As stated in my previous post, this weekend I aspired to finish Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult (Shout out to future Top Gun Lauren Hugel for letting me borrow it). Ok, number one, I really like Ms. Picoult- I like her style, I like the way she researches every detail when she writes a book causing me to (gasp) learn something from her writing, and I like how she uses some of the same character names in her books. Perhaps she knows a little girl named Kate whom she promised she would include in every single novel, and now she groans as she sticks to her promise? Maybe not.
Jodi, because I know you’re reading this (uh), I totally called the end of this book. But, I will not spoil it for the others. Nineteen Minutes tells the story of a school shooting. It is eerie and scary and so on. Remember, I am not exactly great at reviewing a book. But seriously, Jodi, slow down on the language there a bit. In the rest of her books that I’ve read, language really isn’t an issue- maybe a few in 400 pages, but this one was a little excessive for me. Good book. Check it out. And now, I’m not to figure out what to read next- I am thinking Pillars of the Earth.
Haven't read this one yet, but I have read Pillars of the Earth which is excellent! Nice and long, so it will keep you busy for a while. :)
ReplyDeleteI read Pillars of the Earth in high school -- my boyfriend's dad recommended it and we BOTH read it. It is long but really, really awesome -- at least in my recollection these 20 years later.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout out, glad you liked it. Feel free to keep it or pass it on to someone else, I don't want it back. :)
