One of the all-time best
I have read a lot of books, but this was by far one of the best ever. This book was nothing short of amazing. It's the kind of book that stays with you - I still revisit it in my mind. I have not stopped telling people about it since I read it... When it first came out!! It's a near-perfect read. And for lovers of nonfiction, this book reads like a remarkable, moving true story.

This book is very short, maybe 80 pages or so, but it is not an easy read. You need to take your time to really absorb it. It was disjointed at times, but it is a very interesting and enjoyable read, although there are a few pretty graphic part. It follows two story lines, and brings up interesting themes regarding music, control, the relationships between men and women, and on a broader scale, between different countries. It is very poetic and very well written.

A disappointing finale...
A disappointing ending to an otherwise faultless franchise.

The gameplay is as fun as all the other games, but the game is very short with only 7 chapters compared to the usual 20-something of the previous installments, and the storyline is far from memorable...to the point I can't remember what the point of the game was.

Most likely a rushed cash grab, or a rushed final game to possibly fulfil a five-game Uncharted contract.

This is a very short piece of creative writing. And when o first read it, mi initial thought was "eh?". Which is why I never review straight away. After having a few days to ponder it, I realise the depths of interpretation is has. What the messengers represent to the different characters and how these representations have a massive affect on their actions and thus leading to the final part of the story. It was beautifully written, but allow it sink in before you make a judgement!

What an amazing short read. This story is about a man that saves an underwater race from being devoured by a sea serpent. So much happens in just 50 pages. There is mystery, love and adventure. A cruel king, a downtrodden boy with rights to the throne, magic shells, mystical storms and a ships captain who believes in myths and legends. I haven't done my research yet because I was so excited to let you know how amazing this read was, but I hope there's a sequel.

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.
