When Clay Jensen returns home from school and finds a package addressed to him he is excited. He opens the box to find seven tapes numbered 1-13. Upon listening to the tape he hears the voice of Hannah Baker, the girl who took her own life only two short weeks before. On the tapes are a list of 13 reasons and 13 people that led Hannah to the decision to commit suicide. These tapes are slowly making these ways to each person on the list reveling the not so flattering sides of the people Clay goes to school with each day, including himself. 13 Reasons Why is captivating due to the powerful voice of Hannah's narrative tale. This is a quick and intense read that will make you think differently about how you treat your schoolmates.
Why I picked up this book: I saw it on the Soaring Eagle's list and read the back. It sounded captivating.
Why I finished: It was impossible to put down once again. It is not easy to pause in the middle of Hannah's tale.
I'd give this book to: Anyone interested in a short fascinating read and a completely unique story line.
**** Really liked it.
