Rating:  Summary: Tears of a Tiger Review: This book is about a boy, named Andy, who is trying to deal with the fact that his best friend was recently killed in a car accident, The worst part is that Andy was the driver. This book is very realistic! It is something that could really happen in my school, or even life. Tears of a Tiger is kind of scary. For example, Andy is always thinking about death. He thinks that nobody can help him, or even cares. He wonders things like if Rob is cold. The book is also written in a unique way. It is in the form of conversations, poetry, homework assignments, and letters. I think that the author was very creative. Tears of a Tiger will really touch your heart. I recomend it to people who like books with sad endings. I also recomend it to people who like books that teach a lesson.

Rating:  Summary: jdogg's review Review: Tears of a Tiger shows a great example of depression. It's about a boy named Andy who suffers over his best friends death and feels he's to blame for it. At the same time, Andy's going through depression and is losing the ability to face the future. My favorite thing about the book is that it shows what some black people have to go through in life, and shows how bad it hurts to lose a friend. I like the poetry as well as the story itself, too! I give Tears of A Tiger 5 stars!
Rating:  Summary: Tears of a Tiger Review: Tears of a Tiger is about a boy named Andy Jackson who had problems with his life. He had a lot of friends who cared about him.For example ever day he would be depressed because he killed his friend in car accident.But he got over it.I think he should have put this aside so he can start doing his homework.He should stop thinking about the car accident.It seems like he should not have died in the story.Half of this book is about Andy.The part about Andy killing himself should have not been in the story.I think this was a good story.
Rating:  Summary: tears of a tiger Review: There were three boys named Rob, B.J., Andy. They were good friends for a long time. One day after a basketball game, Andy and his friends went for a ride. Andy and Rob were drinking, but B.J. was not drinking. then they heard all these cars honking the horn at them, and they were laughing. then this wall emerge from nowhere,and they hit it. Andey and B.J. got out of the car, but Rob was still in it. they could not see him, but they could see a pair of new nike shoes, sticking out of the window. They knew that it was Rob. Andy and B.J. were trying to get rob out of the car, but the car was on fire. And it got worse. they tried and tried but they could not get him out. Rob died at the hospital on Nov 8. He was only 17 years old. He was the captain of the Hazelwood team. The next three days Andy and B.J. were at school. everybody was sad about Rob, they were crying. Even Andy was sad, because Rob was his best friend.This is why you should not drink and drive,because you would have to face consequences. Some people have to go to jail because they do this kind of stuff. I liked reading this book because it tells you that you should not drink and drive.

When Andy got in the car and drove off, they got into an accident and one of his best friends died. When he goes back to school the next day, everybody was mad at him and wouldn't talk to him. He started thinking it was his fault, and he had a terrible dream about it. My favorite character was BJ because he goes to church and plays basketball. I really did like the book because the ending was surprising.

Andy and his girlfriend broke up because she got tired of him.
Rating:  Summary: tears of a tiger Review: Tears of a tiger is a very realistic view of teenage life. It's about a 17 yearold boy that got into a car crash and he blames himself for killing his bestfriend. He turns away from his famillly,friends,and teachers. But at the end Andy just could not face life anymore so he just ..........well I cain't tell you that so read the book. I liked this book because of the news paper articles,notes,poems and conversations in the locker room,between the guys. I recommend this book for all ages because if you ae young then you will probably see what not to do if you get in that situation.
