Before I started to read Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher, I wondered what the title would represent in the book and why he chose this title for it. While reading the first part of this book, I know why he chose this title for this book. I think he chose the title because the entire book is about the ‘thirteen reasons why’ the main character, Hannah Baker, killed herself. She recorded the ‘thirteen reasons why’ on different cassette tapes.

When we chose this book as a class, I did not want to read this book because it is a book that I did not think that I would like. After reading the first part of this book, I have grown to it. I like this book so far. It is a different type of book than what I normally read. I almost can not put the book down because I want to know the reason why Clay has a part in Hannah’s suicide. This book is also an easy read. I don’t know if it a little easier because on the audio version I have, when Hannah talks, it is a girl and when Clay talks, it is a guy. I am sure if I read it, I would get confused because of it jumping back and forth between what Hannah says and what Clay thinks. I can’t wait to finish this book!!
