Book Review of Thirteen Reasons Why

1/24/2012

0 Comments

 
Last week I finished reading Jay Asher's Thirteen Reasons Why and since then I've been wanting to get here and right a review about it.  Thank god I found the time today.

For starters, I read it in two day.  I've been trying to limit my reading to my commute using my time at home to write.  But, on that second day, I just had to continue reading it to find out what happens.  Needless to say, I didn't get any writing done that day.

I really loved the concept of this book.  My favorite part was the mixing of Hannah's story with that of Clay's.  I liked the two distinct voices and how it contently jumped from one to the other, sometimes so quickly you could almost miss it.  What I also liked was seeing what stories pushed her to the brink of no return.  Some can seem so trivial to us, a bad joke that we've all experienced in our lives, but how in someone who is depressed, that one bad joke could be the final straw in their lives and how a string of bad jokes make them feel like they have no place else to go.

I definitely recommend this book to read.  It's an eye opener as well as a page turner.  But it doesn't get so dark that it can be scary.  It's a good mix.
