Summary: Fantastic Book
Review: Tears of a Tiger is a story that deals with several issues that many young adults face today. It is a powerful story that tells about the price one pays for drinking and driving. In one horrific night, Andy Jackson's life is changed forever. This book does not sugar-coat any of the issues it presents. The story is told through newspaper articles, journal entries, homework assingments, letters, and conversations that bring the story to life. I think this book would be a great asset in any high school English class. I highly recommend it to all teachers and students at the high school level. I could not put the book down. It is a great model for different writing genres. This book would work well in units that deal with alcohol abuse, suicide, family relationships, and racism. This book would also be a wonderful model in a creative writing class. I feel anyone who reads it will enjoy it as much as I did. I gave this book 5 stars.

He can't stand beer. Andy was drunk and driving. He was on a highway and hit a wall. The wreck killed Rob. Andy felt so guilty, he took it out on all his friends and his girlfriend Keisha. He started failing in school and acting up. He was seeing a counselor outside of school, but he really didn't want to talk to her. His friends and Keisha stood by him the whole time.

The story focuses on the way in which the boys attempt to deal with a fatal car accident in which they lost their best friend Robbie. Andy and Robbie played on the basketball team together.

Summary: tears of a tiger
Review: Tears of a Tiger is about a boy name Andy whose best friend died in a vehicular homicide accident, and he is still blaming himself for it. I like this book because it was full of exciting events and touching moments. My favorite person is Andy because he deals with a lot, and still tries to play it off. This book is not written like a regular book, it has homework assigament and all types of essays and police reports. Kids who like to read about real life events, I would recommend this book to you espicially teenagers who drink and drive. It might make you think the next time before you take a drink. I am a student in the 8th grade, and don't drink, ( YES! ).

Review: Tears of a Tiger has to be the greatest book I ever read. This book talks abut a group of 4 friends that all of them play basketball at Hazelwood high school basketball team. One day after a basketball game they were drinking and driving Andy's car, but they had an accident one of the guys died (Rob), after the accident Andy was thinking that it was his fault that Rob died in the accident. After the accident Andy began to get mad wit his friends (B.J, Tyron, Gerald, Rhonda, and Keisha), and with his family. One day he got mad with Keisha, and they broke up, after they broke up Andy was sadder then ever and he was thinking wrong things. If you want to know what he was thinking you should read the book. If you started to read the book you going to see that the book is great. The book talks about problem in modern time for young people, if you understand those problems, you should understand the book, and the problems in the world like drinking and driving is a bad combination.

Summary: Very Pleased
Review: The beginning of this book instantly has you craving for more. The book is very realistic with the slang and the everyday situations. The book starts off depressing and ends depressing (really the whole book is drepressing). I really liked this book. I was forced to read this book for a grade, but once I read it I was happy I had to. I really really recommened this book. It shows you how you should not drink and drive and also to take notice to depressed friends because you never know if they are thinking about commiting suicide.

Summary: Great
Review: I am 16 years old.Therefore,I know how teenagers act.Sharon does a very good job of portraying us.We are deeply emotional,sometimes immature,and mostly good at heart-all of which Sharon captures.The ending of this book is dramatic and emotional.I got very choked up and almost to the point of tears.I really liked it and I recommend it to anyone who likes a good true-lifeish story.
