Kayleigh's Review On Thirteen Reasons Why- Jay Asher
The Blurb:
You can't stop the future.
You can't rewind the past.
The only way to learn the secret... is to press play.
Clay Jensen returns home to find a strange package with his name on it. Inside he discovers several cassette tapes recorded by Hannah Baker- his class mate and first love- who committed suicide two weeks earlier.
Hannah's voice explains there are t#hirteen reasons why she killed herself. Clay is one of them. If he listens, he'll find out why.
All through the night, Clay keeps listening- and what he discovers changes his life...
Forever.
__________________________________
288 pages normal size writing, and for some reason it took me about a week to finish it, it wasnt a bad book infact i thought it was really good.
The book is in the perpective of two characters. Clay who is listening to the tapes and Hannah who made the tapes.
Hannah had recently commited suicide by overdosing on pills, she decided that the people who made her choose to do this deserve to know. So she picks thirteen reasons why she killed herself and recorded herself telling the stories. Before killing herself she sends the cassettes to the person on the first tape who then needs to send it to the person after them and so on, until the last person (thirteenth) is left to live with the cassettes for rest of their lives.
I did not cry at this story, but i found it emotional and i felt sympathy towards Hannah, her first few reasons didn't really effect me at all, but as the book goes along i began to understand what drove her to the overdose.
It is a young adults read and i recommend it to everyone.
It kind of holds a message within the book: Think about what you are doing and how it may effect people, even people who arn't involved.
Rating: I give this book a 8/10

Kayleigh: What is with everyones promblem with Twilights:Bella Swan?
I realise that everyone is allowed their own opnions on things, and im not saying your not. But this a blog about me voicing my opnion, asking why?
What makes Bella Swan so bad?
People says she has no personality and is very dependent on other, but wouldn't everyone be dependted on people if they were constantly being attacked by vampires.
Now having no personality i will agree on, but i think it add to the irristableness of which Edward is discribed to be. She is so blinded by her love for him that she does not care about anything else, just him. I mean vampires, especially in Twilight are meant to be the most beautiful creatures in existance, and if they were really true wouldn't we also be blinded by their looks.
