Thirteen Reasons Why.

Clay is nearing the end of Hannah's suicide cassettes. He has learned new information about others he did not yet know, and how that affected Hannah. Slowly, he learns more and more about why Hannah committed suicide, and he begins to think that what the people who sent her over the edge did was not okay. From name calling, being treated like an object, and lies, to sexual assaults. It seems like Hannah has been through them all, by everyone who was once close to her.
The genre of "Thirteen Reasons Why" is realistic teen fiction.
One of the things I really like and enjoy about this book is that the characters and, especially Hannah, are just like any average teenager in high school. Although it is a touchy and delicate subject, suicide is all too real and the author really brings out legitimate reasons to why someone would or would want to end their life. What Hannah endured was what this world has come to, the people she was once friends with stabbed her in the back, the ex-boyfriend she had ruined her reputation, and a boy who was peeping in her bedroom window. They all add up to a big weight on her shoulders which she could not take any longer.
I always read the genre, so I'm never disappointed and will continue to read books of this genre.
One part of the book I didn't like was when Hannah spoke about a list that was being passed around with her name on it. Since the book is in Clay's first person perspective, he thought, or said, he agreed with the list. It's not a bad thing, but for the timing of it and what the tapes are for kinda made me start to think differently of Clay. At the beginning I thought, "Oh, Clay seems like a nice guy." but after he said what he said I thought, "So he's just like the other boys that were tormenting her? What a shame,"
This is all from the book so far, I still like it and it's realness. It's fun and entertaining to read what Hannah says on the tapes. I can't wait to read more to find more out about her suicide.
