Has anyone read Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult? I just finished reading it..its really good! Its about a boy who walks into school one day and starts
shooting people. At first i thought it would be really depressing like most of her books but then i got into it and it was really interesting.

I read that one a few weeks ago - it was good! I liked it a lot more that some of her other books. It was interesting to get inside the mind of the shooter,
and read what had happened in his day to day life.

I read it a while ago. I just finished The Pact a few weeks ago. I also read My Sister's Keeper a few years ago. I'm pretty sure that I'm now done
with her books. They're depressing, predictable, and I just don't enjoy them. Oh, and I didn't even finish Tenth Circle. I'm not sure why I
don't like them, they all just rub me the wrong way. Maybe it's because they feel a little contrived? I don't know. I would say that of the ones
I've read, Nineteen Minutes was the best.
But - I can see why people like them. I just figure I've given her three chances, so I'm done. |

I think it's definately one of her better written books. I really liked how she sort of circled around those 19 minutes showing everything that led up to
them and everything that happened after until finally she showed what really happened during. However I disliked the epilogue.

I read this after Eclipse and that made me appreciate how well written and thought out the book is. After a while you kinda get fed up with her formula and the
Grafton county court house...lol.

I loved it. I like Picoult a lot, but I can't read more than 2 of her books in a row. I give myself about a 6 month break inbetween them.

I didn't like the end either. I felt like she didn't know how to end it so she just came up with that quickly.
