Let me start by saying that I am a massive fan of Danny Wallace's writing. I have read two of his other books (yes man, friends like these, and I find the prose funny and well observed.
This is his first novel, and I did enjoy it. There were some laugh out loud moments that caused me to share my skinny latte with my fellow Southern Railwayites. But as has been mentioned by other reviewers, the protagonist does annoy after a bit, and the plot goes a little wayward in the middle.
An enjoyable comedy about London, and Londoners, but not as good as the non fiction.
Cute, very High fidelity like, with a bit of a loser as the main character who pursues a girl he met accidentally (through a forgotten disposable camera and its photos) throughout the story. I did read out loud occasionally, and Jason (the aforementioned loser) growns on you, even if it's not going to become one of my fave books ever.
