Hi Jeff, I just wanted to let you know that I read The Short Tragic Life of Robert Peace three years ago now, and I am still talking about it. In fact, I am currently interviewing for medical schools, and I have brought this book up as one of the most important and impactful books I have ever read. Thank you for impacting my life with this book. And for following my reviews on Goodreads!?
Jeff Hobbs
Thank you so much for this kindest of messages. I’m sorry I’m only just getting to it now. It means a lot, for real. I miss him. The film adaptation is now on Netflix. I hope you have been well in the meantime and I’d be interested in learning of any other book recommendations you might have that have similarly moved you? Best, Jeff

Hi Jeff, Inasmuch as the story about Rob was also a story about you, did you find it difficult to tell? Did you get any push back from others in the story? Did you ever feel threatened in the course of your research? I hope your wonderful book inspires people in difficult circumstances to see their own potential and elite schools to do more for students facing the kind of transition Rob was. Susan

I finished this book three nights ago. I feel this book carries several themes throughout but for me I felt love was one of the strongest... the love between Jackie and Rob, the love Rob had for his friends, his friends for him and the love you had for your roommate. So my question is what is the status of the rift between Jackie and the Burger Boyz? How are they doing?
