This book talks about bullying and teen ager's life and obstacles. 13 reasons why is about a girl that kills herself because of 13 reasons and she makes 13 cassette tapes and send them to the people responsible for her death. This book is a great book because it teaches you that words and actions that you think are fun, could really hurt people and that if you see someone that needs your help, dont hesistate because you could do a difference in someone's life without even knowing.

There's a movie in production based on this, right? It isn't often that you can delve into the mind of someone else, so this sounds interesting. -Rachana B. (per. 7/8)
ReplyDeleteThis book seems really interesting! It seems dark, yet teaches a good lesson. I'm eager to read the book to see the people's reactions who received the tapes. I wonder if they'll really regret their words, or be completely heartless and not care.

This sounds like a great book because usually people don't think about what they say. Most of the time the words coming out of people's mouth a cruel and painful. In addition, People sometimes take certain things the wrong way. That is why it is very important for people to think of all the consequences to their actions before they do or say anything that may upset anyone and cause them to commit suicide. I want to read this book to find out why the main character cared about what other people said or did to her.

I heard of this book before and it seems really interesting. It's amazing how simple words and actions can justify people's insecurities and lead to such drastic measures. It makes me wonder how many things people have joked about really hurt others? -Chynelle M. (Period 7/8)
ReplyDeleteI read this book in the beginning of the year and absolutely loved it! It's one of those books that really makes you think after you finish reading it. Also, the ending is not very specific, which requires a mature readership. I hope this comes out as a (good) movie! -Emily P. Period 3
ReplyDeleteThis book was very interesting to read. It really opens up the eyes of people and can make people relate to the main character. It makes people think twice about their actions and words. And shows what you do can really affect a person's life and future.

This book was very good. It's cool and strange about hearing her story and how it gets passed to everyone on her list. The Future of Us by Jay Asher was another good book her wrote. Jackie M. (period 2)
ReplyDeleteMy friend recommended this book to me. It looks really interesting. It seems like it has really good themes behind the plot as well. I've never read a book by this author but I look forward to trying out this book!

I've heard of this book before, and recommended to read it. It sounds so sad... yet very intriguing. I'll probably check it out, because now I'm going to be wondering what happens. Also, the mesage it sends sounds very powerful.

I read this book before and I feel like I can read it over and over again. It teaches meaningful life lessons. With a plot a bit on the strange side, I like how it portrays the power behind simple words.

This book look really interesting and provides a first hand experience into a world wide epidemic known as bullying. Though the sad reality is that people do end up commiting suicide it will interesting to see what is going on in the victim's mind during this moment.

I started reading this book last year but I never got around to finishing it. When I first started reading it, it caught my eye because the plot relates to several high school girls who are bullied, and it teaches a lesson to the reader about how words can really hurt, and it demonstrates how people shouldn't care about what others think of them because there are always going to be careless people out there. It is also interesting because it is a mystery.

I read this book and it was great! You really learn how you can really affect a person's life.

I've heard that this book is a must read! It seems so mysterious and creepy yet exciting in a way that would make me not want to put it down once I begin it. It's extremely heartbreaking that she had to kill herself. I'm very curious to see what led to her death. -- Sreya A Period 7/8
ReplyDeleteThis seems so sad! But it still sounds like such a good book. I could never imagine receiving a cassette tape like that. Hopefully the people in the book all learn their lesson! I really want to read this book now because it seems like it would really be an eye opener. Kristen Connolly (period 3)
ReplyDeleteI never read this book but I've seen it a couple times and each time I want to read it even more. Those people that the letters got sent to must have felt absolutely horrible, it's sad that this kind of thing is also realistic and not just made up for a story. I'm definitely going to read this book soon, and I feel it'd be really interesting if there is indeed a movie made out of it as Rachana mentioned previously. --Amanda Evans Period 4
ReplyDeleteI read this book last summer because all of my friends told how great that book was. I really liked it because it makes you want to read more to know what is going to happen. It is a great book but it is very sad
ReplyDeleteI heard about this book, and from what I can tell from its summery, it seems like a good read. I love the message that you interpreted from the book. I look forward to reading it!

I've heard about this book many time. The first time I heard of this book was in fifth grade during a book report. I've always wanted to read this book. It's sounds sad though. This book will definitely be added to my summer reading list. I can't wait to read it.

I haven't read this book, but this sounds really touching. We generally tend not to think about our actions too much, and it's kind of surprising to see the impact they have on people. Planning on reading it this summer!
