Today’s Booking Through Thursday question asks:
Name a book or author that you truly wanted to love but left you disappointed. (And, of course, explain why.)
One book that I recently read left me quite disappointed, One Amazing Thing by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni. Maybe it was the title that left me wanting more from this book, but I felt that something was missing. To see more of my thoughts, see my review.
What about you?
Great answer! I loved your review as well, it was great. Disappointing this one wasn't so good as it seemed to have a lot of potential.x
Have not heard of this author and will now not even think to read any of the books.

I just read your review. I totally understand. I hate when that happens in a book. I talk about a book that I read recently that takes me out of the story instead of sucking me in.
Here is my Booking Through Thursday.
I have never heard of One Amazing Thing. So will not be reading it anytime soon.
Your disappointment in this book and mine are very similar!
Here's my response to the question:

I had never heard of this book so I read your review and read the excerpts from it, this is not the kind of book that would attract me in the first place unless it got rave reviews and I it has not. Thanks for your thoughts on this.
Interesting answer. I've never heard of this book.
Everyone tells me that I would love Patricia Cornwell — but i find her writing style to be absolutely bland. There are way better authors out there in the genre.
Who knows, maybe she's gotten better, but i have no urge to purchase her books.
