Summary:
The story is pretty much about a young girl named Hannah. She commits sucicide. Before she does, she records why she does and the 13 people who effected her life enough to make her want to die. The one person who is telling us and who is listening to the tapes is named Clay. In the tapes, his role is that he was a nice guy who never did anything wrong and was perfect to her.
Review:
really like this book. It was a good reminder about how we should always treat people the way we want to be treated. Also because, it really does show that this can happen in real life, that people do feel that badly about what other people do and say to them.
Quote:
" when you mess with one part of a person's life, you're messing with their entire life. Everything ...effects everything." I really liked this quote because its talking about that no matter what you say to someone, it will effect them in some way. Whether its postive or negitive.

I read this at the beginning of the year and it's one of my favorites. It's a really believable plot, and it's so interesting. I never got bored reading it. I think anyone in high school should read it.
ReplyDeleteZach Garbacik- This book sounds pretty interesting and I can only imagine how bad those 13 people felt when there names were mentioned on that recording except for that one kid Clay. Clay must have been a real genuinely with a lot of character.
ReplyDeleteAmanda Tesini - This book sounds extremely interesting and just from the summary I think that it would not be a boring book at all. It seems so real so I think that would make it even more enjoyable. I also think the quote says alot about what the book is about and life in general.
ReplyDeleteThis book was amazing. It always kept my attention and i always wanted to learn about the 13 people that had contributed to this girls decision to commit suicide. The main person on the tape had a huge heart and wished that he could have been there for Hannah before she made her decision. This book showed me a lot about decision making and thinking about what you do before you do it. ...SHY WALTER!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a book that i would like. I like books that keep my attention thoughout the whole book. Thats what this book seems to do. I also like books where people fall in loveeeee!

I can imagine what it must have felt like to be one of those 13 kids after they got into trouble. After she killed herself I would not want that on my conscience for the rest of my life. It sounds like a really good book.

This sounds like a really good book. I also couldnt think of what it would be like to have been involved in someones suicide. It seems so interesting but very sad. It sounds like it has a good meaning and that it shows people not to pick on people or be mean.

This sounds like it is a really good book and one that grabs your attention. It seems like a book i'd want to read, it probably shows many lessons and how things you do not only affect you but affect other people and how the things you say can really hurt other people.

This book sounds really good! Is it a true story im wondering? The only thing that i didnt fully understand is the narators point in the story, if he was so perfect to her why would she still kill herself? I guess ill have to read it to find out!

this book seems to be something that would keep my attention. it's sounds liek it is one of those books where you can't put it down once its started and that is the only type of book i can read. i know it sounds kinda weird but for some reason books with a very strong plot or message to them seem to be the ones i enjoy. ~nicholina wilkins
ReplyDeleteI got this book for Christmas and I can't wait to read it. What everyone's saying, it seems really good. I always think of what I've said to people after I've said them and wonder how they would take it...no matter in what way I ment it. I also liked your guote because it seems like it would sum up the book nicely.

I usually don't read this type of genre but I must say that this book does sound very good. The aspect of a girl flashing back upon her life and looking at the reasons why she killed herself sounds like a great idea. I feel that there are very interesting twists in the story and I am very interested in checking this book out.-----Derek Pinciak
ReplyDeleteThese type of books don't usually sound appealing to me, but this book sounded like an excpetion. It sounds very dramatic but I would like to read about the people who negatively affected her life and how they did it- Joey Bach
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds interesting. I have never read a book like this before, but i think i might read it. It shows the importance of treating people nice. It makes you realize how everyone is different and may take things differently than you. Although it sounds sad, it has sends out a good message.

After reading your summary and review I really want to read this book. It sounds really sad but I think the message is very effective. I think that many high school students should read this so they think twice about their actions towards others. - Samantha Holt
