What can you do in nineteen minutes? well, in nineteen minutes I can write three articles and publish them in the blogs, ready around 20 chapters of a book, buy groceries and other simple things in life.
In Nineteen Minutes Jodi Picoult can kill 10 people in Sterling High School, not by muscular high school student, not by nasty student who like to bully other students, but by the most nerdiest unpopular not so bright student in a high school.
Peter, who underwent bullying from the minute he stepped in kindergarten until his time in high school, woke up in one day and decided enough is enough. He went to his school carrying 2 guns determined end it all once for all.
I must say, the book really caught me in the heart. There were moments in the book that made me yelled "Oh My God!" or "What??" and crying at same time. Later after finished reading the book, I've really understood how bullying can really affect someone's life.
I know this is only a fictional novel but I put it in Parenting & Family genre because every parents must read this book to know their own children better.
