Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Allison

The book Nineteen minutes by Jodi Picoult is a story of a school shooting. Peter and Josie grew up together, although Peter was an outsider who no one seemed to like. Therefore, Josie started liking how the popular kids were treated and not how Peter was treated. Josie stopped hanging out with Peter, at first she did not pick on Peter although then she started being like the popular kids and picked on Peter, but unlike the other kids, Josie felt bad about it afterwards. Peter was head over heels for Josie and he told her but Josie's friends found out and gave him hell for it. Peter finally said enough was enough and planned to shoot all the people who treated him badly. And one day, he went through with his plan. He shot all the bullies. Most of them died, however there was a few who survived. Jodi explained how they lived their lives after the shooting. Some took it harder then others. Josie took it the worst. Peter was sent to jail. At the trial, we realized something that I would have never guessed. 
I gave this book a 5 out of 5! I never wanted to put this book down! You  never knew what was going to happen next. I definately recommend this book if you want a good reading!
