 * __ Tears of a Tiger __ **
 * Have you ever lost someone that you loved and cared for? Have you ever thought about going suicidal because the pain and guilt is driving you crazy? Well you are not alone. Many people get like that, even Andy. Tears of a Tiger is a very heartwarming and moving book. This book gives out a message that you can take with you for the rest of your life. Sharon M. Draper is a wonderful and creative author that has a big imagination that could please anybody and leave a deep impression. **


 * The book is about a group of friends that try to cope with the death of their friends. I especially liked when the author shows you what was going on before the accident had taken place. It shows you that it only takes one wrong decision to change your life forever. The detail in Tears of a Tiger is very explanatory and also very suspenseful, for his reason it makes the book worth reading. **


 * The main characters are Andy Jackson, Robert Washington (Robby), Gerald Nickleby, B.J Carson, Keisha Montgomery, Tyrone Mills, and Rhonda Jeffries. Andy and Robby are best friends and they both play on the school basketball team. They talk to each other about anything and everything. They are athletic, outgoing and very dependable and very into girls. They also best friends with B.J, Tyrone, and Gerald. B.J is the shy one in the group but still open. Tyrone is Rhonda’s boyfriend and is Andy’s main man. Gerald is very nice and sensitive. He is also very respectful to others. Now on top Keisha, she is Andy’s girlfriend and is very respectful. She really cares about her friends and family. Keisha is best friends with Rhonda. Rhonda is very nice and patient with her friends. Whenever Keisha has a problem Rhonda is always there to listen to her. The characters in the book make it worth reading because the feeling that put out is so real and it makes it feel like the book is happening right then and there. **

** In conclusion I believe that Tears of a Tiger by Sharon M. Draper is an awesome book. One reason why it is because of the lifelong message puts out. Also because of the wonderful and interesting characters. Finally because of the explanatory detail in the book. Those are the reasons why I think Tears of a Tiger is a good book. I recommend this book to teens to read. **
 * I really thought the setting was interesting. I think this because the story takes place in a high school. So this book tells you that all this is happening to teenagers. Honestly, I think that’s a lot for a teen to handle. No kid should have to go through losing a loved one. It’s very depressing because I have lost my little brother and it’s hard to go on in life with your loved one not with you. That’s how I thought the setting was interesting. **
