I am currently reading "Nineteen Minutes", by Jodi Picoult. It is very good.

It is about a boy who shoots a number of students in his school. ( Like the Columbine shooting here in the states a few years back.)

It shows how the boy arrives to this point and decision by chronicling his earlier school years. It flips back and forth in time a lot.

I am about 1/4 of the way through it and it is quite good.
She also wrote "My Sister's Keeper", which was excellent.

I have read some of her stuff including "My Sister's Keeper" which was very good.
I haven't read "Nineteen Minutes" but I read Lionel Shriver's "We Need to Talk about Kevin" which is the same subject matter and that was an excellent if somewhat disturbing book.

I'll look for that one. Thanks.
Thanks EngTeach- I'll give that a go. I absolutely loved We need to talk about Kevin.
I read it last year engteach and enjoyed it. She has another novel with the same detective in but I am not sure of the title
Question Author
I finished 19 Minutes. It was very good. It had a good shocking ending. Hope you enjoy it if you read it.
The ending was a surprise, is there any more o fhers you would recommend?
nineteen minutes was actually my least favourite of all of the Jodi Picoult books I've read. I loved My Sister's Keeper, Plain Truth, Salen Falls, Perfect Match and Vanishing Acts though. She is such a good character writer and really makes you feel the story.

Bit of a fan of hers!
Question Author
I read My Sister's Keeper and The Tenth Circle also. I have a hard time getting to the library timewise, but will have to check out more of her books.
