Nineteen Minutes - Jodi Picoult


This is a definite 'must read'! Such a wonderful book! This book deals with a high school shooting and the author does an fantastic job of reeling in your emotions and causing you to feel like the characters are people you know personally!
I had a hard time putting it down, I wanted to just read and read. I enjoyed how each chapter represented a different time during, before or after the actual shooting.
It's amazing what Jodi Picoult can do with her characters and what you will actually end up feeling for Peter, the gunman.
It will also make you reflect on your own high school experience and status therein. It will make you examine your behaviour to those you were associated with at that time. Read it! You won't be sorry!!
