After years of cruel bullying from his classmates, Peter Houghton snaps one morning, and in nineteen minutes, ten residents of the town of Sterling are dead. When the case goes to trial, the reeling town is determined to seek justice for the innocents Peter killed.

But as the trial unfolds, Peter's testimony casts light on the terrible role the residents of Sterling have played in turning a sweet, loving boy into a killer, and it isn't long before Sterling's illusions of innocence find themselves shattered forever. . .

Enjoy and pass on !

I found this book hard to get on with and struggled to get on with this storyline of this particular book. Struggled to get hold of the main characters and, the characters were all a bit of a mish mash as the story went on.
I wouldn't be reading this book again. Not sure if I would read any of Jodi Picoult's books.
I have left this book in the Library at Loughborough College.
