Publishers Weekly Review
of Nineteen Minutes:
Starred Review. Bestseller Picoult (My Sister's Keeper)
takes on another contemporary hot-button issue in her brilliantly
told new thriller, about a high school shooting. Peter Houghton, an
alienated teen who has been bullied for years by the popular crowd,
brings weapons to his high school in Sterling, N.H., one day and
opens fire, killing 10 people. Flashbacks reveal how bullying caused
Peter to retreat into a world of violent computer games. Alex
Cormier, the judge assigned to Peter's case, tries to maintain her
objectivity as she struggles to understand her daughter, Josie, one
of the surviving witnesses of the shooting. The author's insights
into her characters' deep-seated emotions brings this
ripped-from-the-headlines read chillingly alive. (Mar.)
