Rendition As Books Playlist for the Dead
Here’s what Sam knows: There was a party. There was a fight. The next morning, Sam’s best friend, Hayden, was dead. All he left Sam was a playlist of songs—and a note, saying that he took his own life. But what Sam doesn’t know is: Why? To figure out what happened, Sam has to rely on the playlist and his own memory. But the more he listens, the more he realizes that his memory isn’t as reliable as he thought. Especially when someone claiming to be Hayden starts sending him cryptic messages, and a series of violent attacks begins on the bullies who made Hayden’s life hell. Sam knows he has to face up to what happened the night. But it’s only by taking out his earbuds and opening his eyes to the people around him—including an eccentric, unpredictable girl who’s got secrets, too—that Sam will finally be able to piece together his best friend’s story. And maybe have a chance to change his own.Mention Books To Playlist for the Dead

"Hurting him wouldn't do me any good. Even just blaming him didn't make me feel better. Who was I to say who was any more responsible than anyone else?"This was just an okay book for me. I'm enjoying it at the beginning since it was like a mystery book where you don't know what had actually happened and you need to find the answer to everything. I don't have big complaints. It's not that bad or boring, it just did not leave a big impact on me.Actual Rating:3.2 starsSORRY BUT NO, NO, NO, NO ---Originally posted at Geeky ChiquitasThis book compares itself to Stephen Chbosky's The Perks of Being a Wallflower and Tim Tharp's The Spectacular Now. These are really big claims, and I was at first skeptical, naturally, but in the end I decided to give this a try. While I did not exactly like The Spectacular Now all that much, I did adore Perks a lot, and so I had great expectations for this book. Sadly, it was so different from what I expected and I'm really really
Sam Goldsmith finds his best friends, Haydens, body and a suicide note saying Listen and youll understand I expected the story to be about the whole playlist and how it connected all the dots and everything but it was a little disappointing. Yes, Sam listened to the playlist through the whole book, but it wasnt incorporated in the whole story, which was a pity.This brings me to the storyline of this book. It was enjoyable, but again, not very extraordinary like I expected. This book didnt leave
This book sucked me into it like a sand pit I finished it in only 2 days.Reading this because I took some Buzzfeed quiz of which particular new book that should be my next read..and turns out that this one is right up my alley (How many psychologist and from which top ranking university Buzzfeed is hiring is a mystery though).I am always a sucker for a story that use pop culture as a plot device, and this book, with each chapter introduced one song each that drive the narratives forward, are in
DNFI can't bear the writing, sorry/
It seems to me there has been an influx of YA books on the subject of suicide. Recently I have read Thirteen Reasons Why, I Was Here, and now Playlist for the Dead. As far as Playlist for the Dead is concerned it wasn't as good as the others. Just being honest. It was very mediocre. Are you wondering why then did I rated it 4 Stars? The playlist. Every chapter is a song and in that chapter the song or band is mentioned in some way. What I did was make a playlist and listen to it as I read the
