In the interests of variety I have twisted the arms of some of my colleagues so you get:(a) a different voice
(b) some different books
Here's what Sally from the Warkworth Library thought about Yes Man by Danny Wallace.
You may have seen the movie – but the book, as usual, is better. In Yes Man, Danny Wallace tells the story of how one little word changed his life.
A mystery man on a bus told him to ‘Say yes more.’ Danny took these words to heart and started saying yes – to everything. He said yes to spam, yes to adverts, yes to his friends, to strangers. Yes won him ₤25,000 (although he lost it again 10 minutes later), it took him to Holland, to Australia, and got him the girl.
The book is genuine laugh-out-loud material, light hearted and off-beat. The movie is very loosely based on the book, but the things that happen to Danny are at least as ridiculous, and all the more wonderful for being true.
Other books by Danny Wallace held by Rodney Libraries: Join Me (one man accidentally starts a cult) and Friends Like These (or how far would you go to get the old gang back together).
