Such a multi-talented man
Tom Hanks is probably my favourite actor. I don't think he's ever been in a film that I haven't liked. So for me this book of short stories was a bit of a worry as id hate for it not to be as good as his acting.

Fortunately however, these stories prove that Hanks can write as well as he can act. The stories are very short, but detailed and witty and for the most part very interesting. Not a lot tends to happen in these stories, they seem to be more of a "day in the life of" but this isn't a bad thing because they're so well written that you still find the stories to be very entertaining. The only parts of this book I didn't like were the short columns from Hank Fiset, which to me seemed a little out of place and not as well written as the rest of the books.

This really proves Hanks is a good author and I'd love for him to write a full novel. Something like the story about regression would make a great novel.

The Channel is a collection of short fictional stories, some with a touch of paranormal. Some will make you cry, some will make you think, and some will make you smile. Susan is a wonderful storyteller with a talent for leaving her readers with questions and possibilities in their minds but ending the stories with a satisfying close.

This is a collection of short stories - I did think it was just one story! The Christmas at cold Comfort Farm story is set pre-flora Poste, but was still probably the best story in the collection. worth a read.

You absolutely do need to read this before starting the series. I loved the short stories and their nods to classic fairy tales. The author did an amazing job adding his own twists to everything. (0 more)

Brilliant story
The lovely tale of working together all in one easy to read before bed package. Beautiful illustrated and well adapted into the animated short, if you do bedtime stories, this is a must.
