Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher is a cryptic, acute book that deals with the cassette tapes of Hannah Baker's reasons for suicide. The lurid tapes are extracted to people on her special list of names that she either blames or possess a distinct relevance to the time period around her reasoning. One of the protagonists, Clay Jensen, an average teenage boy who has always been very fond of Hannah, one day comes home to detect a box of these enigmatic tapes on his porch. He then decides to take a listen, where he finds it's the voice of the one and only, Hannah Baker, who as you know, recently committed suicide. As Clay Jensen is taken on this monumental adventure, hearkening on the dense, breathtaking occurrences of Hannah's life, he finds himself drifting into her life story further and further, waiting to hear his name and her reasoning of why he is apart of this befoul list. There are thirteen people and thirteen reasons for her death and as Clay listens relentlessly into the alarming thoughts and feelings she foretells of for each person on her list, he encounters the overwhelming convergence of affinity and neglect for not desisting these occurrences from happening. My thoughts on Thirteen Reasons Why are sporadic; it's hard to fathom the mysterious justice of Jay Asher's writing. The plot is very captivating and leaves a morbid feeling of Hannah as a person as she takes you through her grim past with just her voice and a map. The ghastly suspense of the concept administers a vile vibe that pervades the entire book as you read it, but considering the fact it does pertain to the atrocious interpretation of a girl killing herself, it's makes sense that it leads on the honest, disheartening topic of the reality of suicide. After reading it, I found myself lost in a pool of emotion and questions because of the very open-ended conclusion to the story which sort of bothered me, but also just added to its magnitude. It's a paralyzing read that focuses on how one mishap can form an entire chain reaction of catastrophic afflictions in a person's life. I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for an extraordinary, engrossing read that keeps you on the edge of your seat, acquiring to know more of this earth-shattering tale.
