Book Review


Book Description: Clay Jensen returns home from school to find a strange package with his name on it lying on his porch. Inside he discovers several cassette tapes recorded by Hannah Baker - his classmate and crush - who committed suicide two weeks earlier. Hannah's voice tells him that there are thirteen reasons why she decided to end her life. Clay is one of them. If he listens, he'll find out why. Clay spends the night crisscrossing his town with Hannah as his guide. He becomes a firsthand witness to Hannah's pain, and learns the truth about himself-a truth he never wanted to face.

Today I finished Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher. I heard about it a while back and finally found a copy on sale. Even though the subject matter is was deep and serious, I could not put this book down. It makes you think about your actions, weather good or bad, can leave an impression someones life. This is a young adult book, but I think just about anyone could learn something from this book.
