BooksToday : Thirteen Reasons Why

Synopsis : 

 

Clay Jensen returns home from school to find a mysterious box with his name on it lying on his porch. Inside he discovers several cassette tapes recorded by Hannah Baker--his classmate and crush--who committed suicide two weeks earlier. On tape, Hannah explains that there are thirteen reasons why she decided to end her life. Clay is one of them. If he listens, he'll find out how he made the list. Through Hannah and Clay's dual narratives, debut author Jay Asher weaves an intricate and heartrending story of confusion and desperation that will deeply affect teen readers.

 Reviews :

Blurb from Sherman Alexie: Thirteen Reasons Why is a mystery, eulogy, and ceremony. Twenty or thirty times, I snapped the book shut when a sentence, an image, or line of dialogue was too beautiful and painful. But I, afraid and curious, would always return to this amazing book. I know, in the years to come, I will often return to this book.
Blurb from Ellen Hopkins: Every once in awhile you come across a book that you can't get out of your mind, one you have to rush back to if you must put it down for some reason. Jay Asher's Thirteen Reasons Why is one of those books, and is at the very top of my personal "Must-Read" list.
Blurb from Chris Crutcher: Very clever premise, strong voice, perfect suspense. This one will keep you reading. Jay Asher is a fine storyteller.
Blurb from Gordon Korman: A spectacular first novel. Jay Asher tells his story with such honesty and simplicity that the tragedy feels shatte

            What i think about this book ,

I think this book is very interesting and it felt amazing . Because this book seems to say that suicide is not only happening in one activity , but it occurs in many events .  She really has something to record it to others that they have played a part in the event . So weird to think that Jay Asher is a new writer , I felt like he was doing this for a long time . In fact he is new. I am glad that he wrote a book that was very interesting .

Here's a piece of the story ,

Hello, boys and girls. Hannah Baker here. Live and in stereo...No return engagements. No encore. And this time absolutely no requests...I hope you're ready, because I'm about to tell you the story of my life. More specifically, why my life ended. And if you're listening to these tapes, you're one of the reasons why....I'm not saying which tape brings you into the story. But fear not, if you received this lovely little box, your name will pop up...I promise.

Here's my requests ;

1. Please read this book (get a copy)
2. Comment and tell me what do you think of this book
