13 Reasons Why

By Jay Asher

The "Why" to Reading 13 Reasons Why

Here are some samples from the book. Samples that I believe, will give you an unerstanding of just how powerful and important this book really is.

"Hey, it's Hannah. Hannah Baker. That's right. Don't adjust your...whatever device you're hearing this on. It's me, live and in stereo. No return engagements, no encore, and this time, absolutely no requests. Get a snack. Settle in. Because I'm about to tell you the story of my life. More specifically, why my life ended. And if you're listening to this tape you're one of the reasons why. I'm not saying which tape brings you into the story. But fear not, if you received this lovely little box, your name will pop up. I promise."

“A lot of you cared, just not enough.”

“I'm listening to someone give up. Someone I knew—someone I liked. I'm listening... but still, I'm too late.”

“Because I've heard so many stories that I don't know which one is the most popular. But I do know which is the least popular. The truth.”
