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.
My Rating: 4 stars
Okay, seriously this book gave me the chills. Imagine listening to a cassette tape recorded by a girl who ended her life. Explaining the reasons and blaming some of the people why she decided to committed suicide.
That's Hannah's character on the story. She recorded cassette tapes as she explained everything. Secrets and lies by other people. Revealing their dark sides.
If I were Clay (one of the main characters on the story) i would not have the guts to listen to the tape. But he was so brave and was too consistent and wanted to know everything that had happened to Hannah. He's one of the characters that cared for Hannah. He regretted that he didn't offer too much help and somehow he blamed himself for not saving Hannah.
The book is very well-written. It's as if you're listening to the cassette tape, and the reader would be too curious to find out why these people made to the list of Hannah.
Four stars for creeping me out and imagining a dead girl! :D but overall i loved this book;) too much moral lessons in it. We should aways think of the consequences of our actions and everything that we do always have an impact to other people.
