  "uncommon type" by Carolynr (see profile) 10/25/17

this was also a DNF (did not finish ) for me. His writing was decent, and I did like the first story. and i did find it interesting that he wove a typewriter into every story....you almost don't even notice it unless you are looking for it (and the fact that you are told there is one in every story). But after that first story I really couldn't get interested in the characters or the story itself. So I'm glad there seems to be a lot that like his book. Just didn't do it for me.

I found these stories truly enjoyable. It was really fun to see how Tom Hanks would incorporate typewriters into the narrative. It was also enjoyable to hear Tom Hanks perform the audiobook. The last chapter took on the resemblance of a radio show which was a fun twist.
