Clay Jensen returns home from school to find a mysterious box with his name on it lying on his porch. Inside he discovers thirteen cassette tapes recorded by Hannah Baker, his classmate and crush who committed suicide two weeks earlier.
On tape, Hannah explains that there are thirteen reasons why she decided to end her life. Clay is one of them. If he listens, he'll find out how he made the list.
Through Hannah and Clay's dual narratives, debut author Jay Asher weaves an intricate and heartrending story of confusion and desperation that will deeply affect teen readers.
Heart Breaking! This is one pretty sad book not going to lie. But it is a spectacular read. We follow Clay threw getting a tapes from a girl who commit suicide a few weeks before and the 13 reasons why. Threw this book we get to know what Hannah went threw and why she decided to do what she did. We learn a lot about her. Also about Clay but i'll get into that later. Threw these tapes we learn who she was and who she was seen as by other people and they are pretty different images. Which is sorta major to this book.
Now I have heard some people say they didn't get to know Clay as much as they would have liked to threw reading this book. Honestly though what is there to know, good guy, gets good grades. Blah blah blah honestly his life is probably pretty simple and we just don't get that. It is interesting though to see how he deals with the information on this tapes and the people around him while listening to these tapes.
Honestly this book was one of the best books I have ever read and it makes you think. I think lots of people should pick up this book and read it. Even if you don't think you will like it read it. If you read it and you hate it? I would like to know. Yes I know some of you will hate this book like any thing there is someone who will like it and someone to hate it, but read it anyways.
Tell me what you think of this book or even my review.
