13 Reason Why (comparison with series and book)



Assalamualaykum~

Are you guys excited about what im about to tell?! I do! I must warn, A LOT OF SPOILER ALERT!

This netflix series got me glue to the screen. I am addicted to it. It took me about 3 days to finished the whole series and I AM SO EXCTED FOR THE SECOND ONE! It took me about 4 days to complete reading the whole book.

Yeah, i watched first, then only i read. LOL

Lets get into it.

HERE ARE THE CHARACTERS



OK

1. The characters.

In the series, each characters are built with personality, family, relationship and reputation. If you guys at least watched it, you'll understand why i said this. And for the one that only read it, well let me clarify it for you.

In the novel there are not much of description. They dont say much about each person except for hannah mostly.

I understand, in order to make a series out of it you must built a strong living character into it. I totally get it but not everything is tally with the novel. Yes, not everything.

In the novel,

Tony is clay's bff. He does have mustang.

Coutney has straight parents.

Sky used to be clay's crush.

In the series,

Tony is gay and used to be with ryan.

Coutney is asian with gay parents. And a lesbian too.

Clay was a mentor to his charming baseball senior. They even built his parents characters. His dad dont even exist in the novel (LOL)

Jessica's father in military and such.

Bryce the damn rich pampered kiddo.

Justin who has family problems and such.

Long story short, they actually built a character on their own. In the novel, they dont describe anyone as asian or tall or black etc etc. Yet, I still love it. You better damn watch it~

2. The scene

In the novel,

Hannah describe that she had been having dreams about Justin kissing her in the playground and she knew it was going to happen.

Clay finishing all the tapes in one day. Its more to his reactions.

In the series,

A LOT ok. I mean duh, its 13 episodes not one ehh. So, there are a lot of addiction. It almost go with the flow. I could say most of it are exaggeration. Let me mention some of it that are not in the novel,

the memorial courtney made.

the ball dance where clay and hannah were dancing (the night we met song)

the hiking tony and clay

of course, ALL THE GODDAMN REVENGE. Clay didnt even throw the damn stone to tyler's window.

sorry to disappoint you, courtney and hannah did not made up. so as clay and sheri. LOL

3. Not even close to be a fact from the novel

Clay cycles to school, but Hannah did.

Sky working in monets.

Yeah, FML for the JAH (jessica, alex, hannah) its actually OLLY OLLY OXEN FREE

i said it... LOL

The lawsuit. Not even in the novel

The bakers had shoe shop instead of a drugstore.

Hannah died by pills instead of cutting her veins.

4. Almost similar

Based on the novel, things are much linear i guess.

Bryce did raped Jessica but he only fingered Hannah on the tube.

How much Clay love to looked on Hannah.

Hannah play hard to get with Justin is true but they dont have it in the novel. I mean, it does not describe. The writer.

Mr Potter is the counsellor and THEIR ENGLISH TEACHER

The poem that hannah wrote. The novel and series version are not the same.

Clay got his scar in the end of the novel.

5. My impression about everything

Both novel and the series are excellent. The messages are still the same. The story line are the same with a few touch ups but im buying it. I think, if you guys are as obsessive as I am about this 13rw, then watched and read it. Compare and come out with your own ideas.

I guess that all i have. FYI, I LOVE ZACH. hahahaha!

Thank you for reading till the end!
