Reviews

  • Praise for Who is Tom Ditto? - a high concept love story with a mystery at its heart:

    An air of mystery and of a past being reconstructed, with a booster shot of comedy…As you would expect from the author of Awkward Situations for Men, the toe-curling embarrassment of much of Tom’s life is well realised

    OBSERVER

  • Who is Tom Ditto? is Danny Wallace at his very best: funny, assured and relentlessly clever. A brilliant novel

    John Niven

  • It’s funny, witty, clever, good-natured – one of those purely enjoyable books you pick up with pleasure and put down with regret. It won’t change your life, but it will brighten it up for a while.

    INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY

  • Danny Wallace’s beguiling second novel seduces the reader by stealth with some laugh-out-loud throwaway pieces of astute observational comedy…Wallace probes real issues about what makes us who we are in the internet age. It’s the kind of book you have to ration to avoid it being over too quickly

    Daily Mail

  • This is a terrific novel…The plot is wild and unexpected, with a dash of sinister, and it’s incredibly funny

    The Times

  • This mystery, written by TV funny man Danny Wallace, will leave you completely mesmerised

    NOW

  • Danny is as hilarious as ever

    Shortlist

  • Wallace has scored another hit with this quirky novel…Packed full of gags, this is also a tender and touching story
