Thirteen Reasons Why

Thirteen Reasons Why

By Jay Asher

This book isn’t as good as I think it is for one main reason - it sort of glamorises suicide. Although there are a lot of good descriptions and parts of the book that I liked, the different point of views made me very confused as to whose thoughts they were about. Although the characters were quite alright, Hannah was the most unreal one to me, and that’s because she killed herself just for the sake of getting sick revenge. However I think that the book is realistic though, because most teenagers are very sensitive and can be hurt by just a little joke. So Hannah didn’t really get tormented to the point of suicide in a really horrible revolting, this made the book a bit more realistic. Again, I think that Hannah was really the main character in the story and she just sounded so angry and bitter (maybe that’s cause she was about to commit suicide) but it just made the story seem a bit more unrealistic to me. I would give this book 3/5 stars, I just don’t understand all the hype about it.

The Distance Between Lost and Found

The Distance Between Lost and Found

By Kathryn Holmes

This was the most amazing book I have ever read. A young girl named Hallelujah is teased and bullied constantly for a bad thing she did not do. She and her friends suddenly get lost in the woods and go through horrible pains and sickness trying to get back home. I absolutely loved this book. It is however a young adult book so I only recommend it to kids age 11 and older.

172 Hours on the Moon

172 Hours on the Moon

By Johan Harstad

172 Hours on the Moon by Johan Harstad is undoubtedly the best mystery/thriller novel I have ever read. This 355 page Sci-Fi thriller depicts three teenagers, and their once in a lifetime opportunity of setting foot on the moon.This book starts off in the year 2019, nearly a decade after the last moon mission NASA sent. In the last ten years, alien signals have been emanating from the moon leading NASA to launch another mission. But this time, 3 teenagers have been chosen for the mission of their lifetime. The three teenagers have high hopes for the trip, but little do they know that a mysterious alien form is waiting for them on the moon. It is the opportunity of a lifetime if they make it back alive. Johan Harstad does a very good job of describing the setting of the book. It makes the reader feel as if he or she is the main character.I would recommend this book to anybody that loves books that are mysterious and make the hair on a person's back stand up.
