Book Recommendation: 13 Reasons Why
I am recommending the book 13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher. This book was a great read it really kept me wanting to know what was going to happen next. While I was reading I could also connect with the characters in the book very well and feel their pain and happiness all throughout the book which I really loved causing me to rate this book a 4 out of 5 stars. I believe the author did a really great job on writing and characterization in the book because I really was able to connect with the characters a lot and their emotions. Also throughout the whole book there was good images painted in my head about the different scenes being visited in the book. I believe the audience being targeted is teenagers because suicide is a huge deal now a days especially amongst the teenage group, so I believe he wrote this book trying to give readers or the audience a better view as to why people commit suicide and to try and help them better understand it and to possibly even help someone headed down that path. This book 13 Reasons Why is about a girl named Hannah who commits suicide and leaves behind 13 tapes each tape containing one reason why she commited suicide. Clay Jenson recieves these tapes and he doesn't know what they are for at first but once he figures it out he must keep on listening to find out something very important. But if I told you what that would be spoiling the book so you will just have to read it yourself ;) The genere of this book I belive is drama because it definately keeps you on your toes, so if you like a book that keeps you guessing and on your toes this is the book for you.

I know a few people who have read this book and most of them really liked it like you did. What do you feel is the reason why you picked this book and not another book with drama?
ReplyDeleteWell I actually picked this book upon reccomendation and just comments I had heard from other people about it the thing that really drew me to it though was the fact that it had a situation that a lot of us teenagers or young adults could relate to in some way.
