Plot Summary
Hannah Baker is a teenage girl, new to a city she's never lived in before. She just wants to fit in but teens don't seem to believe in anti-bullying . Everything changes once she dies. Clay Jensen, a boy who hardly knew Hannah, receives tapes at his door one night. In all 13 tapes, Hannah says her reasons for why she took her life and who could have stopped this situation from happening. Clay wants nothing to do with her tapes, until Hannah's voice tells him he is a reason why she took her life. Throughout the night Clay listens to all the tapes and travels around the map he is given in the box of tapes. What Clay doesn't know is that these tapes will change his life forever.
Critical Evaluation
Thirteen Reasons Why is a breath catching book. Entertainment Weekly described this novel as "Suspenseful and addictive," which is true. I read this entire novel in 4 hours. Asher describes how Hannah feels and makes you see from the main character's point of very throughout the story. When listening or reading the tapes you feel this kind of guilt that you could have stopped this even though it may not be a real event. He makes you feel like you're the narrator and are experiencing the night Clay heard and traveled around his town to see Hannah's point of view. I rate this an 11 out of 10.
