Hannah's voice tells him that there are thirteen reasons why she decided to end her life. Clay is one of them. If he listens, he'll find out why.

"Everything affects everything," declares Hannah Baker, who killed herself two weeks ago. After her death, Clay Jensen-who had a crush on Hannah-finds seven cassette tapes in a brown paper package on his doorstep. Listening to the tapes, Hannah chronicles her downward spiral and the 13 people who led her to make this horrific choice. Evincing the subtle-and not so subtle-cruelties of teen life, from rumors, to reputations, to rape, Hannah explains to her listeners that, "in the end, everything matters." Most of the novel quite literally takes place in Clay's head, as he listens to Hannah's voice pounding in his ears through his headphones, creating a very intimate feel for the reader as Hannah explains herself. Her pain is gut-wrenchingly palpable, and the reader is thrust face-first into a world where everything is related, an intricate yet brutal tapestry of events, people and places. Asher has created an entrancing character study and a riveting look into the psyche of someone who would make this unfortunate choice. A brilliant and mesmerizing debut from a gifted new author. -Kirkus, starred review, "Heavy but compelling. . . . Asher's novel asks us to look at how petty cruelty can deal crushing blows."  -- Miami Herald "Wonderfully realistic in his writing, Asher offers teens and parents alike a great story on an important topic."  -- Green Bay Press-Gazette "It is a brilliant debut that will leave readers feeling a sense of remorse for Hannah, guilt for Clay, and hope for the lasting lesson of the story."  -- Bookazine "Breakneck pace and dizzying emotion."  -- School Library Journal "[Hannah's] pain is gut-wrenchingly palpable. . . .

A brilliant and mesmerizing debut from a gifted new author."  -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review and Editor's Choice "Readers won't be able to pull themselves away." -- Publishers Weekly "Asher's ability to convey the anguish of someone who was left behind is truly remarkable."  -- Book Page WINNER OF Association of Booksellers for Children's "Best Books"  American Library Association's "Best Books for Young Adults" and "Quick Picks for Reluctant Young Adult Readers" Heartland Award for Excellence in Young Adult Literature Florida Teens Read Award California Book Award Kentucky Bluegrass Award Book Sense Pick International Reading Association's "Young Adults' Choices" Finalist Chicago Public Library's "Best of the Best Books"  Kansas State Reading Circle's "Recommended Reading List" New York Public Library's "Book for the Teen Age" 16 State Award Master Lists   " Thirteen Reasons Why  is a mystery, eulogy, and ceremony. Twenty or thirty times, I snapped the book shut when a sentence, an image, or a line of dialogue was too beautiful and painful. But I, afraid and curious, would always return to this amazing book.

    Gift!

    Fantastic book but cannot give as a gift. Jacket was messed up. Most likely from shipping. Bubble wrap would protect more. Keeping for myself. One of the best books out today!

  • I recommend this to teens and adults

    I thought this was very good for YA fiction. I generally don't read YA but this one caught my interest so I perused it as it came across my desk got interested and read it. I found it to be very heartfelt and at the same time a very unique premise for a book. I could see it would be easy for someone who was struggling with some of the same problems and feelings of isolation to relate to this book. I thought it was sad but hard to put down, compelling. It was well written, but parts I thought could have done better or I'd have given it full marks. It does, however, get credit for not putting the blame of suicide solely onto other people(as you might assume from the title) but acknowledges that people are still responsible for their own actions even if things get out of control.

  • Why Would a Classmate Commit Suicide?

    I'm a senior citizen. When I was in high school, kids who committed suicide were either romantic or scary. We never really knew what they were thinking, so we made up stories about it. This, too, is a made-up story, but it feels real. It tells the story of why one girl commits suicide without being romantic or scary. It tells of her interactions and relationships with her classmates in such a way as to encourage readers to be more compassionate. Yes, there's the prurient interest factor -- why did she do it? would I ever do it? But the girl's voice is not the only one telling the tale. The story is tempered by the reactions of a boy who tried to be her friend. This boy is the true narrator. His feelings as he discovers the journey that led this girl to suicide along with ...

  • Thirteen Reasons Why - Extraordinary Book!

    This book was so good I read it in 3 days time. I don't like books much, but once I started this book, I couldn't stop until I had to force myself to! It is very interesting on why Hannah Baker actually committed suicide, and there are 13 people who influenced this decision. Each chapter is so great and enjoyable and catches your eye and attention. I recommend this book for people who like to read about death, or suicide and reasons why, or something like it. Very interesting book. Get this book for you! Extremely well written.. Highly Recommended for ALL! It is really a great book and why Hannah really killed herself. Although I don't agree on why she killed herself, because some of the reasons will slightly not that hard to deal with, but you get the understanding of what a suicidal ...
