REVIEW:
Very Brilliant. Genius and Compelling. One of the books that made my night sleepless. Every page is a new revelation. The characters that Lorenzo created is humongous. The idea of the story was way beyond amazing and smart. This is a perfect book for me and for every mystery seeker. This is what you call feeding the mind with absurd, morbid yet hopeful and provocative living.
Applause to the Author.

REVIEW:
Brilliant story, I love how the story goes through the dual narratives of Hanna Baker and Clay Jensen. It was just so mysterious that reader will be curious about it. Very compelling, i never stopped reading it until the end. Although some parts of Hanna’s Reason was a bit dense to my perspective, but as you look beyond everything, you’ll gonna feel and comprehend that all of it makes sense. Hanna’s character is very subtle. you cannot say if she is fragile, weak or vulnerable. you cannot say if she is strong and tough, whatsoever. All i can see when you try to imagine Hanna baker, she is so unpredictable. She doesn’t want to draw that line herself for people to understand her.What she wants is for people to enter her frigid and lonely life. All she needs is someone to understand her, without her being so pushy. She want a person who is willing, to listen to her, no matter how bad,boring or vindictive her life is.
Jay Asher, put my mind into struggle in predicting and catching the inner core of Hanna Baker. And it helps, actually. It is so nice to read a book as brilliant and as subtle as this.It makes me feel different after reading this. And i must say that’s a good thing. So.. applause to the author. Very brilliant.
The secret circle.
