Thirteen Reasons Why

Graciela Sangri Andrade 

I remember postponing this book because it would make me cry or it would make me too sad. Honestly, I got around reading it because Netflix is doing the show and I couldn't allow it to ruin the book for me. It's not one of my favorite, no doubt about that, but I like the story. Having two PoVs confused me and made it a bit hard to read but I understood what the book wanted to tell me. I thought I would cry much more than I actually did. I think I had a really wide range of emotions throughout the book, from anger to sadness, from fear to happiness. I guess I can now watch the show without a problem (: Pd. March 31st, please hurry

A classmate, friend, relative? I can think of 3. Two classmates and a friend’s younger sister. I wasn’t close to any of them, I was friendly with them, said hello or goodbye when I passed them in the halls, maybe had a drink with them at a party, but I wouldn’t have called them my friends. And unlike Hannah’s situation, theirs were all made in haste with a gunshot, over break-ups. There were no signs, no hints. The fact they weren’t your friends doesn’t take away the feeling of wishing to have been able to say something…do something, anything. To tell them it’s not worth it, that although their heart is exploding with pain at this moment, it will get better. This book brought out a lot of emotions from me. Obviously it made think of the people I just talked about, but also, while reading about Hannah’s reasons it made me remember how quickly and thoroughly rumors can change a person’s life. Reading them triggered some of my own long-buried memories from high school that I would rather not rehash. I think that’s why I connected so completely with this book. While my own experiences never escalated to Hannah’s point, I still understood her feelings a little too clearly at times. The unique style this book is written added to how affected I was by it. It’s not Hannah’s chapter, then Clay’s chapter with his reaction. It’s Clay listening to Hannah and reacting to her words in real-time, per say. The fact that Clay is reacting as he’s listening to the tapes made me feel like I was the one with the headphones on. Hannah’s revelations are all heart-wrenching, but it didn’t stop me from needing to know the whole story. This book is definitely a page-turner. I was up until 4AM reading and started it back up as soon as I could the next day. What I’ll be taking away from it, as Clay does, is to not ignore any possible signs. To try harder and push past our comfort zones and reach out to those who we think may be going through difficult times. To watch my words and actions to others. You never know what that person may be going through and how you could unknowingly be adding to their distress. I strongly recommend for everyone to read this book. To share with their students, children, nieces, nephews, friends…everyone. We can all learn something from this book.

most of the book is just clay jensen blaming hannah for doing what she did. this is fucking trash… 

a decent read for those evenings after school

You don’t know what goes on in anyone’s life but your own. And when you mess with one part of a person’s life, you’re not messing with just that part. Unfortunately, you can’t be that precise and selective. When you mess with one part of a person’s life, you’re messing with their entire life.

it still fascinates me all those shit happened in one day but okay we not wasting any minute now HHAHA. ily hannah:(

Mharie

I had no idea what was going on in this book

I think that this book really makes you think about how you treat people while they are alive. In my family we have a saying that you should always do or say nice things to people because you could be the one person that stops someone from committing suicide. I also wonder why clay went after skye at the end of the book? I feel so bad for Hannah and if it was me I would have tried to be her friend or at least noticed that something was off and talked with her about it.

somewhere around 3.9 stars.

This was good. There were feels. There was a journey, and our MC learned something, yada, yada, yada.

But..... 
I have some slight issues with the premise. As someone who suffers from depression myself, I would have to say I don't know that I can think of any human who would put that much planning in place for their suicide. I wouldn't. I mean, the couple times that I've, well, almost... you know, I wrote a quick, one-paragraph note on my computer and printed it out. That's it.

I mean, I get it. I get why it was done that way. if it wasn't, well, we wouldn't have a story, would we? But still.

Clay Jensen kembali dari sekolah dan menemukan kotak misterius untuknya di teras rumah. Dalam kotak itu dia menemukan 13 kaset yang direkam Hannah Baker--teman sekelas sekaligus gadis yang ditaksirnya--yang bunuh diri dua minggu sebelumnya.

           lebih tepatnya, 9/10

lumayan sekali, bukan?

oke, yeah, buku ini memang menarik sekali. aku membacanya dengan imajinasiku yang kemana-mana. dan, di sela-sela membaca buku ini, semangatku untuk melanjutkan tulisanku--yang ingin kujadikan sebuah novel--tiba-tiba muncul. dan itu yang kuharapkan sejak dulu.

tapi, dengan bodohnya, aku juga melakukan kesalahan fatal sehingga aku hanya bisa memberi 9 dari 10 untuk buku ini. kenapa? aku menonton serial netflix-nya di sela-sela membaca.

sungguh, sungguh bodoh.

gara-gara menonton serialnya, aku langsung terspoiler sejak episode pertama. karakter favoritku, Tony, diungkapkan kedoknya di episode pertama di serial netflix-nya.

padahal, di bukunya, Tony baru diungkapkan agak akhir. dan itu membuatku kesal.

sungguh, aku ingin sekali memberi 10 dari 10. tapi, karena kehodohanku sendiri, aku tidak bisa.

Tony, karakter favoritku, kuhancurkan sendiri.

"No one knows for certain how much impact they have on the lives of other people"

The very first time I read this about five years ago, I know I felt a tugged in my heart as I make my way through this. But at that time, I overlooked a lot of important things. I just simply read it and get over and done with it. I just didn't knew then how this story has way a lot deeper emotions rooted into it than I let mysef noticed. 

Now that I re-read this, the things that I overlooked slapped me right in the face. I cried then, thinking the sympathy I have had for Hannah. But now, I cried even more thinking how other people think less of the pain a person was forced to encounter in his/her everyday life.


   "Hannah just wanted an excuse to kill herself" 


Imagine the anger I felt re-reading that line all over again. Victim-blaming, a very common disease spreading in the society. She was not trying to seek for an excuse to kill herself, she was trying to look for a reason to continue holding on. To know that someone cared. But all she received were reasons to keep coming back to the wrong side of her battles. Reasons to continue thinking about an awful idea she was trying to pushed her mind off. Reasons to think of just letting go of the little hope she once had. 

I was glad to read this book again. I am now seeing this in another light, apart from the way I saw this then-- a book with shallow messages and meaning that I thought were the only things the author wanted me, us, to see. I liked it now better, to be honest. I can feel the emotions a hundred times more than I used to, undestand each lines better than I did. I'd probably pick this book up again someday.

This is one of those books that after you read it, AND LOVE IT, you'll give it to all your friends (even the non-reading ones) and make them read it too. IT'S SO GOOD. It's on my list of Top 10 Most Favorite Books of All Time. I don't quite know what number it'd be, but it's up there. It's just so...captivating. And INTERESTING. The concept is so cool and different and even now, years after I've read (and re-read) this novel, I've never found a book quite like it. It does deal with a few heavy topics but I first read this when I was pretty young and I barely noticed. It's just so heart-breaking and inspiring at the same. Stop what you're doing right now and go buy this book. It's stunning.

★★★★★ // the book is honestly influential for my high school self. if i read it again, i probably wouldn’t like it, much less agree with its message. if anything, the tv series adaptation ruined whatever good memory i have of this novel. but the 5-star rating stays, if only for the memories.

I'm still conflicted on how I feel about this book. It was a great book but I feel like it was very overrated. I did not cry and I never really laughed but the book was still good. It was greatly written. The ending was mysterious and left me with a lot of questions. It does make you think about the people around you and your own life. I do recommend this book but not for the reason everyone stereotypes it for

changed my initial rating from 4 stars to 2 and a half. it was suspenseful, but i was expecting so much more from the ending.

As story that is important to know, yet tedious to understand and trains my brain to live and process two different simultaneous scenes at the same time.

           I liked this book. It gave insight to real bullying cases and teen society. However, I found Clay's character to be cheesy at times. He was your typical "brooding-unknowingly handsome- quiet-sensitive-deep" guy. Twilight has paved many many roads and this is just another devastating romance. Oh and I don't think I'm alone when I say that suicide isn't a solution. Some kids can't see through this.

Hannah Yang

I hope you're ready, because I'm about to tell you the story of my life. More specifically, why my life ended. And if you're listening to these tapes, you're one of the reasons why.

I feel bad for giving this book two stars because it's about a girl called Hannah who committed suicide. Have I no sympathy for my own people?

Trust me, I so very badly wanted to love Thirteen Reasons Why. I had it on my to-read list forever, it's rated pretty highly, and I loved the idea. Yet, I was disappointed by this book.

Thirteen Reasons Why is about Hannah Baker, a girl who committed suicide. Before she swallowed the pills that killed her, she made a ton of cassette tapes addressed to certain people whose actions and decisions have lead to her suicide. So far, so good. She sends them out to the first person, and they're meant to be passed along until every person who's ruined her life to this point understands why she did what she did.

  I'm listening to someone give up. Someone I knew. Someone I liked.
I did not dislike the book because of her reasons. A lot of people seem to be complaining that her reasons were petty and selfish. The things she went through were things people are constantly going through, and some - like the Best Ass one - would even be seen as compliments. Most of them are about guys who've flirted with her. That's not so bad, is it? It isn't. But for her, it was bad. Suicide is a touchy topic because there are so many grey areas. It's not some black and white thing, where one deeply traumatic experience ruins everything. For a lot of people like Hannah, little things build up and become unbearable.

Even if you don't think she had a good reason to commit suicide, she has the right to decide what she does with her life. If you disagree with that, you're saying that because she had a pretty nice life, she didn't deserve to choose how she felt about the things that were happening in her life. So, I thought Hannah's reasons were justifiable. A little harsh to smack those people in the face with her reasons, but there was nothing wrong with the actual reasons.

I did like the way the story was told, for the most part. The switching sides of Hannah telling her story and Clay's reactions was really unique. It was the characters that were such disappointments to me. They just didn't come to life. (I don't mean that in a bad pun way, please don't take offense.) I just didn't see how Clay and Hannah connected. I didn't feel the care they apparently had for each other. While at times, I could relate to Hannah, about people not caring, about not deserving hope, about being used, etc. Clay didn't do anything for me. He was just there.

The people in her stories were just stories to me - I didn't feel anything from any of the characters. I also didn't understand the need to introduce Skye, and the ending with her didn't feel significant at all. In a book like Thirteen Reasons Why, the characters had to be everything. I needed to feel aching sympathy for Hannah, the same pain and anger as Clay, I needed to feel something and I did not.

Honestly, that was a huge shock for me. This is coming from someone who cried because I saw baby sea turtles dying in a documentary. Such an emotional book, dealing with such touchy topics, and I didn't even bat an eye? What am I, inhumane?

  A lot of you cared, just not enough.
Seriously, with quotes like that in this book, bookstores and libraries should give out boxes of tissues with it.

This book just didn't click with me. Perhaps I had just expected too much from it, or perhaps I was just unable to relate to this particular set of characters. I simply don't think this great idea was executed well. Sure, the emotions were there. Hannah had a very real depression hanging over her, and that's something a lot of teens nowadays can relate to or at least imagine (sadly). But in a book that requires so much feeling from its reader, I felt nothing.

But a lot of you will. So, surprisingly, I end this review with a recommendation. Although this book didn't work with me, I know it will connect with a lot of you. So, if you ever get the chance, pick it up and give it a read. Maybe you'll enjoy it, and maybe you won't. I hope it offers you more than it offered me.


  You don’t know what goes on in anyone’s life but your own. And when you mess with one part of a person’s life, you’re not messing with just that part. Unfortunately, you can’t be that precise and selective. When you mess with one part of a person’s life, you’re messing with their entire life. Everything... affects everything.

I've been wanting to pick up this book for years, but for some reason I never did. Then finally, I was at the Waterstones in Amsterdam and I saw it there, I decided to just go for it. It was this lovely silver edition that I hadn't seen before, and I personally like the colour silver (it's a Slytherin thing), so yeah.

Thirteen Reasons Why is about Clay who receives a box full of cassette tapes on his doorstep. On these tapes, Clay hears the voice of Hannah Barker, a girl who killed herself not long before that; the first girl that he loved. According to Hannah, these tapes are the reasons that she killed herself, the people who made her want to kill herself. And if Clay listens to all of them, he'll hear why he's on there.

(view spoiler)[When Clay finally arrives at his story, it turns out he is not at all 'to blame' for Hannah's suicide, which I found a bit odd. Why include him then? It was the noly part of the story that didn't make sense to me, why make all this fuzz about thirteen reasons - thirteen people - being to blame for Hannah's suicide and then say that Clay had nothing to do with it? Hmpff. (hide spoiler)]

I thought it was a very strong book, because it talks about subjects that I had very close encounters with. I myself am depressed, have been ever since I got bullied and lost all my friends in high school, and I don't think I'll ever really get over it; I personally never had suicidal thoughts though, or let's put it this way - not in the way Hannah and probably thousands if not millions of other people on this planet have/had. I do know people who had that, but luckily I've never lost any of them (at least, not to suicide).

I liked Clay as a character, and Tony as well (I have to admit I pictured him as a younger Tony Stark, but that is all because of the name). There was one thing I was confused about, and that was Tony's role in all this. (view spoiler)[I mean apparently he and Hannah had been friends at school, but I don't know she never mentioned him in all this, and I didn't even know that he was going to Clay's school until he said it near the end of the story. Yeah it wasn't really necessary for this to be mentioned in the book, but it kind of came out of nowhere, idk. (hide spoiler)]

The book was written really well, and I found myself unable to put it down - I wanted to know all the reasons Hannah decided to kill herself and I wanted to know it now. What I also liked was that apparently, Hannah's tape have been recorded by someone and are available to listen to on hannahsreasons.blogspot.com. I haven't done it myself, but I might do it soon now that I've finished the book.

In the end, I enjoyed this book - even though it felt weird to read about someone who had killed herself, and I really liked Clay as a character. I recommend this book to people who 'like' stories about depression and suicide (okay not like, but... You know what I mean). Just read it, okay!

And to all those people out there who are depressed and/or are having suicidal thoughts: Talk to someone, someone you know you can trust. Go to a doctor, a friend at school, a guidance councellor at school (idk if you have those at your school). Just talk to someone, okay? There are people out there who care about you, don't forget that!

I don't think I need to write a review on this guy right here, but I'm gonna say this, it's very beautiful simply written short and very thrilling, it's very good especially if you're a beginner at English books.
BUT as you probably know it's all about issues as suicide rape and depression, so if you're suffering from ANY simple problem reagrding these, THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT BOOK FOR YOU!

Victoria

I absolutely loved it. Painfully real and sad.

** spoiler alert **
           Not much to say on this since I’ve watched the series. Enjoyed the book i probably wouldn’t recommend it but it was decent. It was quite short and it felt like nothing rlly happened bcse it was Clay Jensen listening to Hannah Bakers (the main character) tapes and the book ended with him talking to Skye. She also committed suicide with pills in the book unlike the series. 

Negatives:
. it was short
. It makes suicid look supreme and amazing
. There was absolutely no point for Clay to be on the tapes in the book she didn’t even explain her reason 
. Tony didn’t deserve the fact that she included him

Megan O’Connod

This book was an emotional rollercoaster. It is one of my favourites I've read all year. It was long overdue and I should have read it sooner. 10/10 recommend
