I read this collection of stories based on Evelyn's review. "All the characters... were flawed in personality, but were living their lives as if they were not" -- sounds right up my alley. In most of the stories, a character has an experience that forces him or her to suddenly see themselves from another person's point of view.
I think the stories in Thunderstruck would be great to analyze in a writing class, because they are very technically proficient in construction and in tone. All of the elements seem to be there, but for some reason they fail to engage me. The characters don't come alive. I enjoyed the stories as well built narratives but didn't feel them.
