My Favorite Book

There are several books I would love to call "my favorite", but since I have a choice of one, 13 Reasons Why written by Jay Asher, would be the best out of the rest. The novel had captivated my mind in many ways. Each page could lead the reader anxious and impatient to figure out the outcome of the complications taking place in the story. By reading this book, it was very easy to put myself in the main character's shoes, due to the descriptive text the author had presented. The story begins with a boy named Clay, who receives an anonymous package filled with several cassette tapes. Being curious, he begins to slowly listen to the recordings, with voices running through his ears. A girl named Hannah, whom he had a crush on, had committed suicide two weeks before receiving the package. The recordings were the voice of Hannah, explaining thirteen reasons why she wanted to commit suicide. Knowing that Clay could be one of those reasons made him fall into deep thoughts, as he listened to the cassette tapes one by one. The story portrays how abuse, bullying, teasing, and misunderstanding had lead a teenage girl to commit suicide. When I reached the final page, it made me think about all the things in life I would like to achieve today, because tommorow could be too late. I would consider this my favorite also because it can have an impact towards the reader and get them to think more about their lives.
