Book Review of Nineteen Minutes

Nineteen Minutes
Nineteen Minutes
Author: Jodi Picoult
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Hardcover
reviewed on


This is the first Jodi Picoult book I've read, I was disappointed. It just didn't ring true to me, especially the media and legal aspects. She did lots of flashbacks, which to me made the story disjointed. She added some aspects that didn't necessarily improve on the story and made it less believable (the older brother would have been much more of a part of a life, he and his fate was barely touched on.) My jaw didn't drop at the ending. The author does better at micro- than she does at macro-.
