For my novel of choice I am reading Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher. I chose this book because I’ve owned it for a long time, but I have never gotten around to reading it. It seems like a very good book and so I figured now is the time to read it. From what I understand, it’s about a girl who committed suicide. She makes a tape for the thirteen people who she says made her kill herself and on the tape she tells each person what they did to her. I feel that my novel of choice compares to the other three books we have read in class because it has to do with death which has been a topic in the novels. I’m taking a guess with this, but my novel could deal with growing up because it may make some of the thirteen people on the tape realize what they have done and how immature those things may be. I think that if growing up is a part of this novel then it‘ll make relating it with the other books very easy. I really hope that my book is as good as I’m hoping for and that it does not disappoint me.

I have actually read this book, and I enjoyed it. Not to spoil anything but it doesn't have that much to do with growing up, but I can see how you could slightly make a reference to it. The book is a bit slow at times and can drag on, but the ending is a twist you won't expect. Also I agree that you can relate the book to the other three that we've read because it does have to do with death. The whole book is centered around one person, who you never get to know while she's actually alive. You learn all about this girl after she committed suicide. The book I believe really opens your eyes to how your words and actions can affect others without you even realizing it. Overall I thought this book was a decent read when I read it. It has its ups and downs and twists in the novel that you won’t expect.
