精彩书评：
“事先警告：‘《十三个理由》之读者须知，这将是你遇见的前所未有的难读之书。’此言貌似批评，实则褒扬，作者埃舍天赋过人，将一起自杀事件引起的痛苦余波刻画得丝丝入扣，哀婉动人。”——《书页》

“《十三个理由》悬疑迭起，又伤到极，更犹如一场虔敬回溯过往的仪式。有那么不下二三十回，我读到其中的一行句子、某个意象、几则对话，言辞过于凄美，让我不忍卒读，啪嗒一声合上书本。然而，在惴惴不安与好奇心的纠结中，我又一趟趟地回到这本令人着迷的书中。我想，在未来的岁月里，我仍会一再重读此书。”——谢尔曼·阿莱克西《一个兼职印第安人的绝对真实日记》

“埃舍笔下的每个人物都恰到好处。他知道如何抓住读者内心，每一个读到这本书的人都会欲罢不能。”——《出版商周刊》

Review
“Heavy but compelling.... Asher’s novel asks us to look at how petty cruelty can deal crushing blows.”  —Miami Herald

“Wonderfully realistic in his writing, Asher offers teens and parents alike a great story on an important topic.”  — Green Bay Press-Gazette

“It is a brilliant debut that will leave readers feeling a sense of remorse for Hannah, guilt for Clay, and hope for the lasting lesson of the story.”  — Bookazine

“Breakneck pace and dizzying emotion.”  — School Library Journal

“[Hannah’s] pain is gut-wrenchingly palpable.... Asher has created an entrancing character study and a riveting look into the psyche of someone who would make this unfortunate choice. A brilliant and mesmerizing debut from a gifted new author.”  —Kirkus Reviews, starred review and Editor’s Choice

“Readers won’t be able to pull themselves away.”  — Publishers Weekly

“Asher’s ability to convey the anguish of someone who was left behind is truly remarkable.” — Book Page

“Hello，各位男生，各位女生。我是汉娜·贝克。正在立体声现场播音。
……我的人生何以终结。如果你正在听这些磁带，那你就是原因之一。”
品学兼优的高中生柯磊发现家门口有一个匿名包裹，里面是7盒老式磁带，每一面上都写了一个数字，从１到13。按下音响的开始键，传出的竟是已经离世的汉娜的声音。汉娜设定了磁带传递的规则，凡收到者皆无从逃避。柯磊暗恋汉娜许久，却始终缺乏胆量倾诉钟情，她到底遭遇了什么？柯磊半惊半疑，自己怎么会成为她结束生命的缘由呢？
彻夜未眠的柯磊，一面听着一盒盒磁带，一面跟着汉娜留下的地图，重走汉娜的心路。他终于了解，汉娜对生命的期待与挣扎，以及她无处可说的悲伤与失落。或许，生活中的确不存在绝对的大是大非，但每个人都可能因为无心之失，而伤害到身边之人。
13 Reasons Why《十三个理由》不单单是汉娜的倾诉和呼喊，更像是她对这个世界的善意提醒。少年柯磊在深夜的彷徨，伴随着汉娜时而深情、时而讥讽的诉说，紧紧地揪住人心。结束生命，可能需要很多绝望的理由；但重新爱上生命，只需要一丝希望就已足够。
You can’t stop the future. 
You can’t rewind the past.
The only way to learn the secret... is to press play.
Clay Jensen returns home from school to find a strange package with his name on it lying on his porch. Inside he discovers several cassette tapes recorded by Hannah Baker—his classmate and crush—who committed suicide two weeks earlier. Hannah’s voice tells him that there are thirteen reasons why she decided to end her life. Clay is one of them. If he listens, he’ll find out why.                
Clay spends the night crisscrossing his town with Hannah as his guide. He becomes a firsthand witness to Hannah’s pain, and as he follows Hannah’s recorded words throughout his town, what he discovers changes his life forever.

“Sir?” she repeats. “How soon do you want it to get there?”
I rub two fingers, hard, over my left eyebrow. The throbbing has become
intense. “It doesn’t matter,” I say.
The clerk takes the package. The same shoebox that sat on my porch less than twenty-four
hours ago; rewrapped in a brown paper bag, sealed with clear packing tape, exactly as I had received it. But now addressed with a new name. The next name on Hannah Baker’s list.
“Baker’s dozen,” I mumble. Then I feel disgusted for even noticing it.
“Excuse me?” 
I shake my head. “How much is it?”
She places the box on a rubber pad, then punches a sequence on her keypad.
I set my cup of gas-station coffee on the counter and glance at the screen. I pull a
few bills from my wallet, dig some coins out of my pocket, and place my money on the
counter.
“I don’t think the coffee’s kicked in yet,” she says.
“You’re missing a dollar.” 
I hand over the extra dollar, then rub the sleep from my
eyes. The coffee’s lukewarm when I take a sip, making it harder to gulp down. But I
need to wake up somehow.
Or maybe not. Maybe it’s best to get through the day half-asleep. Maybe that’s the
only way to get through today.
“It should arrive at this address tomorrow,” she says.
“Maybe the day after tomorrow.” Then she drops the box into a cart behind her.
I should have waited till after school. I should have given Jenny one final day of
peace.
Though she doesn’t deserve it.
When she gets home tomorrow, or the next day, she’ll find a package on her doorstep. Or if her mom or dad or someone else gets there first, maybe she’ll find it on her bed. And she’ll be excited. I was excited. A package with no return address? Did they forget, or was it intentional? Maybe from a secret admirer?
“Do you want your receipt?” the clerk asks. 
I shake my head.
A small printer clicks one out anyway. I watch her tear the slip across the serrated
plastic and drop it into a wastebasket.
There’s only one post office in town. I wonder if the same clerk helped the other people
on the list, those who got this package before me. Did they keep their receipts as sick souvenirs? Tuck them in their underwear drawers? Pin them up on corkboards?
I almost ask for my receipt back. I almost say, “I’m sorry, can I have it after all?”As a reminder.
But if I wanted a reminder, I could’ve made copies of the tapes or saved the map. But I never want to hear those tapes again, though her voice will never leave my head. And the houses, the streets, and the high school will always be there to remind me.
It’s out of my control now. The package is on its way. I leave the post office without the receipt.
