Get your book fix with 'Thirteen Reasons Why'

Firstly sorry for the lack of posts (I know you've been on the edge of your seats ;) ) 

I read Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher after frantically searching the old inter-web for a book that will get me hooked and that I will read in one sitting. (It was one of them moods.) 

Thirteen Reasons Why kept popping up (even on goodreads a great site for bookworms needing a fix) and the plot intrigues me!

The story starts with the narrator Clay Jenson finding a package with 13 tapes on it... these tapes turn out to be from his ex-class mate Hannah Baker who recently committed suicide. Each tape reveals one (or several) reasons that led to Hannah's suicide. 

Asher uses Hannah and Clay's dual narration to capture Hannah's struggle towards her suicide. 

As you can imagine it's a slightly heavy read!

What the book does fantastically is remind us that you never know what’s going on in a person's head and how one careless (or horrifically cruel) incident can have terrible consequences.

I couldn't put the book down and had to find out what drove Hannah to her heartbreaking conclusion. What’s also great is it’s one of them books that you get a sense of achievement from reading and you feel you have a pure nugget of gold from reading it. (Am I the only one who gets this?)

But- on the down side it is not the best written book in the world and the story definitely does the talking over the style.

In saying this I would definitely recommend- I read it in two sittings which I think speaks for itself!
