[quote=Anonymous]I enjoyed listening to Tom Hanks reading the book. I forget what a great actor he is. But I probably will not read anymore of Ann Pachett's books. This story had major holes. The dad was an ass, leaving everything to the stepmom. Then why did dad try to teach the son (Danny) the family business? For example, takes young Danny with him to collect the monthly rent. It did not make sense that there was no succession plan for Danny. Just a trust fund for college tuition. The ending was fixed with a wave of a magic wand. Sewn up nicely with Danny's daughter becoming a mega-successful actress and buying back the Dutch House. I read Tom Lake before The Dutch House. The world of acting and actors seem to be a recurring theme. I have no interest in that world. Of course, her other book, Bel Canto was made into an Opera. [/quote]
