Wekk 36 Book 66 : Uncommon Type

 

Like Tom Hanks himself, these stories are gentle, well crafted, oozing in talent and amazingly accessible. Which is a bit of a problem, because there is no threat here. The tension is mild, even when one character meets his end, it's only grisly if you think about it, otherwise it's wistful.

Still great writing though,  the kind of book you'd enjoy in a hammock, on the beach or in the bath. Maybe not all at the same time though.
