Thirteen Reasons Why

I don't like this book. I really wanted to like it, but I honestly consider it to be one of the worst books I've ever read. Parts of it I definitely enjoyed, but the general story I didn't like at all.I feel like it's a dangerous concept, mostly because it seems to imply that people commit suicide as a kind of revenge or as some kind of goal. There's no doubt that this has happened at some point, but in 90% of all cases there's no tangible list of “reasons”. A lot of parts seem silly and unrealistic. [a:David Foster Wallace 4339 David Foster Wallace https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1466019433p2/4339.jpg] (who eventually killed himself) has a great quote about suicidal people. He compares it to people who jump out of burning buildings. “It's not desiring the fall; it's terror of the flames.” Those weren't my only problems with the book. It's too contrived. A lot of things are just a little too convenient. This is a book that glamorizes suicide. It trivializes life. I think Beth's review about sums up my thoughts on this book:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/202639713?book_show_action=true. Would not recommend to anyone.
