Believe it or not, Nineteen Minutes is the first and only Jodi Picoult book that I have read thus far. I can't imagine why I didn't discover her long ago. I loved this one and will definitely be checking out a few of her others. I found this book to be very thought-provoking. When we see school shootings on the news (and there've sure been plenty of them), we only get a one-dimensional glance of the event. Rarely do we learn much about the shooter's personal life prior and leading up to the event, nor do we truly realize what the surviving victims, the families, and their community experience in the aftermath of the tragedy. Ms. Picoult does an amazing job at taking us inside the harsh reality, somewhere that most of us have only observed from the safety of our living rooms. This book touched me from so many different angles. I really empathized with Josie's feelings of emptiness on the inside, of her concern that underneath the mask she showed the world, there was nothing there; that she was little more than "Matt's girlfriend" or "one of the popular kids", a status that was so fragile it could be snatched away at any time. I also felt great sympathy for Peter, and I thought the author did a wonderful job of exposing the fear and humiliation of being the target of bullying day after day after day. High school is ROUGH. Kids are MEAN. And yet it's an evironment in which kids are forced to go back to; there is no escape. I think the author was right-on with the "Bullied Victim Syndrome", and while I would never condone the horror of what Peter did, I can certainly understand where it came from. The book made me think twice about violent video games, as well. It's easy to write off any concerns expressed in the media, to just think, "ah, it's just a game, lighten up". But as the author described, kids are retreating away from reality and into these alternate universes where they feel appreciated and in control. In the mind of a disturbed teenager, "real life" and this "other world" might start to merge into a scary new reality, as it did for Peter. Although I am not a parent, I think it is crucial for our society to be more alert to the potential risks of this.
