I loved this show on Netflix so I thought, "Why not see what the book is all about, too!" Spoiler alert: I really liked the book, too! And the fact that this book was released in 2007 impresses me. Asher wrote a good mini-thriller while focusing on teen issues very well. The character of Hannah was definitely more likable in the show. In the book, she was super whiny and super annoying. In the book, I was just wanting to know what was on all the tapes, whereas in the show I actually cared about her and was saddened each episode by what would ultimately happen to her. Asher did a good job of going back and forth between Hanna via the tapes, Clay narrating/reading, and then the flashbacks with all the other characters. I will definitely read more of him whenever I need a YA fix!
