 wow October 15, 2008
i ended up reading this shortly after a school shooting had just taken place. the compassion that picoult takes when fleshing out the characters and never telling you what is right and wrong, but instead letting you decide for yourself is one of my favorite trademarks of a picoult book.
absolutely rivieted October 13, 2008
Ok this was ripped from the headlines. (Columbine etc and other like incidents) The book really got behind the students reasoning of why he did what he did. The writer covered POVs from the judge involved his friends and his parents --I loved the rich characters in the story. I don't at all condone what was done and the # of innocent lives affected but I got to see things from the killers Pov what would lead him to do this. Interesting twist at the end.
Brilliant Book October 6, 2008
This was the first book i've read by jodi Picoult and i loved it! The setting is in New Hampshire, where i have traveled to. I was familiar with the atmosphere so i could easily place the imagery in my head.
At first i was a little worried that i wouldn't be able to understand all of the law terms, but i was carefully explained. I, too, liked the idea of using flashbacks, it helped me understand the character but showing how they might have reacted in certain situations. Also, if you were insightful, you can pick out little details and analyze them to help fit into the "present".
Each character was well thought-out, and very intracate with a detailed backround, so it wasn't necessarily easy to figure out their role in the murder.
I like how Josie was kind of a recluse all through the trail, and she has to sort through her own issues. You probably won't understand them until you reach the end, but it definitely shows how people reacted the way they did or how they recovered to certain injuries...
Peter, on the other hand, frustrated me throughout the whole book. I just want to know WHY?, he never directly states it, though. His past experiences make him who he is and why he caused this epidemic and broke many people in more ways than just one.
Before i finished the book, i found out that Jodi P. likes to add an unexpected endings, so when i was near the end i started plotting crazy ideas and scenerios that would eventually pan out. I think i had two major ideas in my mind and one of them i instantly was able to cross out. The other, well, i can say it somewhat came to fruition, but, you'll have to read this book to figure it out!
Happy Reading :-D

Love it! October 1, 2008
I've known Jodi Picoult since i read "The sister's keeper". So I've become a fan of her.
Be honest, I'm reading this book "Nineteen minutes", not finished but I couldn't put down this book. It makes me shocking when I'm reading, maybe it tells us it's a true story, would be happen in some countries also, and in fact some couples are ready to be parents, i think must read this book first. Maybe learn more from this book. Your kids are "YOU".
Comment of this book: Must own! Must read! Excellent!
 Love PICOULT September 25, 2008
But this isn't one of her best books. This company has great values, though...and the condition of even the used books is great.
