A black student is murdered by racist scumbags for daring to go out with one of their ex girlfriends. The arrival of "black rain" the very next night that turns the people it wets into crazed killers seems to be too much of a coincidence. The reader follows several groups of people as they struggle to survive the carnage. My thoughts throughout were that One Rainy Night is a run of the mill Laymon tale, nothing more, nothing less. Nothing awe inspiring, but a fast-paced, easy and enjoyable read.
Amy Tan is one of those authors i have a love/hate relationship with. Joy Luck and Bonesetters are two of my favorites ever. Secret Senses and Kitchen God are the other extreme. This one falls squarely in the middle - i neither really loved it or hated it. It was OK. I listened to this on audio - and parts of it i really wished i could have skimmed instead of hearing each word. I grew tired of some of the characters, unable to generate any reason to like them. the premise of the story was interesting though and i did enjoy the commentary on the media and government during the rescue of the 11.
