This summer I read a book called Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher. This book is about how one girl, named Hannah, took her life, and thought she should share thirteen reasons why she did. So right before Hannah killed herself, she made thirteen cassette tapes. Every tape was meant for a specific person, including the sad, lost Clay Jensen. Clay never really knew Hannah, but there was always something that fascinated him about her. As Clay sets out to find the real reason why, and the real story why Hannah did what she thought she had to, he discovers how he feels about Hannah, something he really never knew before. This is a heartbreaking tale about how high school sometimes may turn out.
Asher uses strong mode and voice throughout this book. Hannah has a strong, empowering voice that is just mesmerizing to hear. This book also sets this deep mode throughout the book. It’s sometimes happy, or funny, but then it may make you want to cry. Asher does a very good job at creating his characters. He is very descriptive about them, so you feel like you know them. Like you can feel what they are going through, or you can hear what they hear. You feel close to them, and then to realize that, in Hannah’s case, they’re gone; never coming back. This book makes you want to jump in and say, “It could have been different if you wanted it to be!”. Asher definitely knows how to move you through the book.
I would definitely recommend this book. It teaches you very valuable lesson, and you never want to but it down. This is a great book, and if you do choose to read it, I hope you end up enjoying it as much as I did. I absolutely feel in love with this book, and all the characters in it.
