So I am farther into my book and I have found out about three people and how they contributed to the main characters death. The only character who has gotten the tapes that she made is Clay and he is the one who found out about three other people and how they were involved in her suicide. the book is really getting interesting and I can't wait to read on and find out what Clay had to do with her death.

MOVIE TRAILER

This is the movie trailer for the book Thirteen Reasons Why. I haven't seen the movie and plan on watching it after I finish the book. The movie trailer really portrays the book very well. the characters are exactly what I pictured them to be.

This is the back cover of the book and might give you an idea of what is about. This is my favorite quote so far. I blogged about this quote in my first post because it really impacted how I like the book.

Over the past week I have read more in my book and have gotten a better understanding of my book. Since I had only read the first couple chapters I didn't get all the information yet on who the characters were and the setting. Now I understand all of that. I think it is really cool how all the characters connect back to this one set of tapes that Hannah made before she died.
I am wondering what Clay's friend has to do with the death of Hannah? I can't wait to read on and find out how Clay is related to her death also.

Book Recommendation

A good book recommendation for people that like this book or want to read it is By the Time You Read This, I'll be Dead. If you read the back cover of both of these books you can already see that they are very similar. Both of the book are about why the girl in the story committed suicide and who was part of the reason. I haven't read the book By the Time You read this, I'll be Dead but the back of the book sounds very interesting. Each book seems to have its own twist on the general idea portrayed in both stories. Another book recommendation for people who want to read this book or have read it is Deadline. This book is about a seventeen year old who only has a year to make his mark on the world and be remembered. I found this book on goodreads.com and I am going to read this book next. So for anyone who is interested in Thirteen Reasons why might also be interested in Deadline or By The Time You Read this, I'll be Dead.

My book starts pretty confusing. I don't understand what is going on that well in the prologue and the first couple of chapters. I think it will take a while to understand. I feel like the concept of the book is good and draws the reader but really once you start reading it you will be a bit confused. I do hope that as the story goes on I get a better understanding of what is going on and how everything relates. I would still recommend this book because I really think the concept is really good and interesting.

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?
