About this listen
Clay spends the night crisscrossing his town with Hannah as his guide. He becomes a first-hand witness to Hannah's pain, and learns the truth about himself - a truth he never wanted to face.
©2007 Jay Asher (P)2007 Random House, Inc. Listening Library, an imprint of the Random House Audio Publishing GroupWhat the critics say
“[Hannah’s] pain is gut-wrenchingly palpable.... Asher has created an entrancing character study and a riveting look into the psyche of someone who would make this unfortunate choice. A brilliant and mesmerizing debut from a gifted new author.” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review and Editor’s Choice)
“Heavy but compelling.... Asher’s novel asks us to look at how petty cruelty can deal crushing blows.” (Miami Herald)
“It is a brilliant debut that will leave readers feeling a sense of remorse for Hannah, guilt for Clay, and hope for the lasting lesson of the story.” (Bookazine)

Nice voice over performance
love both narrators for Hannah and Clays perspectives. Wish there is more to Clay's and Hannah's story. Since Hannah recorded her tapes based on timeline, the severity of the reasons are all over the place, it will build up then dissipate.

So heartbreaking
I watched the series before I read the book. Listening gives you a completely different perspective. Both narrators deserve amazing praise for the emotional performances that they evoke from an unbelievably heartbreaking novel that EVERYONE should read if not hear at least once in their lifetime.

Better than just reading it
I physically read the book and then when I went camping, I downloaded the audiobook to listen to on the way there and it just made reading the book that much better, it was great. I also think having another voice for Hannah added a lot more character and made it easier to follow along. I would recommend this book as a good YA novel. #Audible1

Clay = YES, Hannah = NO!
I loved the audiobook simply for the division of the two characters. It really was easier to read when you could hear the two distinct character playing their parts. Sadly, while "Clay" did a great job of securing his role, "Hannah" was simply awful. Flat, deadpan, no... anything. By the end, i hate to say it, but i simply didn't care about her at all. And I'm pretty sure that's not what the author was after. Sorry.

Dangerous premise
I’ve read so many good reviews about this book and the TV series (which I’ve not watched). Thus it is all the more surprising to myself that I dislike this book so much.
A teenage girl, Hannah committed suicide, but not before recording her unhappiness with 13 people on tape, and devising a system to announce their dirty secrets. Her friend Clay, a good teenage kid with a crush on her, was one of them. The story is told through Hannah and Clay’s voices.
Suicide is serious matter. The author must have started out with the noble idea to preach the message that we should be nice to others because we never know how our actions can drive others over the edge. However the story failed to achieve this purpose. Instead, it seemed to justify why Hannah would commit suicide. This was aided by Clay’s exclamations in agreement and agonizing soul-searching even as he listened to the tapes, affirming that he wholly agreed with Hannah’s perspective; everyone including himself was wrong and to be blamed. The title almost seems to sound like “Thirteen Justifications Why”. And even more insidious is the fact that not all the 13 reasons were solid contributory factors to her decision to commit suicide. For example, one of the 13 was a good boy and all Hannah had heard about him were good things.
The book is dangerous and could even have the opposite effect of what it sets out to do. Someone should debunk the premise of this book.
