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. 

This book is so sad, at least I think. I just finished it. It’s about a boy Peter Houghton, and he has been bullied harshly his whole life, and then one day he came into school and shot 10 kids. But as you read this story you find out so much about the things he went through and how no one cared. No one tried to help this child. I understand that murdering anyone is never the answer, and it’s not right. But it’s kind of understandable after all the things he went through and how he had literally no one to vent to, no one. If just one person was there for him, things would of been so different I think. If one mean harassment wasn’t done, they could all be alive. This was one of the saddest stories I have ever read.
