    I think that 19 Minutes is a far more engaging and believable narrative about school killings.
    I could never really suspend my disbelief, the characters never really seemed human - it was hard to forget that they were a product of the writers imagination so I could never really enter into the story.

    It was ok. I haven't read 19 minutes because unfortunately i read Lucky and i just cannot stomach anything else from her.

    Did anyone else kind of think it was the mum's fault all the way through? I thought she was useless!
