Thirteen Reasons Why

The book I chose was 13 reasons why. The author is Jay Asher he has also written The Future Of Us and Scoring with Logic Pro. The Future of us was Co written with Carolyn Mackler. I haven't read his other books so I can't compare them but 13 reasons why seems to be the best one because it's his most popular one. But I'm sure his other books are good too. Im gonna read The Future Of Us next. I think the theme might be that everyone takes advantage of other people or even hurt them they don't notice till its to late. I also think there are a few more themes like guilt and blame, respect and reputation and betrayal and violence.

This book is about this guy named Clay Jenson one day when he gets hope from school with his name on it. When he opens it he finds out they are cassette tapes. They recorded by Hannah Baker his crush but also a girl who committed suicide two weeks earlier. The first tape explains that there is 13 reasons why she committed suicide. And Clay Jenson is one of them.  " I hope your ready, because I'm about to tell you the story of my life. More specifically, why it ended. And if you're listening to these tapes, you're one of the reasons why."

I really like this book because I don't really find books that I really like and enjoy to read. But I also like the book because it kinda shows it really matters what you say and do to other people because you never know what's going on in there heads. And you might not notice till its to late. I think the target audience would be young readers from age 14-24. And if your into maybe suicide type things you should read this book. This book may not be traced of a true story but this book is pretty realistic.
