Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult begins with a list of all the things you can do in nineteen minutes ending with - in Nineteen Minutes you can change your life.
In Nineteen Minutes, Jodi Picoult explores a young man going into his high school on a shooting rampage. She explores the young man's life and the lives of those around him. She also causes us to reflect on how our own expectations for the teenagers in our lives can mix with years of disappointment and torment by their peers to push a young person to desire relief through such an extreme action.
All is not what it seems and I found myself haunted by this book, so much so that more than a year after reading it, I am writing this review.
I like to read books that make me think, challenge my perceptions and stay with me. This book gets high marks in all these areas.
Review
An easy book to get through but leaves an impression. Enjoyable
