It has a great premise - for one year, Danny Wallace will say yes. To everyone. To everything. No matter the offer, he'll agree to it.
Wallace is a good writer, and he knows how to tell a good story. With a set up like this one, I expected something fantastic, and he was on his way. Unfortunately, he met the girl of his dreams and things began to go downhill. (For the book, and for me as a reader. I'm sure it was great for Wallace.)
He still produced a very funny book, but he fell short of my expectations, and so he only gets a 3. Sorry Danny!

Danny Wallace goes for a year without saying no. To anything. He’s ridiculous, and his bumbling creates a nice sense of schadenfreunde.
I bought this second hand as i liked the sound of the film and thought it'd read it before watching it. Unfortunately it was just too silly to read. I did enjoy bits of it but I couldn't take it at all seriously so have given up on it. Maybe thats the problem, its not supposed to be taken seriously?
Loved this book! Danny describes the experiences and feelings so perfectly about his new YES goals in a humorous yet touching way. I was laughing out loud while reading this one.
