Rating - 8/10
'Sterling is a small, ordinary New Hampshire town where nothing ever happens - until a student enters the local high school with and arsenal of guns and starts shooting, changing the lives of everyone, inside and out.
The daughter of the judge sitting on the case should be the state;s best witness - but with her boyfriend dead and her childhood friend charged with murder, she's struggling to remember what happened in front of her own eyes....
Number one bestselling author Jodi Picoult brings us her hardest-hitting and most involving novel yet. NINETEEN MINUTES asks what it means to be different in our society, who has the right to judge someone else - and whether a person is ever whom they seem to be...'
A very enjoyable read, I thought the characters were very well drawn, especially Peter. I found this an good departure from a couple of Jodi Picoult's books I've read recently which seemed to have very quick & pat endings which stretched the readers belief, this one didn't.
