REVIEW: I don't know why this book is so popular. And I honestly don't know what all the rave is about. I heard so many great things about this novel, that's why I read it. While this was a good book, well written and all…the plot was just not good enough—no, the reasons leading to Hannah Baker killing herself were not believable enough for me. I mean sure, they did some horrible things to her in high school, that doesn't mean you should just go off and commit suicide. As far as I'm concerned, those kinds of situations happen to everyone. And I don't believe for one second that no one noticed that she wanted to commit suicide. What about her haircut? Didn't the author mention that the teacher passed out a flyer called "The Warning Signs of a Suicidal Individual?" And wasn't there "A sudden change in appearance" on top of the list? What about "Giving away possessions?" Didn't they discuss suicide in the same class? Didn't Hannah leave an anonymous note telling the teacher that? After she told Mr. Porter? And he didn't stop her? Come on, they couldn't have been that dumb! Hannah, above all, just sounded whiny. And I just couldn't sympathize with her character. And committing suicide and then blaming people for it is just a stupid excuse for killing herself. She was the one that decided to kill herself, not them—not anyone. She just needed someone to blame. And poor Clay! If Clay wasn't one of the reasons Hannah killed herself, then why put him through the agony? Why give him the tapes? She could've just written him a letter. And Tony! Hannah put even the ones that had nothing to do with her in pain. For example: what did Tony do to her? Because I know he was hurting, too. He felt helpless because he couldn't have saved her.

It was also very difficult and confusing to keep up with what Clay and Hannah said/thought. One second I'm reading in Clay's point of view, the next Hannah's. And sometimes I had to reread a whole paragraph because I got the POV wrong in my head.

Also, I think suicide is a very serious issue so I didn't really buy Jay Asher's portrayal of Hannah's feelings. If someone wanted to commit suicide, their emotion had to be deeper, stronger than just hatred and petty resentment for having a bad reputation in High School. Therefore, I thought Hannah's emotions weren't very serious, even childish and overly dramatic at times. And after finishing the books I was like, "seriously?! That's why she killed herself?!" I honestly felt like Asher was making fun of the teens who have been through terrible things in their life and are still trying to stay strong after everything they've been through. This was like telling them, "what the heck, end your life if you're so miserable."

UPDATE: Just found out this is going to be a movie. Starring Selena Gomez.

It's just a story. Asher isn't trying to write a book giving you a justification for at what point in your life it's okay to kill yourself.
As individual points, especially the beginning, yes it seems a little dramatic... But it's not for us to decide.. Everyone handles everything differently. & as many people have said.. It's not each point.. It's the compilation as a whole. It's when you feel like everything just gets worse and worse. & when you can list a whole stream of reasons in a row of how you've been mentally (or physically) hurt, it can take a toll on you...

In a matter of about 3 years Almost every bf of mine had cheated on me. I' had 'friends' turn around and sleep with my exes when they knew how much that would hurt me. & those same friends somehow turned it around and made it my fault. within this time, I lost a job, had my parents tell me they were getting a divorce, and my grandma died all in a matter of about two weeks. A few weeks after that my current bf left me to MARRY another girl a WEEK LATER. A couple weeks later I lost another prospective job. I felt pretty hopeless when I had no security in jobs, relationships, or at home. There really felt like no point to living. Sure I obviously didn't kill myself, and if I did I wouldn't have known that I would end up with a great boyfriend for almost two years and counting, my parents would reconcile and NOT divorce, and I would have a stable job for the next 2 years(+) as well. I can look back at those things and realize they were not the biggest deal, and everything probably happened for a reason. But it sure as hell didn't feel that way at the time, and I think a lot of people can probably identify with Hannah even if a lot of people can't. When you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, it can be very hard to move on. of course, most of us manage.. but some people cant, and its not for us to analyze or ridicule. What may seem ridiculous to you, is not to someone else. There is no cold hard fact of what is a 'good enough reason' to kill yourself. There shouldn't be ANY reason! But the fact of the matter is people DO kill themselves, and they kill themselves for the reasons in this story & probably far less. & it's sad, and it shouldn't happen that someone feels so horrible that it will never get better, and they can't rely on anybody, but it's not a perfect world.

I think the point of this story is more about getting people to focus on their actions towards others in the real world.
& I think the ending of this story was great because it opened up clay's eyes to his surroundings, so maybe he could help someone in the future (Skye).

I finished this book in a day & I really liked it
Would definitely recommend (in fact I already toldd a friend I'd lend it to her tomorrow)(less)

I definitely have no hard feelings towards Thirteen Reasons Why but I also don’t really have anything to rave about. Which makes me feel a little conflicted about the rating. This book will stay with me for a while, it made me think, but it also had its flaws.

I thought the novel was based on an original and great concept. We have a simultaneous narration: We get to hear Hannah’s thoughts through the tapes she recorded, and mixed with that, we see how Clay reacts to the things she says. While that is without doubt the perfect way to tell this story (that can probably be enjoyed even more in an audiobook format), I sometimes found it hard to distinguish their voices. I read a sentence, and when I went over it too quickly, I sometimes had to check back if it was in bold or italic to find out who actually said what. While Clay certainly was a sweet guy, I found him to be almost too nice to be true and compared with Hannah, his character and voice felt rather flat.
Also, I expected this story to make me sad and touch me deeply because, after all, it is a story about missed opportunities, about a life ending much too soon, about guilt and grief. Unfortunately, that was not the case.

But, all in all, despite the fact that I wasn’t really emotionally invested, I simply HAD to know exactly what drove Hannah over the edge. I wanted to know her story, to get an idea what made her feel so depressed and alone. I read in quite some reviews that people thought her reasons to commit suicide were shallow. I don’t agree with that at all. They were her reasons and nobody else’s, and I think that she shouldn’t be judged by them. People don’t always have this big reason behind their decisions. Sometimes small things add up to each other, and when you suffer from depression, as Hannah clearly did, even everyday life can be too much for you to take. It can make everything feel like a chore.
Yet, I also found it difficult to understand why Hannah went to such lengths to record her tapes and make sure everybody received them. It seemed to be more about getting back at the people who hurt her than about closure and explanation. Those people did her wrong, no question, but do they deserve what they got? Do they deserve to live with the guilt of being responsible for Hannah’s death? I’m not sure. But this book definitely showed me that even small things we do (or don’t do) can have a huge impact on somebody else’s life, and that sometimes we should take more time to try to understand the people we deal with everyday – be it at school or somewhere else.
But all things considered, I’m glad that Jay Asher didn’t portray Hannah as a victim. She also had her faults, made wrong decisions and – in the end – gave up.

Now I’m still pondering over one question: What is actually worse? Knowing exactly why somebody killed himself and what role you yourself played in his decision? Or living with the fact that you will never find out what caused his suicide and that your questions will never be answered?

I don't often write introductions to my reviews. In fact, the last time I can remember doing so was with the wonderful PUCKER by Melanie Gideon, which I read in 2006. However, THIRTEEN REASONS WHY, the debut novel from author Jay Asher, is the type of book that begs an introduction. So if you'd like to skip down to the third paragraph for the "meat" of the story, I won't hold it against you -- but you'll be missing something important.

If you have the chance to only read one novel this year, THIRTEEN REASONS WHY should be that book. It's sad, amazing, heartbreaking, and hopeful, all at the same time. I dare you to read it and not become so immersed in the story that you lose track of time and your surroundings. You'll cry, several times, while reading this story. You'll have no choice but to think about your actions, and wonder what type of effect they have on other people. And, in the end, you might also find the need to say "thank you."

Now, on to the story...

When Clay Jensen finds a package on his front porch, he's excited. A package, for him? With no return address? What could it possibly be? What Clay finds is a shoebox full of cassette tapes, each marked as "Cassette 1: Side A," "Cassette 1: Side B," etc. Of course he rushes to the old radio/cassette player in his dad's garage to check out these mysterious tapes.

And soon wishes, wholeheartedly, that he'd never picked up that stupid package from his front porch.

What he hears when he inserts that first tape is the voice of Hannah Baker. Hannah, the girl he'd crushed on for longer than he could remember. The girl he went to school with. The girl he worked at the movie theater with. The girl who had changed, drastically, in the last several months. Hannah Baker, the girl who committed suicide.

Clay soon realizes that these tapes aren't just a suicide note, aren't, really, even a clear-cut rendition of why she did what she did. Instead, these are thirteen reasons -- thirteen people, to be exact -- who created a snowball-effect of events that led Hannah to believe that suicide was her only option. But why is Clay on that list? How could he possibly be one of the reasons that she killed herself?

As the day goes on, Clay becomes obsessed with listening to the tapes. And what he hears frightens him, disturbs him, and, in the end, leads him to realizations that he never would have expected. As Clay listens to the role that thirteen people, including himself, led in the ultimate death of Hannah Baker, his view of the world, and himself, changes drastically.

You will love this book, because you won't be able to help yourself. You will feel what Clay feels. You will, in a very strong way, experience the highs and lows of Hannah's life right along with her. And there is nothing, in my opinion, that could speak better for the authenticity of a book. Read THIRTEEN REASONS WHY. And then, if you're like me, you'll read it again. And, hopefully, none of us will ever forget it. (less)

We have to be out of our Condo by July 31st. we are looking very intently and prices are not helping!!! But, "We Shall Overcome!" Ha! Anyway, after reading this review, I am dying to read this book! I still love kids books because I taught 8th grade for 4 yrs and loved it! I have a soft spot in my heart for all teens I had such a hard time growing up . That is why I wanted to teach sooo bad. I wanted to be not only a teacher, but also an advocate for my kids. Now days kids need advocates since parents are somtimes absent and society is so crazy. We have many teens that really are depressed and they are acting on their emotional feelings.Reading literature was my escape and teacher in learning how to withstand all of my hurt. I learned so much from characters in books about dealing with pain. I tried so hard to direct my kids this way and I always let them know they could talk to me about anything. On breaks, lunches, afterschool, at games... I made myself available. If anything really serious was going down, I didn't hesitate to talk to the principle and we would decide how to handle the situation in the appropriate manner, delicately, without betraying a trust. I don't have children of my own - they were my babies. My mom, saw a mother of one of my students one day. That student had been depressed and on medication. I sensed this and I would talk to him on breaks and I always suggested books for him to read and we would talk about the books. He slowly came out of his shell. His Mom told my mother that I helped her son so much. She said that if it wasn't for me, she didn't know if her son would have made it through that difficult time. My mother was so proud and I just thank God that I recognized the signs of his needs. I know that you know what I am talking about from experience, Mike. I love your great book reviews. They are just like I would expect from an excellent and thorough teacher!!! You get everyone pumped up for a goodread!!!(less)

As he wanders through town visiting the monumental spots in Hannah's life, he listens to the tapes waiting for the one that accuses him. The suspense was good. I liked Clay and applaud Asher for bringing to light the tragic subject of teen suicide, but there were things about it that bothered me:

I didn't sympathize with Hannah. I really wanted to. From the get go, I wanted to pity the wrongs done her, but she started off the tapes laughing, taking her impending suicide as a joke, which comes off as spite. I know Asher did this to show a character arc of someone who was fun and outgoing until the stupid cruelties of teenagers destroyed her, but where she started these tapes after she decided to kill herself, the humor is jarring. We should only get depressed Hannah on the tapes and the outgoing Hannah through Clay's memories. And we don't even see the transition from happy to ruined, only the word of Clay that she changed. I wanted to see it in Hannah's story.

Asher also played it too safe with Clay. He was a bit of a Gary Stu (view spoiler)

I get that the point is that we never know how our deeds affect those around us--even the smallest cruelty can destroy someone--but where Hannah had the chance to show us how these thirteen faults add up to something, I expected more connecting the dots. All I got was a mention that their weight on top of everything else is the whole story. I wanted the whole story. Story nine was built up as the big event, a turning point that expounded the prior incidents to a climax that was too much, but after that I just became frustrated with Hannah and wanted to hear her name as one of the thirteen. She was given plenty of lifelines but refused them and then pulled people down with her. Like the last story. What was the point of that unless she wanted to ruin someone's life? Hannah deserved to be on some of these people's lists more than they deserved to be on hers.

In the end, I think that it is a plus that Hannah isn't portrayed as a victim but fleshed out to both good and bad. It doesn't make suicide the natural answer. As I said before, the message in the book is good and I was into the story, breezing through it quickly. It was clever and different and will make you think or get angry or sad or proactive. I loved the play, pause, and stop icons too. I think it's an important YA novel and despite my nitpicking would recommend it. I wish Asher had taken a few more risks with his characters, but all-in-all a great debut novel.(less)

I love the blend between the two narrators. There wasn't too many detail descriptions on all the rumors about Hannah and what Hannah did at the end of the book, which didn't make this too graphic.

Second, Hannah Baker's story as she narrates the consecutive events that leads her to suicide. And the last would be your own story.

It made me feel so bad, so guilty. I'm not on the list of people that cause her death but its as if I'm part of it. Certainly not her list but of people I got acquainted with. It made me wonder what have I done or haven't done to people I have interacted with, intentionally or unintentionally. Yeah, you would say that I felt guilty because I knew that I definitely did something wrong. Go ahead, mock me, I know I deserve it but when you're finished, let me know so it'll be my turn to mock you for the jackass actions you have done. The thing is, no one is innocent. Everyone has done something bad, no matter how big or small it is. If there's anyone who will say that they haven't done such a thing, let me tell you this: Go.To.Hell! Oh, you think you deserve heaven cause you are good person doing only good things to people. Well, no, you deserve hell cause if there is a person that is the most deserving to go to hell it would be the liars and in denials.

I hated Hannah Baker. Yes, Hannah Baker, if you are reading this, wherever you are, I hate you and fuck you. At first I felt sympathy for you, being a girl that ended her life because of the people around you. But as I hear(or read) your tapes stating your reasons, I am learning to hate you. I understand that these people have done something wrong to you but they are the reason and not the one to blame why you committed suicide. No one is to blame Hannah but yourself. You over analyze things, you're too sensitive and if your Science teacher haven't told you yet, let me tell you that the world revolves around the sun, not around you.

You feel bad cause there are rumors going around that is against you. You should not feel bad cause at least there are people spending their time thinking about you. To them, you are somebody and not a nobody. Bad reputation is still a reputation and be glad of that cause at least you are not invisible.

And Gahd, Hannah. You are not contented on ending your life. You created tapes that will be passed around the people who are the "reasons" of your suicide. Tapes that will certainly make them feel miserable and can ruin their whole lives. Yes, you deserve to get back on with them for their "cruelty" to you but you don't have to do that. You're not defenseless on the times they've been hard on you, you can stand up for yourself but what you have to them done is worse. You've attacked them knowing that they would be defenseless, cause who in this world can stand up against a dead girl?! You didn't left them any choice but to suck all the blame. You are worse than the guy who ruined a girl's(not yours) life cause you didn't ruin just one, you ruined 13 lives(no. I didn't get it wrong. It is still 13 cause you also ruined the life of the person who has the second set of tapes.). And you know what's the most unbelievable thing you did, you treated everything, the passing around of tapes and journey according to your map, like it was a game. How cruel can that be!

There, I already released my thoughts. I feel much lighter now. If there is something good this book has brought me, it is how it reminds me and made me think of how huge impact on a persons life I can make. That the tiniest action I will do can affect others big time. It magnified the changes , bad or good, to a person's life that I can contribute.(So friends, my parents and my siblings, if you notice a drastic change on my behavior towards how I treat you, be thankful to Jay Asher. He's the man!)(less)

I loved the idea of the tapes, how Hannah lived on through her tapes and how finally people would be getting some answers as to why she took her own life. I couldn’t stop reading; the story was addictive. I had to know who was the next one on the tapes and for which reason they were on that tape. How you don’t realise it, but the tiniest things can affect another human being enormously. It was definitely an interesting concept. It was nice to read this through the eyes of someone who was on that tape, not just hear Hannah’s story. Clay’s perspective didn’t really add anything to the story, but it gave you a break.

Hannah Baker was a teenage girl. It is commonly known that teenage girls are drama queens, insecure and easy to fool. They get hurt all the time. It happens to every teenage girl. But that doesn’t mean you should kill yourself over it. High school is awkward and embarrassing for everyone. Honestly, none of the reasons were good enough to kill yourself over, not even when you combined them all. I realise this is subjective and people might disagree with me, but to me, these were things that happened to everyone: girl gets fooled by boy, girl gets grabbed by moron, girl loses so-called best friend. Do these things sound familiar to you? Yes. Because they happened to you, and they happened to me as well. But you and I are both still here.

There were certainly reasons that were worse than the ones I just summed up, but I felt like Hannah was at fault most of the time as well. They were not unavoidable or uncontrollable. Like the whole Jacuzzi thing with Bryce, she let that happen. Yes, Hannah was pretty desperate by then and on the verge of breaking down, but she knew what she was getting herself into by joining Bryce in that hot tub. It’s stupid to allow him to get into your panties and then blame him for your suicide. The thing is, Hannah blamed her suicide on everyone but herself, and that is just wrong. She still could have had control over her life, could have done things to make it better, but she didn’t.

We all think about suicide. Don’t tell me you haven’t, because you’re lying. You’ve all thought about suicide, about the easy way out, even if it was for a brief moment where you felt hopeless. Talk to people. In most cases (at least with most teenagers), all it takes is for one person to show you that they care. That’s it. One friend. That would have been the beginning of a better life. Clay could have been that friend. He probably would have ended up as her boyfriend, and they would have been happy for a while and things would have changed, but Hannah pushed him away.

Then comes the part which makes me really angry. After making out with Clay and making him leave, Hannah started crying and Jessica was raped by Bryce in the same room as Hannah. But Hannah didn’t do anything, because she kept crying over all the boys that were mean to her and feeling sorry for herself. I don’t care how bad your situation is, but Hannah, you were already deciding that you were going to end your life. Your life would be over, but you gave Jessica a life imprisonment by letting her get raped. I don’t care how fucking sorry you feel for yourself, when someone is being raped in the same fucking room as yourself, you do everything you fucking can to stop that. You were at a party. Surely you could have found people to help you stop it. And you would be in shock, but later on you would feel better about yourself, because you helped someone out. And after a while, Jessica would come over and say, “Hey there, thanks for saving me from being raped by that douchebag. That was cool of you.” Everything that happened to Hannah combined is less bad than what happened to Jessica at that party. For me, there would be nothing worse than rape. Yes, I know there are things worse than rape, but let’s not get smart here. Those things would not happen to your average teenage girl.

That scene was the last drop for me. I liked the beginning, but after a while I felt like Hannah was more of a whiner than someone who’s been through so much. They did not seem like things you could never get over. You keep fighting. When someone tells you to ‘move on’, that does not mean you should make mix-tapes blaming everyone else for why your life sucks and then kill yourself, but not have the decency to fess up about what you did. It had to look like an accident, so Hannah’s parents wouldn’t feel guilty. But guess what, Hannah? Just like everyone on your tapes, you cannot keep people from getting hurt. That is the snowball effect. Everything affects everything.

After that scene, Hannah could have prevented a fatal accident, but again, she didn’t do anything. Hannah is one of those girls that lets everything happen. To her, but also to everyone else. The only time she does take matters in her own hand, she does the wrong thing by taking her life. And I feel like that was redundant. She didn’t have to do that. Hannah was a teenage girl. She had so much to live for. She could have gone to college and gotten a nice job, move to a place where nobody knew her so she could start over, and she could have made friends and made things better for herself. In my opinion, she didn’t try hard enough to make it work. And it worries me that people would give up so easily.

Talk to someone. Anyone. Talk to me. I’ll listen. I can’t promise you that I have all the answers, but I’ll listen to you. And I will send you virtual hugs and videos of kittens. They won’t be a solution to your problems, but even just a smile helps a bunch to brighten your day.

I loved the writing, the characters, the formatting, the pacing, EVERYTHING.

Writing: I loved how the book was written in both Hannah's voice through the tapes as she told her story and through Clay's reactions and thoughts and wanderings around his town. I could easily see this all happening. I wasn't sure if I would enjoy reading this because I wasn't sure how it would work but Jay Asher did an amazing job at making me care about both Hannah and Clay, and even understanding both of them. I could relate to both of them and could see why each thought the way they did. The concept of how even the littlest of things can play a huge impact on another person is very realistic. And being told how you played a part in someone's last, drastic decision? That's heartbreaking, but also realistic.

There were times that I was so enthralled with Hannah's story that I didn't even care what Clay was doing but I liked how the book was written. It was perfect for the story.

Characters: The book may be about Clay finding and listening to the tapes that hold Hannah's story and reasons why she chose suicide, but for some strange reason I loved Hannah more than Clay. She was real and her voice was morbidly funny at times. And yet, I loved Clay. I felt his pain and wanted to help save Hannah with him, even though we both knew it was too late. And the other characters that play a part in Hannah's life? I could see people I knew or have come across in my own life in them. I wanted to tell Hannah that "it will get better."

A part of me, a part that tends to take fiction way too seriously at times, hopes that the other characters help find a punishment for one character. But I won't go into details because I don't want to give any spoilers.

Pacing: No complaints whatsoever. I loved how each chapter was titled by the tape number and what side it was. I loved that each side gave a reason yet they were all interconnected. And I loved trying to guess where Clay would come into the picture. I didn't want to put the book down, the pacing and writing and story were beautiful and perfect.

Overall, I loved this book. And I especially love it because it is one of those extremely powerful books that you want to share with others. It leaves you feeling both hopeless and hopeful, just like life.

“No one knows for certain how much impact they have on the lives of other people."

I don't know much about suicide, but I guess that a person in that state of mind doesn't need a really strong reason to take away his/her life.

I believe that the tiniest of the possible reasons you might think about it's just enough for them, after all it all adds up to the suffering and it is not the last experience that counts, but all of them together. It can be one look, one word, one disappointment, or it ca...more

It presents the very "It's a Wonderful Life"-esque but worthwhile message that one person's behavior can have a ripple effect in a community, that there is no such thing as a meaningless act. It shows teens that even a person who might appear on the surface to be collected, attractive, smart, funny, and moderately popular could have real problems and could feel lonely or rejected. It shows the dangerous simultaneous power and hollowness of gossip. If you're not afraid of being a little controversial, I think this would make a bang-up book for a teen book discussion group because you would have a forum to discuss and debate these things and make sense of them along with the more troubling aspects, especially the main one, which is...

This is a revenge story. Hannah Baker is a girl surrounded by admirers and would-be friends, as well as some pretty toxic people,to say the least. In the end, she is influenced by the wrong crowd. The accumulated slings and arrows from the latter group deepen a growing depression (with all likelihood literal Depression) and she commits suicide. She records the reasons behind her decision onto a set of tapes that are passed on to very people that did her wrong. While Hannah staunchly believes she gave people enough of a chance to intervene, it also becomes clear that to a point, she didn't really let anyone really know her at all, and so everyone was set to fail. While some of the wrongs committed by her former enemies are grave enough to perhaps merit the blackmail that follows (a second set of tapes are be released to the public if the original tapes aren't passed along as instructed), the reader feels the guilt, pain, regret, and helplessness of the narrator (who is one of the recipients) so keenly that the reader must question whether if the punishment in some cases isn't worse than the crime. One hopes that at the end, the teen reader would see the big waste of it all, the destruction of a life, the ruins of the lives left behind, the hollowness of a triumph under such conditions, the error all around (on Hannah's part as well as the others)--and not just the fact that the bad guys pay dearly at the end, but that's what a good discussion could bring out.

Immediately before teenager Hannah Baker takes her own life, she sends audiotapes to 13 people, explaining the reasons for her suicide.

This book, written for young adults, has a very fine premise with an engrossing narrative, and Asher knows how to build suspense. Most importantly, his characters ring true, and he deserves a lot of credit for refusing to take the easy way out by making Hannah an innocent victim. To the contrary, some readers may justifiably find Hannah nearly as petty and manip...more

I love that this book has no beginning and no ending; it's perpetually in transition. Hannah Baker commits suicide before the novel begins--there's no buildup or exposition. All she leaves is a set of cassette tapes holding the scratchy ghost of her memory, meant to be circulated to thirteen people. Each person is a reason--though "reason" is probably not the right word--each person Hannah had an interaction with had some sort of contribution to her ultimate decision. The tapes are circulated in order, the thirteen people watching and knowing and not knowing amongst themselves, and Clay Jensen is both horrified that he is on this list yet compelled to know what happened.

I don't pretend to know what goes through someone's mind when they're suicidal. I don't have any credentials in psychiatry, nor did I have religious upbringing. However, I'm pretty certain that there is no one-glove-fits-all for people who commit suicide. For a lot of teens, their reputation in high school is everything. Hannah, while distant emotionally, still rang true for me. As I was reading, I kept thinking how horrible her classmates were... the only one I could stand was Clay, and I had to know what he did to get on those tapes. I HAD TO KEEP READING.

The best part about this book (besides the pacing and structure) is that it doesn't matter whether you find Hannah or Clay's characterizations to be believable. Hannah stands in for every shunned, troubled teenager who may be thinking about suicide, whether it's a cry for help or attention or both, and Clay is... well, Clay is the reader. Clay is the only one the reader can sympathize with because everyone else is cruel. As I said, there's no ending, the tape just gets passed onto the next person and that's it. It's ultimately about Clay's transformation into a better person, and not someone who ignores problems and "moves on." (less)

The subject matter is definitely not easy or comfortable.

Before I address the positive points of this novel (which I did overall enjoy), let me complain a bit first. After a certain point, and I believe it was around the time of the “climax,” I felt frustrated and let down by a novel I had anticipated to be deep and life-changing.

First, although I try not to compare myself to the main character and judge her accordingly, and although I try to put myself into each character’s shoes, Hannah was written in a way where I found it hard to do so. I felt like there was a barrier where I couldn’t connect with her, couldn’t understand her, and perhaps I’m heartless, but I could not sympathize with her for many parts of the novel.
I felt she was a weak character that wasn’t fully fleshed out. I found it hard to believe that someone would commit suicide over the reasons she listed, as it felt like she blew everything out of proportion and made everything a bigger deal than it was. In most of the events that occurred, she had more power to do something than she realized, and she just chose not to take action.

It was hard to sympathize with her because it seemed like she created these situations for herself. She willingly made stupid decisions concerning people who she knew she didn’t trust – but purposely did them anyway against her better judgement. And after she made these stupid decisions and acted upon them, she chose to blame others and dwell on them instead of learning from her mistakes and moving on. She handled everything quite poorly, and it felt like Jay Asher was just going down a list of as many horrible things as he could think of in order to justify her suicide. We are not given insight into WHY she is this way, WHY she does the things she does and WHY she feels so much more hopelessly depressed over normal teenage woes and cruelties than is rational or normal for the average teenager. It bothered me that we never truly got to understand Hannah’s decision and all the thoughts and feelings that accompanied what happened to her. It made it unbelievable.

(view spoiler)

I feel there were some plot holes and parts that did not connect: the scenes with Skye were vague, and part with the girl in the coffee shop felt like it needed some more explanation instead of being tossed in the story and never being mentioned again. I was also bothered by how Clay Jensen was a complete Gary Stu and how he was the perfect nice guy with no faults. I prefer my main characters to be more realistic and three-dimensional.

I do think the format of the novel was creative, and that for the most part, it was suspenseful. I loved the puzzle/mystery feel of the story, and it kept me turning the pages. (The ending just did not satisfy me and I felt the story lacked a bit of depth.)
I also appreciated that it gave me insight into my actions and how I treat others. It made me want to re-evaluate how I live my life and to be a better person, because little things do matter. Seemingly inconsequential things may have a greater impact on a person’s life than you can ever imagine, and you can never know what someone is going through just by looking at them on the surface. It’s a good lesson to take from this novel.

A major part of the story is how devastated she is by her false reputation. When I read this, it reminds me strongly of a line I read on a "Would You Rather?" board game box: "Would you rather have cheated on your spouse and have nobody know, or have not cheated but have everyone think you did?" In other words, would you rather have done something awful and gotten away with it, or been innocent but have everyone think otherwise? The answer I always choose is the latter, because it's more important what I think of myself than what others think. As long as I know the truth and know that I am a good person, the people who don't believe me don't matter in my life. I always wish Hannah could find this self-satisfaction in the fact that she isn't at all what the rumors make her to be, and that she is above all that. I also wish there had been true friends or family who could have believed her and helped her as well.

This novel also makes me thankful that I do not live my life the way Hannah does/did. Sometimes, when things go wrong, you can’t blame others for not helping you or not picking you off the ground; when everything goes to hell, oftentimes you have to learn to pick yourself up. You have to work past your problems, take responsibility for your actions and what you can control, and brush off the little things to look at the bigger picture. You have to think optimistically and focus on all the wonderful, positive things you have to live for and that you have to be thankful for, instead of sulking over all the things that go wrong. Sometimes, you can’t change the situation itself, but you can change the way you think about it and you can use it to grow as a person and become stronger. It reinforces my belief that suicide is not the answer.

Suicide is a tough issue to write about. I feel Asher was on the right track and he had a great plot in the works, and that he did a decent job illustrating the snowball effect of how little seemingly insignificant events can pile up. But I also feel the execution of this novel could have been better.

The story follows Clay Jensen, one day, he receives a pack of mysterious tapes, old-school stuff, and he's anxious to listen to them, and the he discovers that they are Hanna Baker’s detailed journey, and somehow diary, to death. Her last words. But, wait, Hanna Baker killed herself. How is it that he received tapes from her? Well, she made a whole plan, where she would record in seven tapes (thirteen stories total), the thirteen reasons why, she would kill herself, in the end, a why she killed herself.

Each side of the tapes, or each story, explains one reason, and she mentions a person in each one, naming them as contributors to her decision. So Clay – naturally – is completely freaked out, What did he do to her? He had always had a thing for her, but other than that, nothing.

And the story begins. He listens carefully to each one of them, a few of her stories are quite horrible and hard to believe, until the moment she finally finishes, and kills herself. At some parts of the story, I was so desperate, just like Clay, wanting to yell at Hanna to fight! To keep living! To stop! And then you realize… she’s already dead. The idea that a person can take the time, days, weeks, or months, to make tapes detailing their way to suicide, is just twisted. Why would someone do that? And why did Hanna killed herself? The answer: she wasn’t strong enough, she was never able to see beyond her current situation and realize that, she wasn’t always going to live in high school. By the end you can see how she practically wants reasons to kill herself, looking for reason to give up. And it's easy to see, that there was nothing to do for her, her mind was made up already, she was already dead.

Jay Asher’s writing style is straight-forward, it's hard to tell if it's his writing style or if it is because it's his debut novel. But it worked perfectly. Jay Asher’s novel will open your eyes. It lets us know that this matters are to be taken seriously. I think It's brilliant, and a must read. You won’t be able to see death and suicide the same way. Ever. A valuable lesson, a strong novel, and a heartbreaking choice.
