Thirteen Reasons Why (Jay Asher)

So what are Hannah's reasons? Some of the things which happen to her are horrible, such as what she witnessed at that party and felt guilt over. But others are more... questionable. For example, some of these more questionable ones are:

• A boy in her class made a list of the hottest and least hottest girls in the class, done by different categories. Hannah was voted as having the "best ass."
• Someone stole compliments out of her compliment bag.

Those are naming some. Throughout the book Hannah refers to things as being a snowball which collects together and gets bigger. I get this: the small things all add up. But this is where her hypocrisy comes in. She goes on and on about how people should think about how their actions will harm others, but not once did she think about how harmful hers are. Imagine this: you were the boy who wrote the list of hottest girls, it was a joke of course. Then you end up receiving tapes from a girl in your class who killed herself. On these tapes she blames you for why she committed suicide. You'd feel horrible! Imagine being the reason for why someone took their own life! But did Hannah ever think about how others would feel? NO!

Another thing I hate: how revenge-y her death felt! The whole thing seemed like she was just trying to get back at others. With how she opens up the first tape, it feels like that. She even has a second-box of tapes to be released and aired publicly if the first set wasn't passed to all of the people she blames for her passing. With the amount of things she does and how she talks at the start of the first tape, it's like she views herself as this mastermind.

Another thing Hannah does that I fucking hate: she goes on and on about how no one bothered to look for the signs of her being suicidal. Because god forbid no one pay constant attention to everything she does. She thinks everything is all about her.

There are other things I dislike as well. The amount of times the word sliver was used and the anti-climactic part where it reveals why Clay was on the tapes. This isn't even a case of "I disliked it, but it's fine if you liked it." No. How is it possible to like this book? Hannah is horrid, the writing is mediocre and even as a mystery book it fails, with how anticlimactic the part with Clay was.

Fuck this book and fuck Hannah Baker, the little bitch.

Dragon Ball: That Time I Got Reincarnated as Yamcha! (Dragonarow Lee)

In short, this book is a lazy, boring and uninspired self-insert fanfic which was actually published. It's sad to think that this was published, if this was made then why don't I make "Mob Psycho 100: That Time I Got reincarnated as Tomie!", it'd probably be better than this.

I Am Not Starfire (Mariko Tamaki)

Nothing about this book is interesting it's 50% whining, 25% OH CLAIRE, MY CRUSH CLAIRE WHO IS SOOOO PERFECT, 20% I'm not going to college, and 5% superhero fight scene we had to add in to count this as a DC comic.

The art also sucked. I dislike criticising art, because I know how hard it is to draw and art is subjective, but the drawings in this book are just bad. It isn't nice to look at.

So is there any redeeming factors to I Am Not Starfire? No, there is almost nothing I liked about this. The only complement I have is that they didn't make a big deal out of Mandy being gay. Lincoln and Mandy were acting like they had seen two episodes of Daria and made it their whole personality. Don't bother with this comic, it's not even worth it for the laughs.

Lord of the Flies (William Golding)

The characters (using the word lightly as the characters in Lord of the Flies are more of planks of wood with personalities spray painted over them) are very 2 dimensional. Look, William Golding, if you want me to be invested in your story you need to have decent characters. This is especially true if you're writing something about how people can become barbarous in times of panic. If you want me to believe that this would happen to a person, give them more depth. Now I have said all that, let's go through some of the characters!

Ralph is the main character (I guess) and he starts off being very unlikeable, but halfway through the book the author decided to change his personality, so he's somewhat tolerable. Not much can be said about Ralph, because there isn't much to him, he just fills out the "Leader" role.

Then there's Piggy. Piggy (along with Simon) fill out the "Wise one with common sense" role. He was one of the only characters that was likeable, but that doesn't mean he's a good character. Like everyone else in this book he was boring.

Jack is more of the bad guy. Jack slowly goes insane, hahahaha I'm joking, he doesn't slowly go insane, he just does out of the blue because William Golding has no talent! Jack really likes meat, so he enjoys killing the pigs on the island, and gets upset when he can't go hunting because NO ONE IN THIS FUCKING BOOK CAN GO A DAY WITHOUT EATING MEAT I GUESS! That's what pushes this guy to insanity!

Then there's Simon. Him and Piggy were the only ones I kind of liked. Simon is the smart character and that's it to him. Not much to say besides that. The other planks of wood- no, characters, are even more boring and completely interchangeable with each other.

I believe that this book and Shakespeare's terrible works are the reason why a lot of teenagers and kids don't like reading. Being forced to read this trash and others like this and being told that they're "classics" and "amazing" must make someone hate reading as a whole. Anyway, in short, William Golding, along with being a sexual predator also has the writing skills of a ten year old.
