Nonetheless, the negative press didn’t prevent the second season of the program from being a success, and anticipation for season 3 has been high. Worse yet, a study was revealed earlier this year that claimed to find a correlation between teens watching 13 Reasons Why and an increase in suicide rates.

In some schools, even just talk of the series was banned and other schools banned the book from their libraries outright. The series was an immediate hit for Netflix, but with that success came a great deal of pushback from parents and concerned citizens who felt the series glorified teen suicide. The dramatic teen series has had more than its share of controversy since kicking off back in 2017, and if season 2 was any indication, there’s still plenty more to come.īased on author Jay Asher’s 2007 YA novel of the same name, 13 Reasons Why explored the challenging and often very dark side of teen life by delving into issues such as bullying, rape, drug and alcohol abuse and ultimately, suicide. I felt that even though it deals with suicide, it does send out a positive message.ĭue to the major theme and some sexual scenes, I'd recommend this book to those aged 16 who want to read something realistic.Netflix's 13 Reasons Why is renewed for season 4, which will be the show's last, and a season 3 premiere date is officially announced. Overall, Thirteen Reasons Why is a very different but interesting book. Other then that, Wiseman and Johnstone were superb! Johnstone's voice sounded just a tad bit too old for Clay's age in my opinion. However, I had imagined Clay to sound a bit different. I think they both portrayed emotions really well.
Debra Wiseman really brings the character of Hannah alive, and Joel Johnstone does the same for Clay. Usually, the narrator's of audiobooks tend to annoy me, but Debra Wiseman and Joel Johnstone did an excellent job. There is a few swear words, but the swearing is only mild.
Being that this is a book about a girl's suicide, the dialogue does mention that as well as rape and another sexual situation. The dialogue flows freely and smoothly as well. The characters actually sounded their age and not like an adult trying to write YA characters. The dialogue worked for a young adult book. Clay came across as a nice guy (and Hannah even said he was), but I just would've liked to know more about him. However, as time went on, I felt that Hannah became too selfish, not because of her suicide, but just by what she said on the tapes. I think the characters were written fairly well. I also think the plot sends a great message about how we shouldn't judge anyone because we don't know what that person has gone through or is going through. It was interesting to find out the way certain people contributed to Hannah's depression. Clay is trying to think of all the times he was around Hannah and wondering why he'd be on the tapes. Hannah make a cassette tape for each of the thirteen people that she felt contributed to her committing suicide. There were only a few times where the pacing slowed a bit, but it didn't stay slow for very long. I couldn't wait to find out what was going to happen on the next tape. The world building fits with what high school was like, at least when I was a teenager. I find it hard to believe that no one would follow the instructions left on the tapes that Hannah made, but I suppose it could happen. I'm not really a big fan of the cover if I'm honest although I don't know what I'd like to see on the cover.
I also had quite a few credits on Audible to use, so I thought I'd use one to purchase this book. I came across this book on Amazon when I was adding books to my wishlist, and I thought it sounded interesting.
