
