Uncommon Type by Tom Hanks Book Summary

A collection of seventeen wonderful short stories showing that the legendary Tom Hanks is as talented a writer as he is an actor.

“Reading Tom Hanks's Uncommon Type is like finding out that Alice Munro is also the greatest actress of our time.” —Ann Patchett, bestselling, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Dutch House

A gentle Eastern European immigrant arrives in New York City after his family and his life have been torn apart by his country's civil war. A man who loves to bowl rolls a perfect game--and then another and then another and then many more in a row until he winds up ESPN's newest celebrity, and he must decide if the combination of perfection and celebrity has ruined the thing he loves. An eccentric billionaire and his faithful executive assistant venture into America looking for acquisitions and discover a down and out motel, romance, and a bit of real life.

These are just some of the tales Tom Hanks tells in this first collection of his short stories. They are surprising, intelligent, heartwarming, and, for the millions and millions of Tom Hanks fans, an absolute must-have!

Nothing Short of Perfection. Each story takes a breath of fresh air and comes alive page after page. He has a way of story telling that is so sincere and admirable. I just finished, but will for sure read another 11 times. Or 12.

Hanx!. What an amazing yarn. Loved every moment of it. Bravo!

Loooovvvvvved it. Instantly drew me in. I love this book and I’m excited for future works

Love this book!!!. These stories are amazing and beautifully written! How can this man be so talented?! Some will put a smile on your face, some will make you life, and some will make you get in touch with your emotions. A must read

Just okay.... I wanted to love this book. Instead, I merely liked it. Even that was a stretch at times. It’s a collection of short fiction stories. Some are better than others. Some are really good. Others really not. In the end many of the stories felt like they were over just as they were getting interesting, which is sad as the ones that were getting interesting were getting very interesting. I enjoyed how Hanks tried to incorporate the typewriter, something he is famous for enjoying so much, into his stories, without overdoing it. Sure, at times it felt a little forced, but it was an interesting common thread spread throughout stories that don’t have any real commonality between them. If you’re a fan of Tom Hanks, you’ll want to pick this up. It shows his abilities are not limited to just acting. Which is enough. His writing style shows he is multi-talented and a decent writer, I just wish the stories didn’t feel cut off at the knees.

It grew on me but ultimately just ok.. Nothing wrong with these stories, but honestly I don’t think that they would have been published if they weren’t written by Tom Hanks. He has a nice sense of character development but ultimately an average collection of average short stories.
