Blog Due The 28th!!! i think

It's ALMOST Halloween!! Ok... so i read the book Nineteen Minutes (Click here if you want a trailer). Some of the parts were a little graphic, and kinda gross but like we were talking about in class, we are ignorant and need to be aware of this kind of stuff. It happened in our own country too! So, this is basically Columbine. That's the background
SPOILERS I THINK AHEAD!
So. I think that this book was REALLY good, but the last few chapters are wierd. They kind of make you go back. the story takes a totally unexpected twist when you figure out Josie remembers it all...
AGAIN REALLY DON'T READ AHEAD IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON READING THIS BOOK ANYTIME. HUGE SPOILER.
And that it was HER who shot her boyfriend MAtt Royston. OMG omg omg... she explained why briefly but i just don't get it. all it says is that she hated him, and she loved him. WHY does THAT have to be the cause of his death?? Yes, he was a jerk, but a nice one, and Josie didn;t have to do that. she didnt have to shoot him. I just wish there was a more clear reason for it. i guess it's just up to interpretation. i REALLY REALLY REALLY want to get it, but i have never EVER been in that kind of stressful situation or anything. :( this is makin me sadd ;(. poor josie.

Another thing i think about the book is that some parts are a little to slow. one example is when judge cormier (alex), the mom of josie, is deciding wether to preside on the case. i think that that fight is kind of minor in the scheme of things. another thing that i think is that there is kind of a "Red HErring (or heron??)" IT TOTALLY leads you on the wrong path. That is when peter is like, in jail and he is all sad and they get a good case deal idea thingey. they seem to have a good arguement with the battered bullied syndrome. i just think that it is wierd that in the end, it ends up that the two main characters are in jail, living a sad life. one is there for life too! i really was beginning to feel sorry for Peter and then BANG(the police man is slamming the jail door for the last time)... he is in jail for life. Poor Josie. I REALLY DONT GET WHY JOSIE SHOT MATT. read this book and tell me PLEASE!!!!

be careful, this is a tear jerker, but i guess not as much cuz i just told you what happens.

her website is here... click

THanks for reading,
