  12. Recently I have only managed to read one book in a week but usually i can manage 2 or 3 books.
  13. The Pact is one I haven't read yet. I think its because I already watched it (before I even heard of Jodi Picoult ) so I would rather read her other stuff first. My mum tried reading Nineteen Minutes but shes given up already. Ahh well, Picoult can't please everyone! My mum gave up with My Sister's Keeper as well

  16. No I've never heard of it I'm afraid :(

     

    I'm busy with my library books as I want to hurry up and read Sookie Stackhouse series :P

  17. Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult Synopsis from Waterstones: Sterling is a small, ordinary New Hampshire town where nothing ever happens -- until a student enters the local high school with an arsenal of guns and starts shooting, changing the lives of everyone inside and out. The daughter of the judge sitting on the case is the state's best witness -- but she can't remember what happened in front of her own eyes. Or can she? My Thoughts: Peter Houghton is a 17 year old boy that has been bullied all his life. On his very first day at kindergarten other boys threw his lunchbox out of the bus window, which ended up happening on a daily basis. Jump ahead several years later and the same boys are still bullying and humiliating him on a daily basis, that one day Peter walks into his school with guns and kills ten people. I am a huge fan of Jodi Picoult and this book did not disappoint. She has the power to fill you with such raw emotions and question what you would do in such dilemmas. I like the structure of the book as the alternating narratives between past and present adds depth to the story. This is the key to producing powerful emotions as at first you don't know each characters history and you find you have made up your mind based on what is happening on the present, but as the story jumps to the past and you see each event unfold you start to get a better understanding and begin to empathise with the characters, finding yourself changing your mind about each one. I changed my mind on a number of character such as Peter, Josie and Matt, but I found I did more with The problem I find with books by Jodi Picoult is that she is always putting in a twist at the end which I never expect, so throughout this book I was reading every event thoroughly, and found I was right in my guessed on certain events that happened that I was worried that I was going to guess the final twist. No need to worry as Picoult is a fantastic writer and I did not expect that Personally I found this book to be a fantastic read and would recommend this to any Jodi Picoult fans! Rating: 9/10
  18. Don't worry about it, it took me 4 attempts until I passed :P Glad I did though, hated driving as my instructor was an arse and put me off but luckily now I'm driving on my own my confidence has gone up. Yes a new guy ;):D its so fun, lol.
