1: Brilliant!!
I read this book maybe three years ago, and I try to keep this book in the back of my head as often as I can think about it. Saying yes as often as you can is a great thing to keep in mind. This book was quite funny throughout, and I felt that the author was quite humble and subtle with his use of humor. This made the book even better. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for humor and inspiration as these two things can be hard to come by together. Thank you, Danny Wallace, for telling everyone about your experiences in such a brilliant way! I'll be reading this book again and again for years to come!

especially when he says yes when it's a big no situation
he gets himself in strange and hilarious situations,
goes to places and meets people he would never had met

3: Scary, Inspiring and Downright Funny!
If you don't laugh while reading this book, you probably don't have a pulse. It's that simple. 'Yes Man' is Danny Wallace's journey through the pitfalls of forcing himself -for a short while- to say yes to every single opportunity that presented itself. The book is a description of his personal experiences during this undertaking, and it could not be more scary, inspiring, and downright funny.
Think for two seconds about what your life would be like if you answered every single question asked of you with a Yes! and acted upon it. That will give you an idea of what the experience of this book is about. An absolutely brilliant must read!

4: Why do you want to read sugar?
I can't believe this book got all the hype it's gotten so far. I can put this book and I did in fact put the book down many times. I didn't want to go on because I wasn't enjoying the experience.
Right now I keep picking the book up hoping that it will get better. It won't or rather, I hope it will because I want it to. I like the idea of the book but this guy makes me want to puke. It's too sugary. It's like eating three pounds of gummy bears. You think it feel so good but when it's sitting your stomach you know it's gotta come out somewhere, somehow, someway.
This guy is too nice and too all about himself. Many times in the story he makes a claim and doesn't live up to it. There are way too many parts of the story that don't belong, or rather I don't care about. There's no real character to him. Who can just say he won't go into work today because he's saying Yes to things? Doesn't that seem a little... well hypocritical? Shouldn't he continue to go to work and say YES to work? Oh he's a radio producer so he can get away with this? I wish I were a radio producer so I won't have to have to go to work. I'm not. I'm a real person with a real job that I can say yes to.
Is this book fiction or non-fiction? I don't care because either way it's terrible. It's over written if it's indeed real. And if it's fiction then the characters are terribly plain.

5: Really Funny!
I really enjoyed this book. It was extremely funny and I often found myself laughing out loud in the middle of airports waiting for delayed planes, or when we I read the book out loud to my friend we were both sneakering to the point where I would need a minute to compose myself before I was able to go on reading.
Danny Wallace is an excellent storyteller not only did I laugh but his experience made me want to actually say yes more even if I didn't win large sums of money or got a promotion.
