Thirteen Reasons Why

Thirteen Reasons Why is a book about a young high school aged girl who ended up taking her life.  She then came up with 13 reasons why she committed suicide.  The boy who is telling the story is telling his perspective of the situation.  He goes through the days wondering why he was on the list and what he did to contribute to her death.  She sent a box of tapes to everyone who was involved in her suicide and she explain wit great detail why they got the tapes and how they made her make this decision.  This boy had absolutely no idea why he was on this list, so he was really interested as to why everyone else was on it.  After listening to everyone else's reasons he still couldn't this of any other reasons for him to be on the list.  I think this book is good because you really have to pay attention to what the book is saying because it switches back and forth from the boy talking or thinking from the girl in the tapes.  This book is very hard to put down and the farther you read the harder it is to stop.
