Summary

The book I have chosen to read is Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher. With just reading the title I predict that there will be thirteen reasons why someone died. After reading the back cover I discovered that Hannah the main character has died and Clay Jensen is responsible in some way of her death. Clay doesn't want anything to do with the tape that Hannah had recorded before her death. My prediction was partially correct because I thought that someone had died and there are thirteen reasons why she died. I still don't know if there are thirteen reasons why she died. I will find that out after I read some of the book. When I picked the book up off the shelf it caught my attention because of the cover and second when I read the back cover the quote at the top really interested me and made me want to know what happens. The quote: "You cant stop the future. You can't rewind the past. The only way to learn the secret ... is to press play." I really thought this was so creative and such a good way to hook the reader. I think it is also cool and interesting to see the quotes that relate to the book on the front cover. A connection I noticed even by reading the back cover is that it is a knock off of the Pretty Little Liars Series. In pretty little liars someone has died and 'A' is sending the girls notes giving them facts that he or she knows about them. Eventually the girls figure out who 'A' is. This is a text to text connection because in the book Hannah dies and leaves these tapes that eventually lead to who and why Hannah died. What i dont understand is that Clay is told his name is in the tape and Hannah told him but she is dead so how could she have told him? Did he like see signs that she was sending him or did she tell him before she died?
