Knowing a few things about the author, I chose this book to see if Hanks could also write. I read the first 4 stories and can confirm, yes, he can write in the sense of being able to put down coherent sentences and with good grammar and spelling. But I had no incentive to care about the characters or sense a plot that I wanted to see concluded. Maybe I am ignorant/naive as a reader and that applies only to novels. My world-view is moralistic and eternal and I was put-off by the overall self-centeredness of the characters. That's very subjective and other readers may enjoy these stories much more.
