Listen to his audiobook! His narration is superb (0 more)
Listen just for Tom Hanks' mellifluous voice
Tom Hanks turns out to be as authentically genuine a writer as can be. The stories in this book range from the hilarious to the deeply touching.

They move in period, location, and manner, but all demonstrate a joy in writing, a pleasure in communicating an intensely American sense of atmosphere, friendship, life and family that is every bit as smart and engaging as the man himself.

While the stories are witty, it is more so because of the man himself. They may not be Pulitzer material, but it truly is a pleasure to read his book while thinking about this imaginative man.

Utterly charmless and boring
This film may have been more engaging if they'd had the likes of Hugh Grant as the leading man. As it was, Crowe is charmless, unfunny and boring throughout. I really didn't care what happened to him, whether he found love with the hapless damsel who he runs off the road without even knowing or whether he could force himself to leave the chateau after falling back in love with the place. It took me days to watch the film as I was determined to get through it and each day I hoped it would get better. It didn't but eventually I finished it! Hallelujah it was over.

Who knew DC could make a movie like this???
The finally done it. DC made a movie which was engaging, enjoyable and had a solid performance from its lead. Wonder Women has succeeded where man of steel and BvS fell short. The story of Dianna was not to watch, mainly due to the performances from the leads Gal Gadot and Chris Pine. There felt like there was real stakes in this movie which superhero movies sometimes lack. Where the movie falls short is the disposable villain .....it never really feels like Aries was a prominent plot point and was added in. All in all I found wonder women a please surprise.

Epic sci-fi with hints of existential philosophy
Dennis E Taylor hits legend status with We Are Bob, creating an entire universe based on essentially a godlike figure who happens to be a computer with the implanted memories and humanity of an ordinary man named Bob.

The character is hugely witty, intelligent and his former project management position makes the listener question is this how a higher being does it? Creating clones and minions of himself, Bob 1.0 delegates them to saves millions of civilians as earth is no longer a viable planet.

It's claustrophobic, creepy at times but mostly wonderfully engaging and humorous. Prepared to be confused by the various Bobs about.
