**** Nineteen Minutes. Jodi Picoult’s Nineteen Minutes is eye opening story that is full of surprising twists. Peter Houghton seems to be an average teenage boy, but when the other kids bulling goes too far, he enters the school with four loaded guns and murders ten people. Tempers flare as the town tries to figure out who is to blame for the incident. Is it Peter’s fault, his mothers, or perhaps the entire student body of Sterling High? Jodi Picoult takes you back to the past where you sympathize with Peter, then to the future where you sympathize with the victims. Nineteen Minutes is easily the best book I have read in this unit and Jodi Picoult’s best work.

****Nineteen Minutes. Jodi Picoults Nineteen Minutes is a heart wrenching story of a bullied boy that is pushed to the point where he shows up at school with loaded weapons and kills 10 people. Who is to blame? Peter, the boy who was bullied all his life from kindergarten to the point he kills. Or is it the entire student body that bullied perter to the point he killed. Jodi Picoult takes you through peters past, from his used to be best friend "josie", to not having any friends at all. You sympathize for him, but what really did happen that morning at Sterling High? You venture your way through perter's trial to learn that anything can happen, even someone that you wouldnt expect to be apart of the crime really is.Nineteen Minutes was one of the est books that i read in this unit and is one book that everyone should read!
