Summary: A Real Survivor Story
Review: Bobby Petrocelli spoke at a Safe Spring conference in Saratoga Springs New York. I was among the many who attended. He told us what had happend to him. When he told us of his book I knew it was a must have. I was right it was both heartwrenching and inspirational. I spoke with him after the meeting and I was convinced he was a success story. This book opened my eyes to my own expiriences and things I can do to spread the message to never give up. If you are a teen whose life isn't going well, I urge you to read this book and have your own "Triumph over Tragedy".

Summary: An Amazing Author.
Review: I have met Mr. Petrocelli, in 1995 at a Pride Conference. he had inspired many young kids with his story about the tragic loss of his wife. He is an amazing writer and I an amazing man to be able to share his story with the world is just wonderful.If I could buy a million copies of this book and be able to teach a class on drunk driving, I would use is book as an example on how many lives are lost due to this unscrupulous act of irresponsibility. I would love for you to buy this book, in hope you will feel compelled to read it, understand it and help others learn what it is like to lose a loved one like Mr. Petrocelli did.

Summary: The turning point in life
Review: It is a great book which can be very sad but it makes you want to keep reading the book. One thing I like in the book is how it teaches you a lot of life lessons. It makes you feel like you become a part of the main character's life(Bobby). He works as a teacher in a high school in Texas and coaches the baseball and football team. He has a wife (Ava) that he is very happy until there is a turn of events in his life. He is a great guy that goes threw some tough times in his life. In fact what he goes threw sounds so unreal but the book is based on a true story. I read this book because I wanted to learn more about his life after he was a guest speaker in my high school. He was a great speaker but he is also a great author. I recommend that everyone reads this book, especially if you like reading true stories. I hope you enjoy the book as much as I did.

Summary: Amazing
Review: Like the other reviewers, when I entered the autitoruim the morning Bobby came to speak, I was ready for an extra hour of sleep while another boring speaker told his story about how it's "wrong to drink" and "don't do drugs". Well, I along with everyone else in the room that morning, left uplifted and amazed. Bobby's story was so powerful and moving. I was truley amazed by his courage and strength to move on, and especially to stand up infront of hundreds of teenagers and tell his emotional story. I would recommend the book to anyone, but it would be even better if you could hear him speak for yourself.

Summary: This book rawks.
Review: Mr. Petrocelli came to my junior high school in 1993 and is the only guest speaker I have ever had effect me so much. After hearing his story, I read his book in a day, just to soak in the the added details. He is an inspirational speaker and a truly wonderful person. He gets his point across without being preachy, and doesn't use the same cliches. If you have the opportunity to see him, you definatly should.

Summary: There are no words to describe...
Review: the thoughts that entered my mind when Bobby Petrocelli stepped onto the stage at my high school in Massachusetts. At first I thought, "Oh great, just another speaker that has come to drill into our young minds how wrong it is to drink and drive...and what a coincidence, just before the prom!" But as quickly as that thought had entered my mind, it left just as fast when Petro told us his story. Perhaps the way he told it made it hit home even more. His constant use of humor made it impossible for us not to listen as intently as we possibly could. He was simply amazing, not only in person, but also in his book, Triumph Over Tragedy. This book should be read by every student, every parent, every person who is in one way or another involved with the realities of the everyday world. I am aware that Bobby travels around the nation telling his story to many young students just like me, and I am truly amazed that he can do this, as it must bring up many feelings of pain and anger. Now, I am also aware that this IS a book review, but really, in this case it is also an author review because of just how involved Bobby really is with his personal story of success. Please, if you haven't already, go out to your local bookstore and pick up a copy. I promise you, one way or another, it will change your perspective on life and make you realize that "in 10 seconds one bad choice can change a life!"
