I finished listening to Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher. I wanted to read/listen to the book before watching the new show on Netflix. I will be watching the first episode on Friday. I have heard alot about this book, but I thought it wasn't the book for me. But since they are making a tv show about it, I decided to read it. This book is great and it really affected me. I was bullied in school. I think her experience was worse than mine. (I know it's a fictional book.) I did have suicidal thoughts, but I never attempted on it because of my best friend. I wouldn't want to leave her behind. This book is very sad, but all I can say is wow. Thirteen Reasons Why is about a teenage boy named Clay Jensen who gets a package in the mail of cassette tapes. The package has no return address. Curious, he listens to one. The tapes are made by a girl named Hannah Baker. She had committed suicide and the tapes were her reasons why. Clay was in love with her. After listening to the book, I wonder what happens next. I just looked up and Netflix is going to make another season of the show. I'm now listening to The Alexandra Link by Steve Berry.

I watched the series and it was well done but there were a lot of scenes I could not watch because of the realistic content which I thought were not necessary. I will not watch season two.

I have never used a tape to read a book. I prefer the printed one.

Yes there will be another season,I am thinking it will deal with a school shooting. That's what the show looked like it was leading up to.

I love my audio books from the library. It sounds interesting, my daughter lives in an are when she can't get TV so she watches Netflix on her computer. She showed me a show I wanted to see when she was here for Mother's Day weekend. So cool!!!
