The usage of the tapes as a form of a different point of view from the present time in the novel. (2 more)
Bringing awareness to major problems that teens go through in today's society.
I love how beautifully written and imagery driven the poem Hannah wrote was.
Some of the reasons Hannah has are pity. For example, Jessica brutally ending her friendship with Hannah wasn't as horrible as other reasons (1 more)
The lack of character that clay has throughout the book. In contry to the book, the show shows the people involved with Hannah's death as realistic people.
Overall good
Contains spoilers, click to show
In my opinion, Thirteen Reasons Why is a book that I love yet dislike. I love the uniqueness of using tapes to tell Hannah's story on what drove her to her breaking point. Also, I adore that the show actually gives the characters different personalities.

Some of my dislikes about both show and book was the way Hannah could be melodramatic about minor stuff that means nothing. But I understand her reasoning for it. I dislike how the book gave Clay and other characters no personality, which to me is a waste of potential to better improve the novel.
Overall, both Netflix's adaptation of Thirteen reasons why and the novel is a great read for older teens. But I will suggest for younger teens for them to read/ watch the show with adult supervision due to the themes.
