Almost picked it up from Target Saturday but decided I'd get it on my next trip to Target.
Could have used it for Sunday, Boy that was a reader of a day.

yeah yeah
It's actually really good I thought.. however, the ending.. was a little.. I dont know. I wont say anything until someone reads it though. It seems it is a good one for book discussions and such- because it has questions and ways to adapt to a book club in the back.

I read it. I liked it, but I agree with you on the ending. I expected more.
I really like her books. I'm reading Plain Truth right now. I'm only about a quarter of the way through it, but so far it's pretty good.

In college, I was actually afraid to just "watch the movie" or read Cliff notes. I was always afraid that there might be a different ending than what was assigned and I would have gotten busted.

Synopsis:
In nineteen minutes, you can mow the front lawn, color your hair, watch a third of a hockey game. In nineteen minutes, you can bake scones or get a tooth filled by a dentist; you can fold laundry for a family of five....In nineteen minutes, you can stop the world, or you can just jump off it. In nineteen minutes, you can get revenge.Sterling is a small, ordinary New Hampshire town where nothing ever happens -- until the day its complacency is shattered by a shocking act of violence. In the aftermath, the town's residents must not only seek justice in order to begin healing but also come to terms with the role they played in the tragedy. For them, the lines between truth and fiction, right and wrong, insider and outsider have been obscured forever. Josie Cormier, the teenage daughter of the judge sitting on the case, could be the state's best witness, but she can't remember what happened in front of her own eyes. And as the trial progresses, fault lines between the high school and the adult community begin to show, destroying the closest of friendships and families.Nineteen Minutes is New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult's most raw, honest, and important novel yet. Told with the straightforward style for which she has become known, it asks simple questions that have no easy answers: Can your own child become a mystery to you? What does it mean to be different in our society? Is it ever okay for a victim to strike back? And who -- if anyone -- has the right to judge someone else?

The Wedding was actually really cute. Someone told me it was a slow read- however, I sped through it. I think only because there are some parts you can skim in the book- when he talks about his work and such (the character that is). It turned out good in the end. I really liked Bend in the Road, just got done with that one. And of course the Notebook is my favorite. I have read all of his but the choice and I still have to finish nights in rodathe and three weeks with my brother.
