Summary: Edward Bloor Blows it Major
Review: Bloor has a very hard time getting his characters developed, and he has too many problems which make the story very confusing. Although a story doesn't neccesarily NEED a climax, this book has so many little climaxes it almost becomes predictible. . . Theme is not well developed and unclear (in my opinon.) Bloor does a very good job of keeping the story exactly the way you would have imagined it. Read this book and you'll see what I mean. . .

Summary: It makes you look at life in a different perspective
Review: This book is interesting, full of strange surprises and twists that'll "keep you on your toes." I could say that "Tangerine" is great, but it's so much more than that! Read the book and I'm sure you'll agree, "Tangerine" is a book not to be missed!

Summary: I LOVED THIS BOOK SOOOO MUCH! IT'S THE BEST!!!!
Review: "Tangerine" by Edward Bloor is, I have to say, the best book I've ever read. From the moment I picked it up, I couldn't put it down. It's plot was so wonderfuly told, it's hard to believe this Orlando-based author is even human. I would recommend "Tangerine" to anyone who wants to read a book that will captivate them from beginning to end.

Rating:
Summary: A decent book but highly overrated
Review: A lot of cardboard characters and racial/social stereotypes, a choppy plot-driven narrative, and tedious prose make this book difficult to read. The main character seems to have all the right answers while everybody else, especially adults, are out to lunch. He complains about the Eric Fisher Football Dream, while chasing the Paul Fisher Soccer Dream. The author tries to do too much, especially at the end when it's time to resolve all the loose ends.

Summary: Everyone must read this book!
Review: This was one of the best books I have ever read! I am a 15 year old girl, and I think that this is a great book. After I read it, I gave it to my 13 year old brother to read, and he then gave it to our mom to read. All three of us agree it is a great book for all ages!

Rating:
Summary: Twisted plot, unpredictable, great for reluctant readers
Review: This book shows how one boy with a disability gains courage and becomes friends with the most "unfriendly" group of kids in junior high. Also shows the unusual relationship between Paul and his brother, Erik. You'll be amazed at how his brother treats him. Shows how families that are picture-perfect are nowhere near perfect. Also teaches how the truth can set you free. I loved it and I know junior high students everywhere will love it too.

Summary: LIKE NOTHING I HAVE EVER READ
Review: This book was like nothing I have ever read. The charicters are well developed. You feel like you know them. He remembers his past a lot which adds an intersting twist. I am not a sports person and I still enjoyed it. It's rather dark. If you're the type of person that likes the end of a book to be a nice neat package, DON'T READ THE BOOK. Paul's older brother Eric reminds me of Wayne from the TV seiries, "The Wonder Years".

Summary: A wonderful read for all ages.
Review: I am a middle school teacher who belongs to a book club at school in which we teachers sample and discuss some of the books available to students in our library. This book was one of two chosen by our librarian for our summer reading. This morning I decided that today was the day I would abandon my other reading and 'do my duty'. Am I ever glad I did! Edward Bloor's first book, Tangerine, won't let you put it down. Mr. Bloor, if you are reading this, congratulations. I anxiously await your next book and I can't wait to recommend this book to my students when school resumes.

Summary: Unusual, but good
Review: Tangerine is one of a kind. I really liked this book, but I wish Paul and Erik communicated more. Erik is a total nutcase who can't get himself straightend out. Paul has to put up with Erik and his dad, who always talks about the "Erik Fisher Football Dream." All his dad's dreams are shattered when everyone finds out the truth about Erik.
