Well, for one: this isn’t a masterpiece as many claim it to be.
To quote the book’s back cover: “ You can’t stop the future. Complete with a map, Clay follows her ghostly instructions across town and reveals bit by bit the tragic mistakes that caused Hannah Baker’s suicide. And to his shock, on them are audio recordings of the deceased Hannah Baker, who discusses thirteen people (one of whom happen to be our main character) whose actions are the reason for taking her life. Two weeks after the death of a teenage girl named Hannah Baker, our protagonist-named Clay Jensen-returns home to find a mysterious package filled with cassette tapes.
And after whole decade since being published and its Netflix series being praised, here is the “Thirteen Reasons Why” Deluxe Tenth Anniversary Edition, complete with the original ending Jay Asher almost went for in his debut book. Nobody can look in the teen section of a bookstore without finding “Thirteen Reasons Why” on the shelves. As clichéd as it is to say, I do remember reading this back in high school, and really enjoyed the premise as well as the twists and turns given in Jay Asher’s iconic novel “Thirteen Reasons Why”.įrom becoming #1 on the New York Times bestselling List for a while to becoming a Netflix Original series with Selena Gomez, Jay Asher’s novel has become a staple of young adult literature.
