Advantages: Very funny, positive, light hearted, well written

Disadvantages: None of significance

Join me is a story based on true events from the author Danny Wallace. Danny is an extremely positive and humorous writer, I'm not sure how much of it is an act, but he's a little naive in his positivity and I find it very appealing.

Danny goes to Switzerland to attend a funeral for his late Uncle Gallus, who he's never met. He finds out from a family member that his uncle attempted to form a community/cult on his own, but failed miserably. This inspired Danny to form a cult, I mean a collective, to honour his uncle.

He simply put an ad in a local magazine which said 'Join Me'. To join, all you had to do is send him a passport photo with your name on. Curiosity takes over people and he gets 'Joinees', but neither Danny or the 'Joinees' know what they are going to do.

More and more people join and the pressure mounts as people want to know what they are joining, and all the while he trys to keep the collective a secret from his girlfiriend who hates his immature 'boy projects'.

Danny travels around the world to promote his collective, meeting various types of people, and getting himself in to all sorts of situations. This book is very light-hearted, and easy to follow. It contains many funny moments, and I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting a positive influence. Danny makes a fun situation and excitment out of any dull or ordinary situation.

Summary: Danny Wallace is extremely entertaining and funny
