By then, some explosion has already occurred. <br /><br />That this book gives us a glimpse of the, I think adds untold insight to the seriousness tragedies such as taking one's own life.<br /><br />Great review.

Mainly because he's freaking hilarious. And yet I cried while reading his book. Go figure... :-P<br /><br />Anyhow, I just happened upon your blog and became an instant follower :-). Great review. And I agree -- the "butterfly effect" is a perfect description. So haunting and so beautiful. Thanks! :-)<br /><br /><a href="http://mchristineweber.com/13-reasons-to-like-jay-asher-an-author-interview/" rel="nofollow">mchristineweber</a>m. christine weberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01682302405461350614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998073617976947577.post-27884167088348326802011-01-05T20:58:05.046-06:002011-01-05T20:58:05.046-06:00I just checked this book out from the library - no...I just checked this book out from the library - now I'm really looking forward to reading it!Patti (@TheLoveJunkee)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01732605328006594727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998073617976947577.post-65551615592110451942011-01-05T15:53:03.513-06:002011-01-05T15:53:03.513-06:00I loved this book.

I grew so attached to Hannah, though. It was like when I read historical fiction about someone you know dies in the end but you still hope they don't.Small Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16072352095510905410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998073617976947577.post-77690222889236510272011-01-05T15:47:42.297-06:002011-01-05T15:47:42.297-06:00Great review!

I also thought it was very original, haunting, and creepy of listening to Hannah's voice. Definitely poignant and great for book discussions.
