1. The whole book was about Hannah Baker, and the thirteen reasons why she killed herself. Clay was the other main character who told you the story of himself, and Hannah Baker as he listened to the tapes that she left which the reasons on it. Clay turned out to be the only good one that was on the tape. The other 12 people were the people that made her want to kill herself even more by each thing they did.
2. I liked the book because it was kind of a mystery until the end. I could never put it down because I would always want to know what would happen next. I found a lot of things throughout the book really surprising. I liked the shock I felt when ever something new came up. I would like to read another book like this again.
3. The theme in the book is forgiveness because the whole point of Hannah's tapes are to forgive the people that did all of the bad stuff to her. Also, Clay has to forgive himself for letting Hannah go, and move on with his life.
4. My favorite character in the book was Clay because in the tapes, Hannah described him as perfect. But, the truth was, he really was perfect in every way. He was very nice. I also liked him because he helped Hannah in a positive way even though she pushed him away. He could never hurt a fly.
5. My least favorite character was Jason because he was the whole reason that Hannah began thinking about suicide. The things he did in the beginning of the book led up to more things. She called it the "snowball effect". Without him in the book, Hannah would have been still alive.
6. The ending was kind of predictable, but it also surprised me as well. I would have liked if it told more chapters about Clay after he listened to the tapes because it only shows how he is a day before. I wanted to see how it effected his whole life. However, this was one of my favorite books to read and I enjoyed it greatly.
