"I hope you're ready, because I'm about to tell you the story of my life. More specifically, why my life ended. And if you're listening to these tapes, you're one of the reasons why." 
 This wrenched my heart into thousand pieces. Literally. And now, it will take an awful amount of time to glue them up. 
 This made me a huge, massive fan of Jay Asher. When I first fished it out from a pile of books. I was a bit skeptical, thinking that it will be disturbing or depressing since it relates with teen problems, but now after reading it I am glad that I chose this one. 
 This book shows how the simplest of deeds can lead into something massive.Good and Bad. Unfortunately, in this case, it takes a sad turn.In this books, the teens very much ordinary yet extraordinary choose to turn their mistakes into lessons of life. 
 I love Clay, the way he obeys Hannah last requests, all the while learning from the mistakes of her life. Coming to Hannah, just one thing, "She inspired me, she gave me strength, she gave me hope, she taught me how life throws you a thousand miles apart from your goal, but finally you've got to stand up and walk again. You just can't withdraw" 
 Literally, if words work wonders, than this one certainly did. I was astounded by the beautiful composition of the story, like the very characters were living, their hearts beating inside the very pages. I am definitely proud of Jay, the way his debut novel had so much effect on the readers.It is really an important read for teens, and especially the queen bees, popularity seekers of high school and all those guys who think that ALWAYS joking around or making fun of others or gigving them the title of "class-clown" is cool. Because it is NOT! 
 Happy reading! Enjoy what you read!
