Product Description:
Clay Jensen’s first love records her last words.
Clay Jensen returns home from school to find a strange package with his name on it lying on his porch. Inside he discovers several cassette tapes recorded by Hannah Baker–his classmate and crush–who committed suicide two weeks earlier. Hannah’s voice explains that there are thirteen reasons she decided to end her life. Clay is one of them. If he listens, he’ll find out why.
Clay spends the night crisscrossing his town with Hannah as his guide. He becomes a first-hand witness to Hannah’s pain, and learns the truth about himself–a truth he never wanted to face.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Asher shows promise!
Hannah is dead at the tender age of 16. Tragically, she took her own life. But she's left something behind: a box of thirteen audio tapes that she hopes will explain the reasons she chose to kill herself.
Thirteen Reasons Why is Jay Asher's debut novel that deals with some powerful subject matter: teen suicide. I was prepared for preachy. I was prepared for condescension. But I wasn't prepared for what I actually read, which turned out to be a brutally honest exploration of both the ... Read More
Rating:  - .....meh
Please read Jeffrey Eugenides' The Virgin Suicides instead of this selection. It is far superior and a far more realistic look into how we really don't know what' going on in other people's lives.
13 Reasons Why's formula gets old really quickly. I also didn't care about any of the characters by the end of the book, so I never really got to feel the full impact of the emotions that Asher tried to convey.
Honestly, read The Virgin Suicides instead.
Rating:  - Excellent Read
I finished reading this book in one morning. It has been a long time since I was so into a book that I couldn't put it down. This book explains the 13 reasons why this teenage girl committed suicide. It could be any teen's story. I agree with other reviews that it should be required reading in high schools. Any parent, grandparent, teen, teacher - basically ANYONE can learn a lot about the whys of suicide by reading this book. To realize the subtle things that can happen to a person that snowball ...

Rating: - Really Great Book!
This was a really great book. It is about how Clay finds these tapes about a girl he loved. It was a good book but was really sad. If you are looking for a really happy, romance book; this book is not it. I was really depressed afterwards because I really connected with the characters. Hannah is easy to relate to and knowing that nothing can save her is really sad. And the story she tells you, will break your heart.
Rating: - Accurate and Chilling look at teen life
I picked this book up on a whim and read it in one day. It's been a while since I've been a teenager, but the descriptions of teen life and the way that teenagers hurt each other are spot on.
This book is a must read for anyone who has teenagers, works with teenagers, is a teenager or wants to know what makes them tick.
And it's a good reminder that the things we do in our lives have an affect on those around us.
