Reading 10/31/11
I am reading the book "Thirteen Reasons Why" its about a guy who finds a box of cassette tapes in his mail, an on the tapes is a girl from his class who explains why she commited suicide. The tapes start at one person and then tell the person who has them who to pass them onto next. This is sad book, because of the way this girl planned all of these tapes and rules out before she over dosed. From what I read of her talking in the tapes she seems like a really nice girl who you'd think wouldn't let things bother her, but the sad thing is it did. The tapes create another side and story to bullying and rumors, but they are also said in such a way that the way she tells her stories creates a light mood and not an extremely depressing one. I can't wait to keep reading this book and find out where the tapes go next.

My first impression was, "what a horrible thing to do to someone". It is true that we are often unaware of how our actions will touch someone else. I think we should all be more aware of those around us.
ReplyDeleteWow, this book seems very depressing and at the same time it sounds crazy. I mean I wouldn't want to plan on how I die or when. Life is hard and no one said life was easy, you just have to life day by day and learn how to deal with situations in your life. I actually would like to read this book.
