Danny Wallace was bored. Just to see what would happen, he placed a whimsical ad in a local London paper. It said, simply, 'Join Me'. Within a month, he was receiving letters and emails from teachers, mechanics, sales reps, vicars, schoolchildren and pensioners - all pledging allegiance to his cause. But no one knew what his cause was. Soon he was proclaimed Leader. Increasingly obsessed and possibly power-crazed Danny risked losing his sanity and his loyal girlfriend. But who could deny the attraction of a global following of devoted joinees?

A book about dreams, ambition and the responsibility that comes with power, Join Me is the true story of a man who created a cult by accident, and is proof that whilst some men were born to lead, others really haven't got a clue.

Critic reviews

One of the funniest stories you will ever read
The hilarious true story of a bunch of strangers being swept up in a bored man's experiment
Hugely funny.
Join Me is the kind of book I love: effortlessly funny, painfully accurate and entertaining to the very end. Brilliant. (Mike Gayle)

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Really made me laugh.

Any additional comments?

I really wish that it was the unabridged version, which I read several years ago and loved and missed some of the stand out stories from that for a fuller overall experience. But still brilliant fun and Danny gives an excellent and hilarious performance as always.

Love that it was read by the author

Danny did a great job narrating this wonderful story. It does miss out some fun parts from the book though- his visit to Gareth, his trip to Holland, his holiday etc. It's not a full version of the book.
