Nineteen Minutes: A Novel Audiobook

" This is a hard one to read with all the school shootings that happen now. But it's so eye opening to the other side of the story - the parent's of the shooter. Great read with lots of complex topics at work. "

" Perfect beach reading -- a compelling, fast read. Because I've read enough of her work, I saw the ending coming before it arrived, but still, it's her twists that make her books so much fun. "

" embroiling. very good book. "

" Another compelling novel by Jodi about a school shooting. "

" Absolutely harrowing but again another amazingly unputdownable read by jodi. "

" This was a good story but I found it confusing at the start as the author swaps between so many characters. I enjoyed the depth and description of this tale. It was interesting and thought provoking to consider the "other-side". As a mother it would be devastating if a child performed such a heinous act. "

" Debating between 3-4 Stars. Good story, but it reminded me too much of aNum3ers episode I once saw. "

" This book is hard to put down. It draws you in right away due to it's relevance today. As a mother of teenagers, and as a teacher, it was, at times, emotionally a tough read. I highly recommend this book to high-schoolers and adults as well. My daughter is a senior and she was enthralled by it. "

" It was disturbing but I am a huge fan of hers! "

" This is another compelling book from this author. She handled this very touchy subject well. I could empathize with all the characters. This book also stayed with me long after I finished the last page. "

" A real page-turner. Did not see that ending coming. "

" If you are an educator, you should read this book. Very interesting perspective of cliches and social status in schools. "

" Incredible book. Love the character study, love the nuance. "

" It was a very great book! Wonderful story line ad a great read but totally did not expect the ending WOW!!! "

" The book is pretty intense because it deals with violence, neglect, and bullying. "

" You can always count on Jodi to introduce characters you love then some you think are STUPID !!! This is a goood afternoon read. "

" WOW! This was a great book, very hard to put down during the last few chapters. This is a MUST read for every parent and certainly a great book for discussion for Book clubs. Thanks Jodi Picoult! "

" This was one of the best books I've ever read. It really made you look at a perspective different from your own. Beautifully written about a very heartbreaking subject. Never saw the ending coming. "

" I get so angry at Jodi Picoult, because she is a brilliant writer, and her characters are so well fleshed out... but she cannot end a book to save her life. I have given her so many chances and EVERY time I read one of her books, her endings fall flat. This one was no exception. "

" I like to read Piccoult at the beach. The novel would have been stronger on its own if it had not had the twist that is sort of expected with her writings. "

" Every student,educator, and parent should read this book! "

" a true page turner that makes the bold decision to try and explain the unexplainable as it explores the mind and childhood of the shooter. proves that everybody has a story, but sometimes our trauma and experiences aren't enough to justify our actions. so many lessons to be taken from this book "

" This is one of the few books that has ever made me cry. Jodi Picoult's writing is absolutely fantastic. "

" Great book! So real because it can happen anywhere. "

" Made me think about the whole incident differently! "

" Read this book in 2 days! I just could not put is down! "

" It was a powerful story, some of it based on any of the (unfortunate) high school shooting that have taken place all across the country. "

" This author really manages to hone in on timely topics, and the story closely follows a similar tragedy in our country's history. Somehow, even though the topic does make you really ponder issues, it seems too formulaic since she is borrowing so much from the news. "

" Fast paced. Compelling. Emotional. I don't typically reread, but every once in a while feel like there is so much in a book I should enjoy it a second time. This is one of those. "

" Such a good book! had its boring parts, but overall it was well-written and exciting! could not believe the ending! "

" I think this book made me realize a lot of things.. Things that I should be noticing and pay some attention.. That some people are just not like the others.. "

" I think every teacher, actually anyone involved with children - of any age, should read this book. It will certainly heighten your awareness to often unseen issues which many kids must struggle with. "

" Easy read, great story, didn't like the ending. "

" This book by Jodi Picoult was very interesting. When the shooting happened, nobody expected the funny, jovial student behind the trigger. Nobody expected the bad boy gang member to be the savior. "

" This is a once-you-start-cannot-put-it-down book. Jodi Picoult is excellent at drawing you in, making you feel as though you know the characters of her books. You feel the highs and lows of each person from beginning to end. Definitely a must read! "
