Somebody Told Me

Shocking, timely and - as you’d expect from Danny Wallace - very funny. * Adam Kay *Essential. One of the few books I’ve immediately told my children to read. * Alex Horne, author and comedian *Fascinating, hilarious and touching. Often all at once. * John Niven, bestselling author of O Brother and Kill Your Friends *This is a Danny Wallace book and it is therefore brilliant. He is not capable of writing a dull sentence or a pointless chapter or something that lacks either depth or wit. Certainly if he does any of that in this book, I couldn’t find it. And that’s no lie. * Daniel Finkelstein *Thrilling, thought-provoking, funny and wise. Danny has an incredible knack for taking the bizarre fringes and rabbit holes of humanity and making them compulsively laugh-out-loud readable. * Danny Robins, journalist, presenter of Uncanny and writer of 2:22 A Ghost Story *Danny Wallace lightens this dark topic about lies and propaganda with his trademark humour and gets the balance just right. * BBC, Books to Read in 2024 *
