JOIN ME

It cunningly arrived in my post Saturday past along with its younger brother "Friends Like These". If you're wondering what i mean by younger brother then have a good little think about it and get back to me!

Anyways, yeah, "Join Me" is, believe it or not, only the 4th book I currently have in my ever-growing collection. It's once again written by Danny Wallace, who also wrote the book i finished a month or so back, "Yes Man". However this book was actually released before "Yes Man" so in a convenient way, story wise, it's actually a prequel to "Yes Man". If you haven't read "Yes Man" yet then you won't have a clue what i'm about to ramble on about but in it, Danny talk about an ex-girlfriend "Hanne". Well in "Join Me" he's actually still with "Hanne" so it's an interesting little look at what actually went wrong with them in a way. As you read you'll gather exactly what went wrong. I'm roughly about a third of the way through the book and already have a clear picture of what the reason may be.

Back to the main point though, "Join Me" as you could probably guess, revolves around an incident Danny found himself in at one point in his life. He stumbles across news of a family member's death then stumbles further over a venture said family member embarked on at one point in his life. In order to pay tribute to the family member, he takes it upon himself to fulfill this venture to its true potential, essentially creating his grand scheme "Join Me".

I won't ramble on about it anymore. If it sounds interesting enough to you at this point then you'll be sure to check it out right?

Being the slow reader that I am, i've suprised myself with this one. I'm getting through it at a decent pace. I usually read a couple of chapters a night with a few days in between those nights so i'm glad i've found potential in this story to keep me interested more than i'd usually be. Once i'm done with it i'll most likely start reading "Friends Like These". Something that sounds just as fun as this. I'll get to that at a later stage though.

I purchased "Join Me" along with "Friends Like These" HERE (for the lovely price of £5 each.)
