smallmac 's review for:

Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult
4.5
challenging emotional reflective sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Absolutely riveting, and an excellent example of writing from multiple perspectives and fleshing them all out thoughtfully.
Unlike most other banned books I've read, I completely understand why people would want to restrict who reads this book. It's not objectionable material (to me), but it is for mature readers and certainly benefits from discussion about what's going on in the story.
