13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher

This week I read 13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher. This book is about a girl who has killed herself and has left behind 13 tapes each of them containing a reason why she killed herself. In each tape there is a person in there which is the main source of the reason. Hannah (the girl who killed herself) mailed these tapes to the first person mentioned in the tapes. Her only rule was that you listen to all the tapes and then mail them to the person after you on the list. If you did not mail them on then she had a way she set up of putting the tapes out in a public fashion for everyone to hear. If you were the last person then you can keep them forever. This book focuses on a boy named Clay who has received the tapes and listens to them to hear why he was a reason she killed herself and what the other reasons are.

This book is a very sad and depressing book but it is written extremely well. I enjoyed this book meaning it was a very powerful read but very sad. This is an extremely easy read though and not hard to get through at all. It is only 288 pages. Overall this is a good book that is worth reading.

Next week I am going to read Black Ships before Troy by Rosemary Sutcliff.
