Jay’s writing style is easy to read, and it flows nicely, especially between Hannah and Clay’s narratives. Jay’s characters are raw and real, and it’s almost hard to imagine that the characters aren’t technically real- but in the same way they are fictional, they aren’t. Jay doesn’t try to romanticize and sugar coat suicide, or the experiences of teenagers in general. The acquaintances vs friends struggle is real. Especially if you’ve already been in or are currently in high school.
While we all haven’t found ourselves in the situations Hannah has, we can all relate in some way to her feelings. I believe us readers can see ourselves in Hannah and that makes the story that much more personal and memorable. Clay is the one listening to the tapes, but the book is really Hannah’s story. Normally I don’t like reading dual POV novels, but Jay Asher pulls this off flawlessly.
Hannah Baker is amazing as a narrator, and throughout the entire novel she is always believable and her own unique, dynamic person. The premise of this book is both genius and slightly creepy.
However, I can guarantee that once you close this book your life will be altered forever. It’s a quick read, at least for me, because I always tear through it, but what I’m trying to say is that if you’re looking for a cutesy romance novel, this book is not it. The book is amazing, and is one of my favorite books of all time. I first bought this book in 7th grade, and 5 years later I’m still hooked. As he listens to her tapes throughout the night, his view on his life and those around him alters forever. Synopsis:Hannah Baker committed suicide, but she left behind audio tapes detailing the 13 reasons why she did it–and Clay Jensen is on those tapes.
