About this listen

 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.

The book is a really great idea that's presented in an entertaining and captivating way, and Wallace's reading of it completely does the work justice.

Excellent book, excellent delivery

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.

Abridged version

It's not profound literature, but if you like funny non-fiction stories about adventurous people doing spur of the moment things, you should like this.

Funny, enjoyable easy listen.

I first read Join Me years ago just after I'd discovered the brilliant Yes Man. It remains one of my favourite books and now I have it read to me at my own convenience in the car by Danny himself...life is good!!

Danny Wallace is a genius...

An interesting memoir from Shaun Hastings pre Animus Project. If you are familiar with Dave Gormans earlier work you will find much to enjoy with this.

Makes me want to start my own stupid boy project.

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.
