Synopsis

'Will have you in stitches' The Irish Times

'He's almost certainly not the hero you ordered, but he's the hero we need right now' Dave Gorman

'I nearly stopped breathing twice as I was laughing so much. Glorious." Dom Joly

'Probably the funniest thing I've read this year' Rufus Hound

Get ready for the online adventures of one man who just wants to make friends

And one very annoyed world

Based on the ingenious Sir Michael Twitter account, How to (Almost) Make Friends on the Internet is the funniest book you'll read this year.

Whether it's offering his services as a Karate Lawyer or Funeral DJ, devising the world's worst plan to get a free haircut, or trying to buy a blue bucket that may or may not be for sale, Michael just wants to connect with people.

The only problem is that people are slightly less enthusiastic about connecting with him and the results are utterly hilarious.

Warning: you'll never think about adding someone called Michael to a group chat the same way ever again.

'Finally, someone has worked out a good use for social media and it's brilliantly, painfully funny' Iain Morris, Co-creator of The Inbetweeners

'Michael is the funniest human on the internet, bar none. Read his book, you cowards' James Felton, author of 52 Times Britain was a Bellend

If you follow the twitter page (likely if you're reading the book!), rest assured that the book is ~95% new material - a very quick read, but with lots of laughs along the way.......more

Goodreads review by Noah

I loved this hilarious collection of interactions between Michael Cunningham and the world. Each bit in this book is a sort of prank pulled by Cunningham on an unsuspecting mark. Many of the bits begin with Cunningham putting up a flyer offering some free service (painting a family portrait, or lawn......more

Goodreads review by Mehsi

I had had my eye on this book for a while and finally I could read it! This was quite fun! Though I am guessing this is all not true? Right? Because seriously? If he is truly acting like this? NOPE. Sure, it was funny, but if someone was doing this to me? I wouldn't be laughing. I would probably be......more
