So, basically this book kicked butt. Although, it isn't for everyone. People under fourteen should not read this book unless they are mature enough to handle it. Suicide is a very serious issue, and this book makes it sound very dramatic and possibly even worth while if you could ruin the lives of someone who ruined yours.
It only took me a few days to read this book. Even though I didn't go crazy over it like I would have for Twilight or something like that, I still was curious to know what was going on; why Clay was on the tapes, what sent Hannah over the edge. I found myself in tears at several points in this book and angry through the other parts. Bullying was never a big issue in my school, at least not with me, and I used to laugh at shows that had serious bullies on it, because I thought they were a thing of the past.
I definitely recommend this book.
