In my AP english class we were asked to read a book from a list given to us by the teacher. I chose Nineteen Minutes (clearly) and my initial thoughts were, “This is going to take WAY too long to read.” I was Partially right. It was a really long book but I thought that had it been shortened it wouldn’t be as good. And seriously this book was awesome. After this I really want to read “The Pact”, mainly because Jordan McAfee was an awesome character so I’d like to read another book with him. I seriously would recommend Nineteen Minutes to anyone asking for a good book. Jodi Picoult has perfect delivery. Definately a two thumbs up!

in My sister’s keeper, Anna died in car accident for goodness sake, i don’t see how much more fantastic yet suprising that could be?! If you believe it should have better, you should write your own ending to it, and see how hard it is!!

This book was a fantastic read, i couldn’t get enough of it. It was roping me in further and further as i read on and was a brilliant topic of how bullying can cause such catastrophic events. I would recomend it to anybody.

This book is an amazing book & it really helped friends and family in the roccori school district. This was one of the hardest times ever! This book was something that really showed a lot about life. So thank you Jodi for making this book and helping students see the other side of things.

maybe jodi picoult was thinking of a possible movie. but the way peter’s short anecdotes of sorts are noted sometimes right at the beginning….its chilling how desolate and desperate loneliness can be…and yeah “we need to talk about kevin” by lionel shriver is a nicely written book too,in some ways more commendable than this one, but jodi picoult remains my favourite in this new “genre” of fiction.

I really enjoyed reading this book, but I did not think it contained the depth of my Sister’s Keeper (which I definitely recommend). Also, just like in My Sister’s Keeper, I was disappointed with the ending. It seemed to me that Ms. Picoult took the easy way out, didn’t embellish on her new twist enough, and had nothing substantial to lead to her bold new statement.

i couldn’t agree more.
after reading my sister’s keeper, i was looking forward to reading picoult’s other books, and so, it had to be this one. it wasn’t bad, but it certainly would not have made the impression as her other books have had.

on the other hand, her unexpected twists are still present.

As I read “Nineteen Minutes”, another troubled soul ruined lives at VTU. I’m sure that influenced me to tell everyone I knew to read this book, and, if anyone didn’t like it, I would buy any book of his or her choosing.
A comment on the review: Peter was picked on and otherwise bullied on his first day on the bus, and this treatment continued and increased throughout public school, culminating in, not beginning with, high school.
I feel the book is the story of Judge Alex Cormier, and any complaints on character developmen miss this point. The title obviously refers to “the shootings”, but the real story is about Alex, and her daughter. Any other reading simply parses the obvious.
