Aunque es un libro que le gustó a muchas personas en mi opinión no tendría porque. Es un libro que habla del suicidio, la violacion y el acoso escolar de una forma un poco turbia.

<blockquote><b><i>“You can't stop the future You can't rewind the past The only way to learn the secret ...is to press play.”</i></b></blockquote>I liked this book but it wasn't the mindblowing book I was expecting. Yes, it was sad and I enjoyed the approach to depression, suicide and other important themes - it shows that it's tiny little moments that undermines someone's mind and will, and your actions have consequences, no matter how unimportant you think they are. I felt for Hannah so many times during this book and my heart broke for her. There were times when she was clearly crying out for help and no one 'cared' or listened. Clay just annoyed me a lot, though. He was constantly mulling over his feelings for Hannah, how HE was feeling and a little bit judgmental of Hannah and her decisions & thoughts. I really want to check out the tv series, though, because I watched the first episode and enjoyed it a lot (also, I liked Clay better in that version). Actual rating: 3.5 stars

I liked the premise of Jay Asher's YA novel "Thirteen Reasons Why," but, alas, I was slightly disappointed with the story. A teenage girl commits suicide, but before downing a bottle of pills, she cleverly decides to record her voice and mail off audiotapes to 13 unsuspecting listeners, people who she feels are responsible for her untimely demise. This novel was written 10 years ago, an era before smartphones and social media. So the use of a vintage form of technology playing a key role in the narrative is not only cool but nostalgic. Two main characters exchange dialogue this way. This novel has now been adapted into a smash hit series for the streaming service juggernaut known as Netflix. I'm on the fence about binge-watching it. Anyway, back to the story. The main character, Hannah Baker, just annoyed me. I know that comes across as callous or insensitive, but she just did. Clay Jensen, her would be savior, is more likeable and engaging. He actually makes the story worth reading. On a serious note, I didn't like the way this novel eschews accountability. It didn't glorify teen suicide, but no one owned up to his/her mistakes and there was little to no consequences, other than another teen suicide. I don't really know how to combat the scourge that is teen suicide. Compassion, understanding and the willingness of the suffering individual to seek help might be a start, though. Anyway, as always, that is all.
