Book review: “Nineteen Minutes” by Jodi Picoult.
In 19 minutes you can mow the front lawn, color your hair or watch
a third of a hockey game. In 19 minutes you can bake scones or get
a tooth filled, and you can fold laundry for a family of five. In 19
minutes you could stop the world or just jump off it. In 19 minutes,
you can get revenge.
Seventeen-year-old Peter Houghton has been a victim of physical
and verbal bullying since he can remember. From his lunch box being
thrown out the school bus window back on his first day of kindergar-
ten to his junior year of having the school jock Matt and his buddies
picking on him in the locker room. A lifetime of trying to be invisible
to these bullies, covering up his anger and taking it out on video
games, magazines and books that surrounded the world of violence.
Also his father is a hunter and has a personal collection of guns
downstairs in the basement. One day Peter decides he has had enough
of these kids who think they rule the school. With a backpack loaded
with four different guns, he walks into school and claims lives.
Judge Alex Cormier, mother of a “who we think is a victim” Josie
Cormier, has to decide whether or not Peter is guilty, but will Josie
come forward and tell the true story?
