I chose this book because reading the back reminded me of Amanda Todd. To me, it seemed like the kind of book you wouldn't normally read. I didn't know what to expect when I started reading. As I read the book the author continued to suck me deeper and deeper into the story, almost as if I were Hannah or Clay. I would recommend this book to people aged thirteen and up. Even adults. I recommend it to them because I don't think younger people would fully understand what's going on and what's being said in the book. I liked it, well I liked the way the author had Hannah put the thirteen motifs on cassette tapes. It was very thoughtful and actually taught me a thing or two about tapes. I liked how all of Hannah's reasons blended together. Like a puzzle, they fit together perfectly. I liked, but then didn't like, the fact that Hannah was Clay's first love. I didn't like it because it didn't seem that way, but then it did. You had to keep remembering that she had been Clay's first love. I also liked it because on Clay's tape I kept wondering, "Well, why didn't he do anything?" He obviously loved her and it really showed in all his thoughts. I liked the way Hannah spoke on the tapes. I could only tell how significant the tapes were. How his words caught my attention and felt what he felt. I didn't like Marcus. I absolutely didn't like it. He was so rude about the tapes. Obviously it belongs to them. It was part of all the tapes. If it hadn't been on the tape, the tapes wouldn't have connected to each other. Hannah didn't want an excuse to commit suicide. He's part of the reason she did it. The setting is past and present. Past because Hannah's tapes are told from the past. They too have been made in the past. Present because Clay is in... half of the paper ......r death but he didn't tell Hannah what she wanted to hear. The plot is that Clay Jensen comes home from school only to see a box on his porch. Opens to find seven cassettes. Hannah Baker speaks on the tapes. Telling thirteen reasons why he decided to take his own life. Hannah was Clay's first love who committed suicide two weeks before receiving the tapes. For all of Hannah's reasons Clay is worried about what his are. Follows most of the places on the map from Hannah. After listening for so long, the tape finally plays. He realizes that his is different from everyone else's. Hannah is actually apologizing. He spends a night listening to all the tapes. The next day he mails them to the person who received it. When he arrives at school he sees a girl, Skye. He had all the same actions that Hannah did before she left. Clay learned from Hannah, so he contacted Skye.
