Im on page 65 and so far i really like the book. I think that the way this book is narrated is very interesting the way the tapes and the narrator talk. I also really like how hannah tells each of the stories and the mystyriousness of it all.

**Entry #1**
Im read up to page 120 and I think it's pretty good. I agree with Hannah because rumors csn be serious and they can hurt you badly. I like how it goes from Clay to Hannah and you can see what he thinks when he listens to the tape. In my opinion, I think this is going to be an interesting book.
ENTRY#1
i agree with tyyba on the fact that its cool that the story switches from clay to hannah. it is really well put together. to be honest at firt=st i was a little creaped out when i found out what was going on. this brings me to my next point which is that the book jumped in right away with the main story with not so much of an intro. i liked this and disliked this at the same time. over all i really am enjoying this book so far.
; ENTRY 1 .
I'm really enjoying the book so far and Im understanding everything, which is good. Its really interesting how the narrator and Hannah's voice talk back and forth, so you can see what Clay is thinking too. I really like the idea of this book and the moral which is "small things can have a big impact" I especially like how Clay has his own versions of what happened and how he described them. So far, I'm really enjoying the book. (:

So far this book is great and, well this story could very well exist in real life. instances like the one hannah describes are most likely to exist in every young adults life. well i have a problem kind of reading it because you, read things from hannahs perspective and then it suddenly switches to Clay's which kind of messes me up, so i end up re reading a lot. over all its a good book and i wonder what number Clay is.
; ENTRY 2.
im really enjoying this book because, like jonathon said, this could exist in real life and it doesnt sound fake like some other books. i kinda can see what hannah is going through when she said noone was there for her and i can see Clays perspective when he says he couldve helped her. i really wanna find out what Clay did that was so bad, and i want to see how it affects him.
**Entry #2**
I'm really enjoying this book, also. I can understand how Hannah is feeling, because it could happen to anyone in reality. I'm wondering how Clay effected her and what he did to her. I can't believe Hannah's friends would go behind her back just because of a rumor.
Entry #2
i agree on the fact that its more intresting that this could actually happen in real life. im really enjoing this book and cant wait to see what hannah will say next.
entry # 2
Im on page 200 about and im still finding this book very interesting.I really enjoy how each of hannah's stories connect to the next. I also love how in depth each story is and how the little things that people look over can effect someone else in such a big way. Im anticipating
Clay's part in this because it seems like hes a really nice person who wuld not hurt hannah.
Entry#2
im at the part in the book where the things that lead to Hannah's suicide where getting worst. when do we have time to think about all the small things that can make a big difference in someone elses life, and of course hannah could have taken a different approuch but it probably is overwhelming. also the book is very hard to predict in what will happen next which contributes to the excitement.

I am in the part of the book where Hannah is talking about Clay on the tapes. I think that Clay never really meant to hurt her, and he never really did. I think that he really only ever wanted to make her life better and get to know her more. I love how all of the stories connect in a way. I am verry excited to see how the rest of the storie turns out because it is so suspenseful.
entry #3
i agree with amy. i think that hurting hannah was the last thing he wanted to do. he really liked her and definitly never wanted it to end the way it did this book is really good and i cant stop reading it.
I finished the book yesterday and thought the ending was pretty good. I like how at the end he gose to get Skye because she could have been like hannah. Over all i really liked this book and would recomend it to almost anyone.

period 3
I read Clay's story on the tapes, and I think it wasn't fair to him. He didn't know what was going on in Hannah's life. He should've gotten another chance. I love how all the stories connect to one another. I'm enjoying this book so far.

I finished the book and it was pretty good. I don't think that teacher understood her.I think the teacher could've helped her more. Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone.

Entry #3
first of all i want to apologize for not being able to post all of these until today, i'd lost internet acess in the first week of break on wednesday and i couldn't go to the library because my mom was to tired from working all day.
so in response to Tayyba's third entry, which i agree that Clay could have saved Hannah's life if he had a second chance. he was just doing what hannah had told him to do, even though Hannah could have been saved from herself.
The book so far is at its climax and its doing a good job of delivering a powerful message.
Entry #4 Period 7
Im near the end of the book and i was shocked to learn that there was another person in the same position as Hannah, though still alive. And this time Clay is actually going to try to save a life unlike Hannah.
i was also very surprised to find out that clay had the chance to stop someone from doing what Hannah did to herself. it is allot for him to handle now and i cant wait to see how he is going to handle the situation.
entry #4
i just finished reading this book and i absolutly loved it. i really liked how the auther wraped up the book with a good ending that i was really satisfyed with. there is no doubt that i wouldnt recomend this book to anyone. it was truly a good book and i liked the suspence.
entry #5
I believe that Skyke was in the same position as Hannah. I finished the book and I liked it. I think it was suprising at the end. It was full with suspense. In my opinion, I think Hannah should've given it more thought to what she was doing.
**Entry #5
I feel that it was sad how people like mr.Porter and Bryce knew how hannah was feeling because she showed them and they didnt care enough to help. I think on the other hand that people like Clay would have been dying to help if she had only reached out to them.
; ENTRY 3 .
im really enjoying the book because ive never read a book like this before . you can clearly see how she is feeling and how these people affected her. im at the part where Clay is mentioned in the tapes and i can sort of feel his pain & his frustration, because he wishes he could be there for her . also i love how his bestfriend is there for him .
; ENTRY 4 .
im really liking this book, im glad clay has someone there for him , but i feel bad because he wishes he couldve saved hannah , but honestly he had no idea. im finally reaching the end and i can see how each person's story affected the others and how everything just ties together in the end. it makes you realize that even the littlest things, like a list, or a simple comment can change a persons life
; ENTRY 5 .
im finished with the book and i absolutely loved it. it is one of those books that leaves an imprint in you and they teach you a few things. i sort of changed a little after this book and ive taken a different look on things. i recommend this book to anyone over 12 because it is great and it carries a powerful message and i beleive this book should be read in school as part of the curriculum. i enjoyed this book very much !! (:
Entry #5 period 7
i agree with nick on his 5th entry, this book is something that would show us how to take advantage of life even when things are at its worst, this book is great and i would suggest that anyone read it, even though its a little more detailed and tailored towards older readers.
