Wallace next wrote a short book called Random Acts of Kindness: 365 Ways To Make the World A Better Place, with the help of submissions from Joinees. It includes many humorous Random Acts of Kindness (RAoK) ideas, such as "Contradict Demeaning Graffiti", and "Make An Old Man Very Happy." I’ve enjoyed everything of Danny Wallace’s that I’ve read, and given that I’ve read quite a few of his books, that’s quite the accolade. He just has an easy way with words that makes his stuff enjoyable, whether you’re reading children’s books, adult fiction or the non-fiction that helped to launch his career. What a fun little book. I thoroughly enjoyed the newspaper clippings at the beginning and end of the story, they had me laughing out loud. The thought stayed with me, though. Imagine if the world really did stop sometimes. And imagine if you were the only person who could walk around in it when it did.

What would YOU do… if the whole world just stopped? Yes the WHOLE WORLD. Birds in the air. Planes in the sky. And every single person on the planet – except you! Because that’s what keeps happening to ten-year-old Hamish Ellerby. And it’s being caused by The WorldStoppers and their terrifying friends The Terribles! They have a PLAN! They want to take our world for their own . . . Oh, and they hate children. Especially if you’re a child who knows about them. Hang on – You know now, don’t you? Oh dear. Can Hamish save us from the WorldStoppers? Only time will tell! Hamish and the Worldstoppers (Hamish and the PDF, #1) by Danny Wallace – eBook Details La narración corre a cargo de Hamish, quien en primera persona nos cuenta su vida y la de otros personajes secundarios que lo ayudan a llevar la historia. Aparte de Hamish, los Pausófilos -como se hacen llamar- es un grupo de niños que igual se mantienen despiertos durante las pausas. Son importantes en la historia, en especial Alice, quien ayuda a Hamish a encontrar a más niños para su causa. Personalmente me gustó Clover, una niña que usa disfraces para esconderse. En fin, hay una gran variedad de personajes que hacen de esta historia algo único. Hamish Ellerby vive en el cuarto pueblo más aburrido de Inglaterra. Un lugar donde no sucede nada y los encabezados del periódico van desde "El reloj sigue adelantado" hasta "Un hombre salió del pueblo... seguro volverá" ¡Nunca sucedía nada! The first thing to say here is that even though this book is written for children, I still thought that there was a lot there for me to enjoy as an adult. Part of that is probably due to the fact that I’m a Danny Wallace fan and find that he’s generally pretty funny whether he’s writing for kids or adults. In fact, he does what a lot of writers don’t manage to do by writing for children without speaking down to them.
