Guided Response... Review

After finishing Thirteen Reasons Why in a way I found myself wanting to find out what happened between Clay and Skye. Since that wasn't an option, I settled for just thinking about what the purpose of the book was. The novel at first didn't really captivate me as I thought it would. It took a little bit to get into. Once I was within 50 pages in on the book I certainly didn't want to put it down. I started thinking about if this were one of my friends how would I feel, or would I actually follow the map and listen to the tapes as closely as Clay did. In all honesty I truly feel that I would. I would certainly want to know what happened to my friend and if there is a possible hidden message somewhere that I might catch that no one else did. I felt kind of sorry for Clay because he did have such high feelings for Hannah but never really broke out of his shell to take it further. So I was thinking that maybe he felt if he would have spoken to her sooner than maybe she might still be alive. I also thought about my friends who have recently died and what they might have been thinking before they took their own lives. This was a very good book once it finally got started. I wouldn't mind reading another book by Jay Asher just hope it's something that grabs me before I'm a quarter into it.
