From Booklist:
One day, not too long ago, the author, a journalist and television producer, placed an ad in a small London newspaper. "Join Me!" it said, and asked people to send him a photograph. That was it, pretty much: no explanation of what people you would be joining. It was an odd thing to do, but what is even odder is that people responded. Just a couple, at first, but when Wallace took his Join Me! campaign to the Internet, the trickle became a flood. Soon he had become something of a celebrity, and his--well, what was it? A commune? Cult? Collective?--project grew until it was an international phenomenon, and he had hundreds of people doing his bidding. Go forth, he bade them, and do good things. Random acts of kindness. This is the story of a bright young man who, without any real plan in mind, gathered a following that spanned the globe and who discovered it really is possible to make the world a little bit nicer. It's funny, educational, and, yes, more than a little bizarre. Lots of fun. David Pitt
