Nineteen Minutes - Jodi Picoult

[jobean]

Has anyone read this? I personally think it's great and even chose it for a speech I have to present at school about Justice.
For those who have read it, do you think that points including:
- The wafer thin line separating revenge and justice
- opposing perspectives of a situation being vital in bringing about justice
with techniques such as:
- juxtaposition
- emotive language
suffices? I think I might need more but it's only a 4 minute speech.
Any input is welcome!

Copper boom.

I haven't read it but I got sent a copy to review, I gave it to my friend who's read more Piccoult to do though. One day I will probably borrow the copy back from her to read. Her review made it sound like it was an enjoyable book.

The librarian at my school recommended this book to me. I have read My sisters keeper and Vanishing acts by Jodi Piccoult and loved both of them. She said Nineteen minutes was even better and thought I would really like it. I haven't gotten around to reading it yet, but I will eventually. It sounds like something I would enjoy and Piccoult is an amazing author.

I usually like Picoult but I haven't read this one yet. I was disapponted in Vanishing Acts but I loved My Sister's Keeper and most of her other books. I've heard very good things about this book and will definately post my responses when I read it!
