Journal Entry 1 by fireyfairy from Fort Wayne, Indiana USA on Thursday, December 09, 2010

This is the audiobook version. The other BCID is for the paper version. They are traveling together for this bookring.

I love this book. It really spoke to me. I don't want to say TOO much about it and ruin any of it for the bookring participants who will be getting it. I would like to know what you guys think of it though. Please post your reactions as you finish it? Thank you!

Also, PM me when you need the person's address to send it on to. If they haven't already given me their address, and I can't get in touch with them, we'll move to the next person. Everyone signed up lives in the US, so nobody has to worry about international shipping. Please try to only keep it a week or two and then get it moving along.

I received the book and Audio CD the other day but just realized that the CD portion had it's own ID#. Looking forward to this story. I'll probably end up bawling during it. I cry easily.

Received this with its hardcover copy in today's mail. I'll probably read the majority of the book via audio. Can't wait to start! 

Journal Entry 10 by indygo88 at Lafayette, Indiana USA on Wednesday, May 25, 2011

If nothing else, this is a very powerful book. It's written for the young adult genre, but is just as easily appreciated by a middle-aged adult such as myself. A teenage boy (Clay) finds a package on his doorstep addressed to him. Inside the package is a set of cassette tapes recorded by a classmate. That classmate committed suicide two weeks previously, and her voice on the tapes tell of the thirteen reasons why she decided to do it -- and Clay is one of those reasons. If he listens to the tapes, he'll find out why.

I give this book a high rating largely because of the uniqueness of this plotline. It sucks you in and you can't stop reading until the end. I haven't read a book this quickly in a long time. Regardless of your thoughts on suicide & its validity, this book will make you think. And you'll find yourself continuining to think for quite some time after finishing it.

This audiobook arrived home today after several months of traveling in the bookring. I really hope everyone who participated in the 13 Reasons Why bookring enjoyed it and came away a more enriched BookCrosser. :D Thanks so much for being part of this bookring: it went off without a hitch.
