By Jodi Picoult. Its an amazing book about a high school kid who is tired of being bullied and decides to do something about it and shoots 10 kids and a teacher. After the Virginia Tech Massacre, i read up on famous high school shootings like Columbine, this book is eerily close to the Columbine events. There are a lot of differences, in Columbine, there were 2 kids who turned killers and in Nineteen Minutes there is just one sad child.
The book explores the thoughts and struggles of the parents and the children whose lives where never the same after the nineteen minutes of shooting in the schoo. Picoult in her usual style makes you want to read the book in one sitting.
Because it deals with such a sensitive scenario, i found this book amazing and unputdownable!
