So enjoyable
Revisado: 01-25-25
I wasn’t sure what to expect with this book, but in John Scalzi fashion, the book is funny and enjoyable with a cast of character that are lovable and flawed! Wil Wheaton is the best narrator ever! I can’t get enough!!!

Historia2.5 out of 5 stars 26
A blazingly original, electrifying mystery of love and loss from the haunted imagination of Amelia Gray. In the dead of winter, David, a retired dentist in an unnamed town in Ohio, is pretty sure his wife, Franny, is dead. But he can’t quite figure out what killed her or why she had to die. Disoriented by grief, David struggles to unravel these mysteries - which become increasingly baffling when he starts finding a series of elaborate and escalating threats hidden around his home.

BIZARRE. No resolution. Think twice b4 you buy.
Revisado: 04-27-12
Would you try another book from Amelia Gray and/or Hillary Huber?
Probably not
What could Amelia Gray have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Some sort of resolution to this book would have been nice. This book was written so oddly, & you listen to "unintelligible gibberish" about characters you expect to learn more about, or expect somehow their stories will come together... & then... "THE END"
How did the narrator detract from the book?
I expect she read & delivered a bizarrely written book as well as one could.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Threats?
I think so many scenes we confusing or needed to be expounded on. I never fully understood the significance of the laundromat & the woman folding clothes. Was it just to show that others have issues too? & the women working in the garage with the wasps? Find another office, or kill the wasp's nest. Don't just continually allow yourself to get stung. I could have done without the ultra bizarre sex scene in the beauty shop. Completely unnecessary!
Any additional comments?
This book baffled me. So many times I was going to just turn it off & walk away. I think if it had been longer, I surely would have. But, I kept hoping to figure SOMETHING out. I wanted to know where the THREATS were coming from. I wanted to know how these people were going to be connected. But in the end, I'm left more confused & a little ticked off @ the wasted time invested in such a strange story.

AMAZING...UNBELIEVABLY GREAT
Revisado: 12-22-11
Would you consider the audio edition of Thirteen Reasons Why to be better than the print version?
Absolutely...the first time I heard Hannah's voice, my breath caught.
Which character – as performed by Debra Wiseman and Joel Johnstone – was your favorite?
My heart ached for both in different ways. No way I could choose a favorite.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I cried many times. Hannah's story is so poignant. & it is written so well, I completely empathized with her. On the other side of that, I was angry, confused, bewildered & heartbroken along with Clay.
Any additional comments?
This book engulfed me entirely. From the very first tape, I was along for the ride. And although I'd known, even prior to pressing play, that Hannah was dead...I found myself hoping, begging actually, for her not to do it. I began to care about her, to love her & knew that I would be heartbroken @ her loss soon, just as her town was. Then, just like Clay, I NEEDED to know why...so I pressed on.
I can not recommend this book highly enough. It touched something inside me, changed me somehow...in the end though, isn't that what all great books are supposed to do?
