The Lost Challenges discussion

Clay Jensen returns home from school to find a mysterious box with his name on it lying on his porch. Inside he discovers thirteen cassette tapes recorded by Hannah Baker, his classmate and crush who committed suicide two weeks earlier.

On tape, Hannah explains that there are thirteen reasons why she decided to end her life. Clay is one of them. If he listens, he'll find out how he made the list.

Through Hannah and Clay's dual narratives, debut author Jay Asher weaves an intricate and heartrending story of confusion and desperation that will deeply affect teen readers.

I hope I am not the only one on this one. I got it on audio

You're not the only one :) I'm going to start tonight and I have it on audio too.

Oh I can't start tonight. I still got 7 hours of Kate Daniels left.
But maybe monday, if you can wait that long

I can wait that long. Maybe I can get it to fit in one of my team challenges :)

Which Kate are you reading? I've only read up to Magic Strikes. They keep getting better and better.

I'm on . It just came out on 7/30. But work is busy (im still at work)

I am going to try and read this book

Woo hoo

I read Thirteen Reasons Why a few years ago and I thought it was amazing. It's one of those books that make you think twice about bullying.

This is such a wonderful book!

:)

I have to see if my library has it

I loved this book when I read it a couple years ago and recommended it to many of my library's patrons. It was a very distressing but thought-provoking book. I put The Future of Us by him on my TBR but haven't gotten around to reading it yet.

I am sorry to say but if Hannah had time to make tapes, copies and a scavenger hunt of sorts including a map...couldn't she get help from a professional?
It's almost like her suicide is meant to punish them for not saving her

I didn't like this book. I feel bad this girl was in pain, but narration seems self-indulgent and mean spirited. Like she wants to scare her tormentors by killing herself. So her death is her ultimate revenge and victory over them. It just isn't enjoyable.

If Hannah had time to do all this, why couldn't she do something positive to get herself help?
