It's alright. Nothing special, though. It's a bit like being stuck for ever on a train station reading an endless copy of Shortlist... which is a strange experience.
Some of the stories are pretty funny and there's the odd phrase or so that really made me laugh out loud (although I am easily pleased). More often, though, it was a bit like ready an 'amusing situation' that you really had to be there in order to find funny... bit awkward.

Pretty funny - moments of laugh out loud, especially the one liner chapters. Some banal stories but also some laugh out loud ones. The story about calling 118118 to ask for the NHS direct number - brilliant. Had me crying with laughter on the train to work. Still makes me chuckle so that makes it a good joke :)
Funny as ever, but I don't think he'll ever surpass 'Yes Man' for me. Although it's not meant to be read in one go, the title of the next chapter was always too intriguing! I couldn't put it down. I did notice that a lot of the funniest parts came from either his wife or his friend Colin, rather than Danny himself.
Found it very funny and great for dipping in and out of as it made of small chapters. I did regret reading it in public though due to the laughing out loud (not just a discreet chuckle either) making me look like a crazy person.
Not quite as funny as the the first in the series but still amusing. Danny is a man who can completely take the p**s out of himself - which is good!
A good Sunday afternoon read. pretty much filled with nothings, but mildly entertaining.
Gently amusing but disappointing considering the genius of 'Yes Man'.
Danny Wallace never fails to make me laugh out loud.
Hilarious in parts, but not as funny as the first
Typical Danny Wallace. Difficult to put down, not for reading in public if you're easily embarrassed.
Love his column in Shortlist - in fact I usually turn to read that first. I'm pretty sure that a lot of these columns have been recycled in this book though; which makes it less enjoyable for me as a reader, knowing I've already read that anecdote, but for free in a magazine. Towards the end it gets a bit... 'bottom of the barrel,' I'd say.
I'm a fan usually but won't be keeping this one.

Snippets and anecdotes from manchild Wallace. So funny and entertaining.
Read this finally, while on holiday. just as good as the preceding book and so many funny stories that I can relate to happening in my life at one point or another.
broken into individual stories makes it easy to digest and very addictive!

Despite the name it is not just a book for akward men. His sense of humour tends to be witty and a little sarcastic so it may not be everyone's taste but if it is you'll most likely be laughing out loud in public as I was.
Another fun collection of essays from one of my favorite authors - Danny Wallace never disappoints.
Light-reading and very entertaining.
Hilarious! Not just for men.

“Because it is illegal to talk to a stranger on a train, it can sometimes be confusing when someone stands on your foot or hits you with their briefcase and then fails to say sorry. Which is why I have decided to carry an air horn with me at all times, and when someone stands on my foot I will set it off in their face and then go back to reading my paper. I imagine this will make people want to avoid standing on my feet, but if I've paid good money for the air horn, I'll want to use it, so I'll wear massive clown-shoes while travelling. I'll also wear a red nose and a wig.
Essentially, I really want to get into clowning.”

“My wife said to me recently that she hates couples who finish each other's sentences for them. I agreed that it was annoying, but it made me think that perhaps we were missing out on something, so now every time she says anything, I say 'full stop' at the end. I have been doing it for a full week now, and it has really kept the romance alive.”
