I understand that a lot of people feel emotionally connected to the book and Hannah's struggles and I'm not trying to undermine that. I would just like to express a thought that popped into my head while reading the book.

I believe that the writing style is perfect for young readers and portrays multiple very important messages. I recommend this book to everyone of all ages and genders.
I completely agree. I think if more teens/ preteens had read the book then you probably wouldn't see as much bullying and they would reflect on how they treat others and gain a little more perspective and empathy for others. All actions have consequences. Just because one act doesn't leave an impression on you doesn't mean that it didn't have a major effect on another person. My son is 6 and already tells me that kids are mean and tease him. At 6 years old they are already dealing with self esteem issues because they aren't as tall or as fast. It gets worse as they get older and it just continues from there. I think if more teens/preteens read the book maybe they would look for the signs. Maybe try to actually help those who are asking for it. Put an end to bullying.

I agree---I think it's a very poignant story that has the opportunity to help kids suffering with depression, but it stops short of expressing that suicide is not the answer. I wish the author had been more firm on that point since the target audience of this book is so impressionable.JenniferOoley wrote: ↑20 Oct 2013, 14:46 I read this book within an hour. I get it that peer pressure is the issue and that's why all these reasons of suicide existed .... but reality is that suicide is a quiet affair. I understand the author's point in that other people should know the affect they have on a person's life --- but I found little of these reasons to be reasons for suicide. I think that suicide is already within one's mind and to make the point the author could have been more blatant about suggesting how events can push someone overboard. Suicide comes at ages, not just teens... I suppose that is what frustrated me the most. It is a good book for young adults, however, there is not major point in the book that really, strongly suggests that what happens in high school is not worth suicide... that's what is missing from this book.
