Thirteen Reason Why By: Jay Asher
Thirteen Reasons Why is a realistic fiction book by Jay Asher.On of the main characters is Hannah. Hannah seemed like a regular 15 year old girl, but deep down inside she had many secrets waiting to burst out. But there was no way of telling anyone how she really felt. So she made seven audio tapes describing thirteen specific people that made her not want to live anymore. So Hannah sent these tape to the first person on them, and once they were sent out, Hannah killed herself. Clay Jenson was on old friend of Hannah, and one day after school, Clay found these tapes on his doorstep. He walked around his town with a Walkman listening to the tapes wondering why he received them. He wasn't sure if he was on them and he was scared to find out. But he listened anyway.
Thirteen Reasons Why was one of the best books I have ever read. The characters are easy to make connections with and it's easy to feel what Clay is going through listening to the tapes. Also the moral of the book is amazing. It shows not to bully someone because you have no idea what they are really going through or have been through. I would recommend this book to everyone. I wouldn't recommend this book to people that get upset or sad easily though. It may seem more of a girl book but its not because guys could relate to Clay and girls could relate to Hannah. Thirteen Reasons Why is defiantly must read.
