Review and My Thoughts *Spoilers*
Overall, I enjoyed this book! I started listening to it on audio book but became impatient so I picked up the physical book!
On the positive note I found the plot very interesting, although very depressing. The time and detail Hannah put into these tapes was amazing. The map leading from place to place I thought was one of the best parts. Rosie's Diner sounds like the coolest, place ever!
Tony was my favorite character in this book. I loved how caring and gentle he was when Clay was listening the tapes. He let Clay steal his Walkman. He drove Clay around as he listened to the tapes, crying and wishing to change the past. What got me is Tony wasn't even involved in Hannah's story, yet he still helped her. Hannah gave Tony the second set of tapes and he made sure everyone else listened to the tapes. He could have just threw out the tapes and never looked back yet he kept him. He was loyal to someone he never knew.
Although I enjoyed the book and plot, Hannah Baker herself kind of annoyed me. I may get hate for this opinion but she did. I get where she was coming from, she did have it rough. Suicide was not the best decision, it never is. She didn't try to get help which irritated me. Yes she went and talked to that teacher, but she shut him out. She was telling him about the situation between her and Bryce. He gave her three options and she said no to all of them and left. He tried to help her but she pushed him away. That really frustrated me.
Anyway, I did enjoy this book. It was a very quick read. I personally think this is a great book for teenagers to read. It deals with many topics that many high school students face, alcohol, bullying, rape etc.
