Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult is about a 17-year-old boy called Peter Houghton who, after years of bullying takes several guns into school and shoots a load of his fellow pupils. This book was pretty good (not as good as My Sister's Keeper though) although it is very wordy at times, but it does have a good twist at the end. Also, I got a bit confused until I realised that the chapters flick backwards and forwards to pre and post incident... so I had to remember the date at the top of each chapter. Otherwise it was quite a good read.
