Engaging, Feel-good Read

What a fun book! Lovable Tom Hanks delivers several entertaining stories in his quintessential jovial manner. Reading Mr. Hanks' fictional works takes you on a truly enjoyable ride through his quirky (or should I say QWERTY) imagination. Hope this is not the last that we are reading from author, actor and all-round great guy, Tom Hanks.

Loved having variety

I really enjoyed these! Some of them I even wanted more from!

Great!

The cover of the book was different and a little dirty but easy to clean. This collection of short stories is great and got me out of a reading slump!
