Tangerine

Rating:
Summary: A fabulous read for both adults & young adults!
Review: This is a really great book! My 12 year old son recommended I read it. I was enthralled. I've passed it on to many adults since then. Can be read on 2 levels - straight for the story or for a deeper, more meaningful look at a family lost in suburbia. Lots of symbolism. A great book for a discussion group. Just wonderful!

Summary: The Best Book of the Century!
Review: Well, maybe it's not that good, but it's the best book I've ever read! A definite 100 billion star! Filled with suspense and excitement, this is by far in my top two favorite books! It ranks up there with Harry Potter!! As soon as I picked up the book, it was glued to my hands until I finished the book. This book is a definite worthwhile one for both kids and adults. Take my advice - go and buy the book, make sure you have two or three days with no interruptions and ....READ IT!!

Summary: Awesome
Review: This is a great book for anyone and everyone. It was hard to put down, even the second time around. It teaches you that not everybody appears the same to them as to you.

Summary: THIS BOOK WAS SO COOL!!!!!!!!!
Review: I thought that this book was really good, but I noticed that at first the auther said the Lake Winsdor Downs team wasn't very good, and later they were playing Tangering County in the championship! Overall, I LOVED it!!!!!

Summary: Fantastic, it holds you enthralled
Review: I'm a writer who's researching the YA market -- the other books I picked up at the library. My responses ranged from "give me a break" to moderate interest -- until I picked up Tangerine. I sat riveted and read it from cover to cover, enchanted by the bizarre setting, even the strange occurences -- which fit in perfectly within the book's universe. Especially good Paul's very real feelings as he searches for his identity; and the description of a family where lies have layered over the members' lives for so many years that it seems impossible that the truth will ever be told.

Summary: Awesome! That's the only word for it!
Review: Tangerine was the best book I have ever read. It's suspence inside of suspence. With a twisted mystery and strong characters, it kept me on the edge of my seat.

Rating:
Summary: This book deserves ten stars minimum!
Review: In a wonderful story where good faces evil, Tangerine is probably my favorite book ever. Edward Bloor has a great writting style which uses many lierary terms. In this story, Paul Fisher faces many difficulties after moving from Texas to Florida. I won't give away the end, but it's great. If I had a chance, I'd give this book 1,000,000,000,000,000,000.5 stars! I recommend it to anyone on this world

Summary: Wow! It was great. You never want to put it down.
Review: I loved the book. It was hard to put down. I liked how paul got on a good soccer team and became best friends with the team. It had some very sad parts but I kept on reading. It turned out to be a nice ending.

Summary: A touching story of friendship, heartache, and love.
Review: Wow. Tangerine by Edward Bloor was a beautiful story about a 12-year-old boy named Paul Fisher. He had just moved to Tangerine, Florida and started playing a sport that he enjoys and exells in- soccor; although discouraged because of his "legally blind" status. After spending more time with his "tough" hispanic teammates he finds that they really care about him. Paul looks for answers about his bottle-thick glasses and finds the horrifying secret behind his older brother Eric's "Football Star" title. This book will keep you in suspense and has a tear-jerking ending.

Rating:
Summary: This book deserves a 6 star!!!
Review: Not only is this book wonderfully written, it is so realistic. I can imagine being in middle school with Paul. Basically, when the Fisher family moves to a new developement in Florida, everyone finds their place. Eventually. Paul must go to a whole new school to play on the school soccer team because he is "legally blind". That doesnt stop him. Erik, his older brother, is into football and his dad, is completly into the "Erik Fisher's Football Dream". Paul's mom is into the homes in the community. No one but Paul knows the truth about Erik. Not until Luis Cruz comes along. This is a great and superb book and I would recomend it in a flash.
