Why I like Nineteen Minutes, because it looks inside the minds of school shooters and why they do it. My favorite chapter is all of them, once you start reading, you wont want to put it down.
The type of book is Mystery, Thrillers, Psychology, its like all of those things rolled into one.
I learned why some people go off the deep end and start shooting people..and the one reason I got is because they would bullied in school. Some people can only take so much, then they are going to snap.
I found about this book, because a friend of mine had to read it for one of her classes at ISU, so I thought why not..so I bought a copy and read with her. She used me as a sounding board for some of her ideas.
Well, depends on what type of reader you are. I, myself, like mystery novels or book.
Another book that I used for a research paper was "Give a Boy a Gun." its about another school shooting and why they did.

Jodi Picoult's books were recommended to be about 6 months ago and since then I've read most of her books. I'm now reading "Keeping Faith". I love her stuff! This book is very well written. It puts a lot of light on bullying and how the victims feel.

Storyline

Jodi Picoult, bestselling author of My Sister's Keeper and The Tenth Circle, pens her most riveting book yet, with a startling and poignant story about the devastating aftermath of a small-town tragedy.

Sterling is an ordinary New Hampshire town where nothing ever happens--until the day its complacency is shattered by a school shooting. Josie Cormier, the daughter of the judge sitting on the case, should be the state's best witness, but she can't remember what happened before her very own eyes--or can she? As the trial progresses, fault lines between the high school and the adult community begin to show--destroying the closest of friendships and families. Nineteen Minutes asks what it means to be different in our society, who has the right to judge someone else, and whether anyone is ever really who they seem to be.
