Tom Hanks is a wonderful actor, I'm sure his voice added a lot to the book's enjoyment. - MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-12766146788007637172020-09-02T10:40:40.056-04:002020-09-02T10:40:40.056-04:00Sounds interesting.

And I will say this, I once listened to Steve Martin read one of the books he has written and while I remember nothing about the story or even what the book was, his reading of it kept me in it. It could be a whole new career for him. Sounds like it could be for Tom Hanks as well. <br /><br />Thanks for reviewing.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07820350511791595345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-34813031846048478692020-09-02T09:59:21.075-04:002020-09-02T09:59:21.075-04:00I need to read that.

A good narrator really affects the experience. I wonder if Tom Hanks has narrated other books. I like Bel Canto, but haven't yet read The Dutch House. It's on my list, though, so I was looking forward to your review.

That in itself is appealing about the story. And it's interesting how we're impacted by the way we experience a story (audio, Kindle, etc..).Margot Kinberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08599589137890528065noreply@blogger.com
