Week 9- Thirteen Reasons Why.

I chose to read, Thirteen Reasons Why, by Jay Asher. Even though I haven’t read as much as I would of liked to by now, I am glad that I chose this book. It has been very interesting from the start. So far what I have read makes me want to keep reading the entire book until I finish it.
When Clay Jensen finds a package on his front porch addressed to him he was very excited, that was, until he learned what was inside of it. It was a set of 13 cassette tapes. He went out to his garage where his dad kept an old stereo that played cassettes. He saw that the tapes were numbered so he put in the first tape to play. He was very shocked to hear that it was the voice of Hannah Baker, who is now dead. She committed suicide and is now going to tell the story of her life and why it ended. She says that if they are listening to the tape that means that they had something to do with her death and that their name will be mentioned on the tape. There are 13 tapes and 13 reasons (people) to why she is dead. She tells lucky number 13 that they can take the tapes to hell. She has two rules for them to follow. One: for them to listen. Two: For them to pass it on to the next person on the list. She tells them that hopefully neither rule will be easy for them.
I can’t wait to continue on in this book, when she talks on the tapes it makes me want to know more and what that person has to do with her death. She was very clever in setting this up the way that she did. It took a lot of time and dedication.
