Just to let everyone know, my name is not really Margo James. Okay? I don't reveal that. Secondly...if you would reccomend this to friends that would make me very happy. :) My first review is Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher. It's a book about a girl named Hannah Baker who kills herself, and before doing so, records her voice on tapes. On these tapes are thirteen (actually twelve, one person is repeated) people that have brought her to her death. She says that they must pass the tapes amoung the thirteen of them and listen to them, or else a second set of tapes, currently held by someone she trusts, will be released to everyone. It is actually quite intersting. we follow Clay (#9) through his story and his reaction to the tapes. Clay's reason is probably the least worst out of all of them, in fact Hannah herself said he didn't belong on the tapes, but Clay passes it along for the privacy of the others, which they probably don't deserve. It is actually quite and intersting read

info on 13 reasons why movie:
The rumoured movie on one of my favorite books really intrigued me. Hannah Baker is rumoured to be cast Selena Gomez. There are a lot of people unsure are totally disliking it, but i however love the idea. I find her the perfect Hannah, while others prefer Emma Stone. Some complain she's too young. She's 18, and Hannah is actually supposed to be a bit younger than that. They don't think she's right... well I had to sit there and watch plenty of movies where i thought the actors weren't how i pictured when I read the book, and I did not go hating on them. Besides, she is really pretty. Others say because of where she came from in Disney, younger children may be attracted. That is their parents decision, if they wish to expose them to that, and Selena's not a little kid anymore. She can do movies that have more adult concepts than magic wizards and such. Others are haters and just hate her because they were having a bad day one day, her smile intimidated them, and they decided that they would hate her forever. A very small percentage are probably book fans that are also fans of Justin Bieber, who hate Selena because they think by her datnig Justin she is ruining their plans of marraige with justin bieber, which frankly had no chance anyway. More info on movie later.
