I was the reporter who interviewed you and took those group pics of you with the students, I FINALLY got to read your bokk after convincing a student to check it out for me at Biblioteca Las Americas (My local Barnes sold out) and I was blown away! I read many many books, but not many affect me on an emotional level as yours, I did not think I could relate since I am no longer a teen, but I could, I even remembered what it was like to be 15 again, I could feel Clay's despair, it is similar to the despair I feel when I see any 9/11 footage, this book should be complex with all of the characters and subjects but it is not. You leave enough for the reader to fill in gaps and understand whats going on in each action. All I can say is BRAVO for your first book being so good and making a positive difference. I will definitely purchase any book you write from now on and will order my own 13 Reasons Why :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00651621649145436184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30155656.post-37656734368938238372010-11-03T21:27:32.183-07:002010-11-03T21:27:32.183-07:00Man, I'm in Texas but not a student!
