One Amazing Thing Audiobook

" 4.5-I really liked this book .It is the second that I have read by this author and I enjoy her writing style .She is gifted story teller.It is tale of nine people stranded after an earthquake In order to keep their fear at bay,they each tell a story or one amazing thing from their lives.I found it captivating.I highly recommend it. "

" quite a disappoinment from the great author whom I usually adore "

" Great story! An earthquake out of nowhere - when the stress of being trapped threatens to overwhelm them, a student suggest that each tell a tale! "

" Not my cuppa. "

" I really liked this book right up until the ending where it left me hanging. I feel like this book has only a beginning and a middle, and then the author gave up. I keep thinking "oh, I still need to finish my book..." and it kind of ruined it. "

" Not so amazing.. "

" I usually love Divakaruni's writing, but this one was predictable and hokey in a way... "

" Although this book is easy to read, and entertaining, it fails to deliver on the premise of its title. "

" I do enjoyed the earthquake stories but i dont knw enjoyed the individual life stories as its was boring. Not bad. "

" I liked the storyline, however I hated the ending. I would have loved some closure. "

" A quick & very good read. "

" I understand why the author wrote the book and developed the characters why she did. It just didn't work for me. "

" think the author copied a lot Bel Canto...just leaving me one question though, what is my One Amazing Thing? "

" I heard the author speak at "RichardsonReads One Book" and loved her. The book is very thought provoking. "

" People trapped by an earthquake share their life stories. "

" A page turner with heart. A group of strangers are trapped together when an earthquake strikes, and to keep their minds off their troubles, they each tell a story from their lives. A lovely nod to Chaucer, well done and evocative. "

" This was a great book! The ending left me wanting more though! "

" a book about a lot of unhappy, disatisfied people, will make for a good discussion. Not my favourite book, but a quick read. "

" Enjoyed reading the stories of the characters, though I did feel that some of the stories seemed unresolved, and the ending was very unsatisfying and abrupt for my taste. "

" The author took a premise that could have been trite and used it to explore the deepest thoughts of a disparate group of people. I thought the ending was subtle and elegant. "

" I was very disappointed in the ending. Loved everything else. The author did a great job bringing all the charecters together and drawing us in on their backgrounds. "

" Couldn't put it down. The characters and the tension are well developed. "

" Your typical "caught in a possible death situation, everyone tells a story about their life" book, but very readable. Could use a better ending. "

" A nice book. Would have liked a less ambiguous ending. "

" loved the stories in the story... the end of this book pisses me off...i wanted it to develop more. "

" It's just a good book to pass the time. I rated it 3 stars because at the time I did have some mild sociological revelation, but I can't remember what it was anymore. Quick read. "

" I had a problem with reading about 9 characters' stories within a 200 page book, perhaps, it is that there are so many left out details. I did not "feel" the characters' voices as much as I would have liked. "
