Thirteen reasons why

Thirteen reasons why is an amazing book. I have read over half of the book in one night. It is about a young girl who commited suicide and left tapes for 13 people. The tapes are to be passed from one jerk to another. I call them jerks because they are the reasons that the young girl killed herself.
    Clay is the first boy. He is the one that has the tapes right now. So everything is from his perspective. He is not in the book so far but he is fearing that he will be jerk number thirteen. Whoever is number thirteen, can "take the book to hell," says Hanna in the tapes. Clay has learned about everyone's secrets. People that he knows and people that he thought he knew. Clay is a boy who had a huge crush on Hanna but never had the guts to do anything about it. I feel bad for Clay because he seems like he would never do anything wrong or mean to Hanna but feels punished for something bad because his name has yet to be revealed.
     That is all I will say so far. Next blog I will inform you on so much more. It is getting soooo good though!

Free Choice:LIAR

Liar. Yeah, that pretty much sums it all up. I was so fastinated by this book and really fell for it. Now, it is getting really confusing. I am very upset with it and if I did not have to read it, honestly I would have quit by now. Micah, the liar, is trying to convince me that she is a "werewolf" now. Talk about shocking! I am so upset with this whole book and I am trying very hard to stay interested in it, but I feel like I am losing the book. Like, every page I read I am not comprehending it, my eyes just scan the words.

At first, I could not put it down and was having a hard time not stopping, but now I cannot even get into it anymore. I think it is because I was not expecting it. I was expecting something like a regular teenager not some science fiction stuff. It does make it a little more interesting but I still have not caught on yet.

I am still on the fence with either likeing or hating Micah. I dont think that there should be an in between but now that everythign has changed, I am in the middle. I have not read a whole lot more of the book, but it would not suprise me if the truth was that Micah killed Zach or that one weird boy who keeps following her. It is hard to keep up with all of her lies though, which still makes it fun to read but I still do not like the whole "I'm a werewolf" thing. I think that she is lying about that part big time. But I will just have to read and let you know.
