First off, this is an extremely emotional story, and is hard to believe that it is Jay Asher's first book it is so well written. At first the names and stories brought up will confuse you, at least it did for me, but by the end everything pieces together. One of the main characters, Clay, is on an emotional journey to discover why he is on a list of thirteen people, or reasons, why his crush (Hannah) killed herself. After finishing this book, it stuck with me and I think it always will. While discovering Hannah's last days of life, keep an open mind that Clay may have recieved much more than a box full of tapes, but a life altering lesson. If you read this, and I hope you do, let me know what you thought and what you may have gotten out of it. It's definitley one to recommend.

Oh wow, this one seems really good. I'm going to see if I can find it at the local B&N.
I didn't enjoy this book. The dead girl's (I don't mean to sound insensitive, I forgot her name) reasons for killing herself are unrealistic in my opinion. It seems to me that the author doesn't understand how teen girls react to situations. The book was over dramatic and I couldn't force myself to finish it.
I adore this book. It's absolutely fantastic. I thought 'hey, he must have written more,' and immedietly logged onto Amazon. I was met with dissapointment when I found out there were no more, but amazed that a book like this could be a debut.
Nice blog, nice idea :)
