Wow! Just. Wow! I wasn't going to read this book because it just wasn't really my thing, but this book was just amazing.

'Thirteen Reasons Why' tells the story of Clay Jensen, a high school student who receives a box of audiotapes narrated by Hannah Baker, the girl he had a crush on. Hannah has recently committed suicide. As Clay listens to the role that thirteen people (including him) led in the ultimate death of Hannah, his view of the world (and himself) changes drastically. What he hears frightens him, disturbs him, and, in the end, leads him to realizations that he never would have expected.

You will be thinking about this book long after you've turned the last page.
