kerrymc 's review for:

The Dutch House by Ann Patchett
4.0

I am an Ann Patchett fan, and this was definitely one of my favorites. I love these deep character/family studies and the way the characters and their stories were slowly revealed.

I read (library) and did the audiobook ...found myself really falling for the voice of Tom Hanks as the narrator, Danny. It took me longer to get through as I ended up mostly listening instead of reading. Hanks did not just narrate, he WAS the character of the narrator. (my only minor quibble was the way Hanks would try to add different inflections when he read out the the Chapter Numbers....I did not understand what that was all about and it seemed distracting to me).

4.5 stars...was a little slow to get going but I really did not mind.
