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 an act of violence. 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.

Summary: Nineteen Minutes
Comment: I love this book, it is so very interesting that it is hard to put down!
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Too Depressing
Comment: This book is just too depressing. I liked Plain Truth but this one didn't have anything happy in it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Another Horrible Ending
Comment: I found this book intensely, compulsively readable, couldn't put it down, then found myself feeling cheated once we got to the end and the Picoult twist was revealed. (*SPOILERS*) I have to say, by the end of the novel, I could not stand the character of Josie, and the fact that she for some inexplicable reason shot her boyfriend makes her completely despicable. I'm starting to wonder if Piccoult has a problem with teenage girls-I do note that her interviews state she is the mother of SONS-because she tends to paint all her adolescent female characters as completely unstable, irrational, and manipulative. I've read many of her novels and see this as a trend with her-from THE TENTH CIRCLE to SALEM FALLS to PLAIN TRUTH to THE PACT. Her female characters are so interchangeable they could all be the same person, too, in every book. What is with her demonization of girls? Did some evil girl accuse one of her sons of rape or something? You have to wonder, and I find it interesting that she's categorized as chick lit, her writing is the antithesis of feminist.
Customer Rating:
Summary: a very engaging read on a very tough subject
Comment: This was my first book by Jodi Picoult but had heard about her writing style. The subject matter was an extremely difficult one - and then is revealed through the viewpoint of all of the characters - both those that you are rooting for and even the "villains," for whom you end up somehow feeling great sympathy. Very well done and I've gone on to read other books by her as a result.
Customer Rating:
Summary: very good yet very stereotypical at the same time
Comment: I love Jodi Picoult's books. She is such a good writer, but she can also be very stereotypical at times too. I am in high school and I can tell you that shy people do blend in, and unless they are jerks then they do not get picked on as much as Peter in this book by a long shot. Also, popular people do have true friends but they just tend to think about themselves more. Sometimes the things that the book portrayed about teenage life was right on and sometimes it was just not right at all.
But other than those things the book is amazing. You will fall in love with just about every character and the ending is *spoiler-ish* very very sad and very shocking but almost expected, I love it.
