An amazing and original tale of how we all may be different, but we are all the same on some level.

This book was easy to get into and difficult to put down. It is easy to see a little bit of yourself in almost every character. Beautifully written.

I like One Amazing Thing. Book clubs should have no problem finding discussion topics. My biggest complaint stems from the fact that the book STOPS rather than ends. I understand the literary technique behind the author's decision - and certainly the stopping point will open the floor to much discussion. Still on a personal level I prefer a more definitive ending when I invest time with characters.

This book inevitably asks the reader to look at their own lives and ask "remember one amazing thing." Then, it answers with "we all have one." This writer is one of my favorites and truly knows the art of weaving a provocative tale. I really enjoyed this book!

the author kept reader interest going by varied group of characters and their stories who never blur into each other. suspenseful earthquake makes us want to know what will happen, but we never know for sure. this is both intriguing as well as slightly annoying!

This is a well written story wihin a story. There are nine people trapped and you do not know if they are going to be rescued or not. Telling stories about one amazing thing in their life is how they are distracting themselves from the world around them. It makes you think what your own amazing story would be. It was a good discussion.
