In awe of this story and Ann’s writing.

Loved Tom Hanks as narrator. A wonderful actor like him is able to bring so much emotion into the words, even if he doesn't do different voices like some of the other great narrators. Also loved the story and was sad when it was done, as…

This could be the kind of book most would like but not me.

Danny is the narrator of this story. I really enjoyed Danny and his relationship w/ sister Maeve plus some of the extended family and their household employees. The Dutch House is also a main character and would be an intriguing home esp…

I listened to the audio book narrated by Tom Hanks. I give Tom 5 start and the book 4.5 stars. The author is very descriptive in her words, so I was able to envision what the Dutch House looked like as well as the characters. There is…

Love Drama? This is for you. Tom Hanks did an AMAZING job on the audio book. Please listen and not read!

I enjoyed this book. It was nice to see how Maeve and Danny kept up with a connection to the house where they grew up, even though they didn't feel welcome in it any longer. Great way to share about forgiveness and the closeness of…

The Dutch House follows the fictionalized account of a brother and sister who grapple with the aftermath of a turbulent childhood and strained parental relationships. I found the prose unassuming but engaging, and the characterizations…

Love this book. Listened to it in audio format , and Tom Hanks made me fall in love with the characters.

What a depressing book. I didn't like any of the major characters in this book. They were all emotionally immature, aloof and focused on themselves and money.

Even though I liked the ending, the story was meh. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I listened to the audiobook and while I appreciate the much adored Tom Hanks, I didn’t think his performance with this book was right. He tried to sound like Ray Porter, which was not the right energy for this book. He sometimes sounded…

I enjoyed this book- interesting in part because I like real estate and am familiar with the setting.

Not our taste. Overly descriptive. Prefer more dialogue. Not completed.

A little too slow for me, but I did enjoy listening to Tom Hanks reading it.

I’m not sure what I was expecting with this. I liked the characters and setting but just felt “what was the point” after finishing it.

There isn’t a Dutch house. It exists only in the imagination. Author chose the title due to the number of letters as it should look good on the title page. The house became a character. There was such a good description of the house and it…

Very interesting, good writing, a change of pace for me.

The Dutch House is a full-circle story of how messy lives can be, yet thriving, peace, and purpose can still be achieved. The codependent relationship of Maeve and Danny was captivating with its lack of boundaries. I find I'm almost…

I'll admit that I checked out this title only because Tom Hanks narrated it; the subject was of less interest to me. However, it turned out to be a fairly good "listen" after all, made all the better because of the multi-talented Mr. Hanks.
