It was difficult to get this book out of my mind. The topic is way too timely and gives insight into what may be going on in our society today in the world of high school students.

"Nineteen Minutes" was very well written and I liked the way the author switched between the present and the past. It was a very interesting way to present the events that could lead up to such a tragic day. My only disappointment was with the ending. While the ending was unexpected, the reader is left with the impression the " twist " Ms. Picoult is known for was added just to be controversial.
