Thirteen Reasons Why Book Review

This book may be quite old now but it is still amazing, most of you might have already read this book but if you haven't already, The plot for this story is about a young girl called Hannah baker and she committed suicide but before she died she recorded her voice on 13 cassette tapes and posted them to 13 people and the 13 people are the people that pushed her over the edge for her to commit suicide. The main character in this book (clay Jensen) is one of the 13 people and he basically listens too all the tapes until he finds out the reason why he is one of the people that made her kill herself.

Considering the plot sounds like its going to be really dark, depressing and morbid, it actually has quite a lot of funny moments where I was just laughing for ages. This book is quite unique, with the way they layout the writing and the chapters which I liked, the chapters are set out with all of the cassette tapes such as: chapter one is called cassette tape 1. The writing of the book is in a way kind of like duel protagonists because when the main character (clay) is talking it is written in normal font, but when he is listening to the cassette tapes when Hannah is speaking the font is in italics so you know when a different person is talking. The characters in this book are quite fun, clay is just a normal boring character and Hannah is really funny and witty and because she is dead she can say whatever she wants about whoever she wants because they cant say anything to her.

It did take me quite a while to read this book even though it is only 282 pages because this book can be pretty slow but it does eventually get funnier again, so it just took me a while to get through this book.
