Review: Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher
Hi readers:
SYNOPSIS:
Clay Jensen returns home from school to find a mysterious
box with his name on it lying on his porch. Inside he discovers 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.
CRITICISM:
Let’s start
talking about Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher. At the begging of the book the
first pages are very confusing, but then when we start reading and we get what
the writer eanted to make in there. I liked the book it has a good plot and
good characters and it makes you feel everything that author wanted you to
feel, the emotions of the characters, but the thing I didn´t like at all was
the way that the actuall book was written, I really don´t know if the ebook I
read was incorrect or that the way that writer wanted it to be, I will explain
myself;
The books
has to different POVs. Why that confused me you may ask? Well the book is
written like this:
I was in
the party drinking and having fun.
I´m walking
in the park then I almost fell.
I was like; What! Weren´t you in the party! But then I realized that every sentence is one
different POV or every paragraph, so that confused a lot. And the worst of the
things is that you have to figure out who is really talking.
Now let’s
talk about the about the book, the main topic of the book is Suicide and
Bullying. So it is not a book for everyone, especially if you are sensitive to
this topics then please don´t read it. The plot or the storyline is very genuine,
and I think is almost the way that John Green writes, but John Green is more romantic
and humoristic, this book is more harsh in the main topic.
I give this
4 OUT OF 5
STARS
