Review: Tears of a Tiger
Tears of a Tiger by Sharon M. DraperMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I grabbed this book as part of a freak-out load up, as I accidentally discovered, with one hour left to go, that my local library was closing for two weeks.
The writing was well-done, and very creative. The story is told from multiple points of view and methods of storytelling: conversations, newspaper articles, letters to a friend, notes passed in class, poetry written by students, etc. I was held captive by this slow, almost haphazard uncovering of the unraveling of the one of the main characters, Andy, who was suffering from guilt over being a drunk driver who caused a crash in which one of his best friends died.
**Spoiler**
Andy eventually commits suicide due to his guilt. I did not expect that ending. It was so dark and sad. I think current social and political events has left me emotionally vulnerable. I was not ready for this ending and I actually felt like I hated it. I needed an uplifting ending but I was denied. But what did I expect? "Tears of a Tiger" is the title.
