Book Reviews of Tears Of A Tiger

Book Review: Why must the good die young!
Summary: 5 Stars

It is all my fault! I believe Tears of a Tiger is the saddest book I have ever read. This is the first Sharon M. Draper book I have read and I think it is my favorite! This is a modern day story in the town of Hazelwood. The Hazelwood High School basketball team is in a car crash and the star center, Robbie Washington was tragically killed at the age of seventeen (Andy, B.J., and Tyrone survive). Andy Jackson (Robbie's best friend) was driving the car and blames himself for Robbie's untimely death. Andy's friends: B.J., Tyrone, Keisha, (Andy's girlfriend) and Rhonda were able to deal with Robbie's death; Andy could not. Through out the story, Andy tries to deal with Robbie's death, on and off the basketball court. Keisha is an extremely important character because she really helps Andy deal with Robbie's terrible death. I enjoyed this book's different twists and turns and look forward to reading Forged by Fire the second book in this three book series. One of the twists and turns is at the beginning when Robbie dies on the first page. Overall, this sports fiction book has a nice quick speed and easy flow.

Summary of Tears Of A Tiger

In one horrifying night,

Andy's life changed forever...

Andy Jackson was driving the car that crashed one night after a game, killing Robert Washington, his best friend and the captain of the Hazelwood High Tigers. It was late, and they'd been drinking, and now, months later, Andy can't stop blaming himself. As he turns away from family, friends, and even his girlfriend, he finds he's losing the most precious thing of all -- his ability to face the future.
