How he effected her. How he left her.

Review: I really loved Thirteen Reasons Why. I read it in about one night. I could not put it down no matter how hard I tried. All of the different stories had so much depth to them. They were so intriguing, so inviting. I wanted to know how everyone fit together. How everything effected Hannah. But also how Clay played a role. And maybe how much I could relate to Hannah. Even though she was a fictional character. I actually found myself relating to her more then I probably should have. I could also figure out where the other people in my life could fit into the story. That's probably a bad thing but oh well. Anyway! Back to the story. I think that everyone should read this. Yes the material is graphic in a few places. Yes the story line is a sensitive subject. Yes I cried. But still read this amazing book, Thirteen Reasons Why, which is the debut novel of Jay Asher.

P.S. Where I can find your poem?
Wow, that is not what I thought it was about.
i liked this book alot too... but i had a hard time reading it because my name is hannah and i kept reading it as if it was me, which got me depressed for a while, it still was a great book!
I definitely read this one in one night as well :P
True, the subject matter is "sensitive", but it's the kind of thing that everyone should read anyways, cause while it may be sensitive, it's also reality.
Anyways, off my soapbox, I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
Laina what did you think it was about? Just wondering. lol
Hannah that would be really weird. But I probably would of ended up doing the same thing. =]
Runa this book definitely does have a big reality factor to it. But I think a lot of people over look this kind of thing.
