Nineteen Minutes



Picoult is famed for writing about controversial subjects which cause the reader to battle with their emotions with each page and this novel is no exception.  This novel explores the effects on a small town of a shooting in the high school.  The pervading question throughout is who is really responsible for this tragedy? 

As Picoult tries to give some sort of an answer to this question, the reader is introduced to a variety of unique individuals and a plot filled with twists and turns which demonstrates the complicated links between family and friends in the community.  

Excellent character development and thorough research combine together to make this book impossible to put down.  A must read.
