I love Tom Hank’s various films, so I had honestly hoped that I would love his short story anthology as well. Honestly, I hated it. There wasn’t anything wrong with the writing style, but it was so dull! It took me months to get through this collection because I genuinely felt disappointed every time I picked it up. I originally thought the idea of a bunch of short stories that were all connected by typewriters (s) was interesting, but that was about as far as my interest made it. I can’t say I’d recommend this one to anyone; I honestly wish I could have the time I spent reading it back so I could use it to read something else.
