Thirteen Reasons Why (what happens half way through)


Thirteen Reasons Why is an absolutely amazing book. I'm so glued to it, I don't want it to end. I'm about 2/3 done with the book. This book is about a girl named Hannah Baker who has killed herself and left behind 7 casette tapes. On 13 sides of the tapes, Hannah recorded herself before she died. Each side is dedicated to a person and each person is one of the 13 reasons why Hannah Killed herself. The book is narrated by Clay Jensen, who is one of the 13 reasons. So far, Clay has been listening to the tapes, waiting to find his side, so he can learn why he has to do with Hannah's death. Along with the tapes, Hannah left a map with red stars on certain locations in Clay's town. Clay has been running from red star to red star trying to figure everything out. This book just grabs the reader. It's a concept and a story line I would have never thought about. It makes you think. It makes you see what an impact you have on people. It makes you feel for others.

  1. Thought-provoking premise. Which of the 13 tapes is the most interesting?
