Review: TH1RTEEN R3ASONS WHY

This book is something that will change your views on life; or at least, how your life will affect the lives of others. This book brought tears to my ears, so if you're looking for a drama/depressing tale, this is definitely something that I would suggest for you
"Clay Jensen doesn't want anything to do with the tapes Hannah Baker made. Hannah is dead. Her secrets should be buried with her.   
          Then Hannah's voice tells Clay that his name is on her tapes -- and that he is, in some way, responsible for her death. 
          All through the night, Clay keeps listening. He follows Hannah's recorded words throughout his small town . . .
          . . . and what he discovers changes his life forever."
Summary: Hannah's life fell apart, she felt that the only way to solve her problems was to end her life, and she did. But, before she did, she wanted people to know why. Right before her passing, Hannah made tapes, thirteen tapes to be exact, and sent them out, so that people who affected her decision, will know how, and why. 

PROS: I love the original story line that this book uses, and how the whole book is actually just written about one night. I really enjoyed the how heart-wrenching it was.

CONS: The book is actually very difficult to keep track of, I never really knew what was going on when. I also thought that maybe it was a little TOO sad, a little TOO heartbreaking, a little TOO hard to pay attention to without bursting into tears.

Rate: As original as this book is, and as good of an author Jay Asher is, I thought that this book was just too over the top.  3 out of 5 books (because books are better than stars).
