The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace: A Brilliant Young Man Who Left Newark for the Ivy League

It is no surprise to the reader going in that The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace would not end well, but Rob's unnecessary death did not only make me sad, it made me mad!
Such intelligence, such potential, such strength to overcome adversity.....to achieve so much and then throw it all away.....such a waste!
A Yale grad, a great leader, and an admired teacher with a degree in molecular biochemistry and biophysics.....lost to the drug trade. What a dam shame!

I actually had this on my list Carol, but took it off when I was trying to make it a realistic one. I would have been mad too, I think. Nice review, short and to the point!

Nice review, short and to the point!"Thank you Suzanne.......my to-read list is completely out of control and I change my mind what to read on a daily basis!!! :-)
I bought this quite awhile ago. I have actually pared down some of my groups. I feel I'm never getting to the books I WANT to read
It's probably quite sensible Camie. :)) Good luck!
