CUSTOMER REVIEW:
Great Movie
This movie is just superb. The story is great, acting is great, and the historical accuracy is perfect. I loved the attention to detail that went into this movie. Definitely a must see even if you're not a space or NASA buff.

Tom Hanks: The Unauthorized Biography
By: David Gardner
List Price: $29.99
Amazon Price: $12.50

CUSTOMER REVIEW:
incomplete but good read
David Gardner can write, and he does express the anguish in Hanks' life and the good times well - he misses out some of the extra-film things Hanks does - not only his choices of charity work, but his comic work on Saturday Night Live which should fill out the career of this rounded entertainer - he leaves out earlier films that i discovered elsewhere. so, if he is marking out the territory to be the only biographer who knows it all, he should include more of the career. (Why did he and first wife adopt when they had a son already? what is it about Hanks and his wife that lead them to do this? but none of that is mentioned.) Maybe he was blocked, but he has not been a good journalist in doing what is essentially a cut-and-paste job that is very selective. Hanks' brilliance as an entertainer is of a particular American brand, and, here i am, an American based in Europe, and I'd like to have read about that a little. so, this is disappointing finally.

What the author of the book "Odysseus's Ithaca: The Discovery" has done.

"I explained the simple meaning of Homer's words, his primitive but correct orientation, connected the relevant episodes and the main story in the "Odyssey" and have located Ithaca- homeland of Odysseus towards the poet's description on the one of the most enchanting and interesting places on earth.
