Nineteen Minutes

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. Jodi Picoult received an A.B. in creative writing from Princeton and a master's degree in education from Harvard.

Jodi, I live in Saint James! I just tonight finished Handle With Care and am ready to start Vanishing Acts. While I am not an 8th Grade English teacher (writing is better!), like you mentioned in one of your videos, I teach 5th and 6th Grade Language Arts. I am a BIG fan; I pretty much made 19 Minutes mandatory reading among my faculty members. I admire your craft; your characters are so real. And yes, you make us take a second look at the way we perceive things. Oh, and I have the same family as you- two sons and a daughter- all Smithtown High School graduates. Keep those wonderful books coming! (Which is your favorite?) Ginny DiSpaltro ginnyd@optonline.net

I've read most of your books and like them. My only beef is in the last two. I'm reading Change of Heart now. A lot of the New Age stuff and the Gnostics are not new. They are not accepted by most New Test. scholars. From what I understand they were not even written by the apostle. I have never heard that the gospels were not really written by the men in question. I'm going to discuss this with my pastor who has a doctorate in New Test. I enjoy the way you discuss current topics and research your topic, but this Oprah thing of spirituality rather than religion is strange to me. Also, the miracles are strange. But, I'll keep reading, because your books are hard to put down!!!

Dear Jodi, The first book I read was My Sister's Keeper and I was totally just blown away by it. It has been passed around to my daughters then to my friends and everyone enjoyed. I couldn't wait to start Change of Heart. Again, you managed to keep me glued to every page. I am now an avid reader of your books and can't say I have a favorite book because I love them all. I will say that I have a favorite author and that would be you. Keep doing what you do, because you have us all thinking out of the box. Kudos' also to your staff for the great research and other information povided in your books for your readers to expand their horizons.

Hey, I'm 14 years old and a huge fan! I just finished "The Pact" and I've read "NIneteen MInutes" (my favorite) and "Songs of..". They are all incredibly amazing page-turners. YOur books are so inspirational in a kind of melencolie way.. I'm going to just keep on reading. :) Thank you for your amazing novels Sophia Posted by: Sophia | February 9, 2008, 11:07 am

Dear Jodi, Why do you write out of sequence, i.e., you skip all around a time line? I love your stories, but I do a lot of re-reading to try to better piece things together. The last one I just finished -- your first, Songs of a Humpback Whale -- seemed to be ther "worst" for skipping around. My sister-in-law started me reading your books, saying that My Sister's Keeper was the best book she had ever read -- and she reads fiction and non-fiction ALL the time. (She's 55 years old.) My favorite, so far, was Plain Truth. Thank you, Judy Posted by: Judith Lord | October 7, 2007, 11:13 am
