My last blog entry

Why should a pretty teenager like Hannah Barker commits suicide? Who or what are the 13 reasons of her suicide? This are the questions which Jay Asher, the author of the novel "Thirty reasons why" answer.

The U.S. author Jay Asher is born on 30th September 1975 and writes novels for teens. He has a five year old children called Isaiah Nathan.His most popular novel is "Thirty reason why" which is written on 2007.Another novel which he writes is "The Future of Us".

The novel is about the teenager Hannah Barker records 13 tapes about the reasons of her suicide and send the tapes to this persons. So Clay Jensen gets the box with the tapes. In the course of time he understands why she commits suicide and it turns out that Clay and Hannah has feelings to each other.

In my opinion it is a good book to understand how little things like rumours can start bigger things which finally end in a disaster. Furthermore the book shows how cruel students can be to each other.
The book is easy to understand and the topic is really interesting. Although a few reasons aren't to my mind really reason to commit suicide like Marcus Cooley's part. But it's on some passages a little bit difficult to understand, because Hannah's voice and Clay's thoughts are behind each other.

But to summing up it is a good book to read it with a class or in free time.
