I’m almost halfway through 13 Reasons Why. It hasn’t really caught me. Does it get better?

I didn’t care for it but I think I’m in the minority.

I didn’t care for it either. I thought its message was quite mixed, which it apparently wasn’t supposed to be. After reading the book, I decided not to watch the Netflix series.

I didn’t either. It kind of made me angry. I stopped halfway thru.

This is one of the rare occasions where I thought the tv show was much better than the book, which I found pretty uninspired.

I saw the TV show first and thought it was a lot stronger

I didn’t read the book but did watch the show. I think it’s important subject matter and thought the show was very well done.
It helped open conversations with my 18 yo who had watched it and wanted to discuss.

Nope. Put it down and pick up either I Am Messenger by Zusak or We Were Liars, can’t remember the authors name.

We Were Liars is by E. Lockhart. I loved I Am the Messenger!

Wasn’t it good? It’s such an “I don’t know where we’re headed but I’m glad I’m along for the ride” read!

I found it worth thinking about but it’s probably best read by a teen rather than an adult.
