That… was an excellent book. Very fucked-up. I like fucked-up books.
#thirteen reasons why#I like how Jay Asher thanked thirteen people at the end of the book… nice touch. The PDF I have screwed up the formatting though#I wouldn’t say it romanticizes suicide… it sensationalizes it; which is a topic worthy of its own discourse#Typically most people who kill themselves don’t go out of their way to play games with those who survive them#But it’s a thriller; and it offers an interesting perspective that many don’t get to hear#I feel like Asher was laying it on a little too thick with tragedy towards the end in a way that seemed slightly contrived… like Loss#Otherwise it was well-constructed#I feel like most high schools don’t have that much drama and illegal activity going on in them; but! I was isolated all through school#so don’t take my word on that#People also just… didn’t mess with me? And if they did they backed off real fucking fast because I found ways to unsettle them#and — depending on how much I disliked any particular assailant — I would drag out the process for months#Anyway… enough about my middle school exploits (why am I frothing at the mouth over this? Get a grip… you’re an adult.)#Good book. I like it. I shouldn’t read stuff about characters messing with people; because I like messing with people#and LORD ALMIGHTY it makes me want to mess with people#I should have been a secret agent (not really. I’d rather kill myself that join the CIA. Fuck them)
