Written Book Review

The book that I have read for the past month is called, Tears of a Tiger. By, Sharon M. Draper. The genre of this book is realistic fiction because, all of these events can happen in real life but there are things that can be fictional. A topic that was addressed quite a bit was Keisha. Keisha was the main character, Andy’s girlfriend. They broke up because they both were over-reacting. They were using stupid reasons to break up.
I think that the characters are really interesting because they each have a very interesting role. I would recommend this book to people that like to read about real life stories and things that are dramatic. This novel has things that are very true about people like how people may over react because they are so angry. There are some people that would hate it too. The people that would hate this book are people that like books that get right to the point, because this book, in the beginning, is boring. That is just my opinion. The first few pages are really good! But the next pages were very boring to me.
I think that a character that is not described very much but is very important is the therapist. Specifically, Andy’s therapist. I think that this character is important because the therapist always is trying to help and solve Andy’s problems. I think that showing support for this partner is important because Andy is always being looked down upon by the whites. They think he can’t do anything, and that he and his friends are stupid. But they are actually really smart but they only play dumb because that is what everybody expects from them.
I personally really liked this book because it reminded me to never discriminate against anybody just because they are different. I think that everyone is different anyway and unique in their own way. I respect that a lot. I hope that everyone that reads this novel and this review learn the same.
