Comments on: The Premieres… http://dannywallace.com/2009/02/16/hello-world/ The website of author Danny Wallace.

I know it'll be very different but I'm heading out tomorrow to get the book. The film is very inspiring as I've been living Carl's life for the last 2 years and avoiding everything. Last week said yes to a couple of scary things (new job and agreed to divorce) before I'd even seen the film and my life has already improved for the better. I'm going to say yes to everything for the next week as an experiment to see what will happen. I'll post next week if things take an interesting turn. Danny thanks for the inspiration and don't worry I won't hold it against you if it backfires. Just watched Yes Man and loved it, one of the funniest and enjoyable films I’ve seen in months.

Danny you are a very talented writer - I loved the way the book spun off various threads and then gradually pulled them all together. The bit where you received The Postcard gave me chills (can't explain why here, no room). I saw the film about a year ago with my son, and we both decided to say Yes more which led to some great things. I also just bought the DVD and watched it over (a few times). I like the film and book both, and am a big James Carrey fan, but I definitely prefer the book. Thanks for a great book and you truly deserve your success.

How brilliant is that drawing of you and your little dog on your shoulder. I couldn't stop laughing. I kept reading the book but kept turning back to the page with the drawing and laughing some more. Thank you thank you Dan HI Danny

I had other yes moments which sent me to montreal for a week on a whim, New York to see an old flame...the flame is well and truly out but we ended up at this crazy eastern european klezma punk fusion show which turned into a russian nightclub and well I have said yes to going to the World Cup in South Africa to help a friend make a packet of cash and see Australia play....if you could call it that...and hopefully gain revenge against Italy. Speaking of revenge and the World Cup I am halfway through friends like these. I too was in Germany though had an entirely different world cup experience... And the Berlin final was spent watching it on a big screen on Tel Aviv beach, my home of four years...well not exactly on the beach but i think you understand what I mean, after that fateful penalty against Lucas Neil in Kaiserslautern when the Aussies bowed out in the round of 16's. I guess what I'm trying to say is thanks for being in a similar spot at a similar age and writing about it...as for the future? Who knows maybe I will come to North London and teach you how to varnish a table though you have probably learnt from your previous attempts. Did you not realise that the tradesman was taking you for a ride? Or were you simply playing along in some sort of social experiment Cheers Trainor Hey Danny,

I just this moment finished reading my tattered copy of the Yes man again and it was even better the second time around, if that is even possible. Just wanted to say thanks for the belly laughs and to let you know that every time I drive past a Big prawn, egg, ram, worm, shark etc.. I will be thinking of you and "Lizzie". Atomico Danny! Cheers, Sophie, Melbourne Australia, The Universe. Ola Danny!

Thanks for a great laugh. My daughter gave it to me to bring home to Oz - she's working in London but I think she has joined the Yes brigade - she's always travelling. She booked a $1 flight + taxes then realized she couldn't use it as she was booked to go somewhere else at the same time. Still, it made her happy that she has found a $1 flight.

Holding off the yes man film as it can't be as good as the book. Really enjoyed all your books to date, even the brief, centre of the universe.

I think ill keep reading your books and then givuing them to old poeple when im done. Old poeple like books i think. did you know that the most dangerous animal in the world is the common housefly. Because of their habits of visiting animal waste, they transmit more diseases than any other animal. hmm true indeed. mike becker hey danny,
