I can't really express how much I loved this book without sounding like I just copied out the quotes from the book cover. This is a fascinating book, and one that I think I'll re-read constantly.
This book is about a few things:
1) Hannah Baker's suicide. I don't think I need a spoiler tag there since you can read it on the back cover and The first few pages. Suicide is a hard subject to get right in literature. Often it can go into the melodramatic and cheesy, with platitudes about life sprinkl ...more

Not sure how I feel about this YA novel about teenage suicide. I am trying to think of it from a YA's point of view, but it didn't do much for me.

The format was interesting, and that is actually what bound me to finishing it.

I didn't know anything about this book before picking it up - apparently there is a tv series based on the book -- and it's a young adult book, so I'm not the target demographic. I thought it was an interesting topic, but didn't love the execution -- and didn't quite get Clay's "angst" throughout, based on their earlier relationship -- seemed a bit contrived.

Wow...a heavy topic...but a must read for teens and those that work with teens...or have one at home.
It's not an easy book to read and multi-task, as I often do. The dialogue toggles between Hannah's voice and Clay's voice...past and present. But Asher makes it easier to follow with Hannah's words being italicized.
One of the best books I've read this year....pass this one along. ...more
