Summary: let me recommend better books of this sort, TRUST ME!
Review: Well first off the whole concept of Tangerine is incredibly cliche. I mean, a boy who's vision was seriously impaired in a tragic accident, yet he still sees better than most people. How touching. No actually I'm sure my view is slightly biased as I read it for school and that automatically makes it lower on my list. But overall it is most definetley a children's book. If you want something like this but MUCH better, try A Mango-Shaped space or Stargirl or even Dancing on the Edge or Born Blue by Han Nolan. If you are way beyond any of these type books I would recommend Perks of being a Wallflower and Sloppy Firsts and Second Helpings. Sorry to be so irrelevant but seriously, i'm no crazy person who inexplicably hates good books. I just have high standards and this one did not measure up. SO READ THOSE BOOKS! :)

Summary: Tangerine
Review: november 27,2003Tangerine
By Edward Bloor
#0-590-43277-x Paul Fisher's new school doesn't even have any indoor classrooms.
The story of Tangerine starts by the Fisher family moving to Tangerine, Florda.Tangerine used to be the tangerine capital of the world but now Tangerine doesn't even have a tangerine tree in it.Paul Fisher is the youngest son of a family of four.His older brother Eric has a dream in football and paul's dad is right there helping Eric and trying to pushing Paul down the same path but Paul's real love is soccor.His new school in Tangerine wont let him play all because he is legally blind. Now Paul wasn't always blind but he doesn't know how or when he went legally blind.His brother Eric thinks he looked in to an Enclips but is something way deeper than that. Paul thinks he can see fine and even see what other people can't.When the Fishers move Paul starts to have flashbacks and other memories from Tangerine but the only thing is they have never been there before. Read Tangerine and find out what Tangerine,Flordia is really about.
Why should you read Tangerine? I'll tell you why. First Tangerine is a page turner every page kept you wondering what would happen next like when he said "They started to ask who and what was said and I said..." this always would make me read at least ten more pages and he always had a cliffhanger at the end of a page. The whole story kept me interested the whole time but the time I remember the most is when Paul's school is about to sink and Paul is trying to save people from the portables before they sink in a skinkhole. I think alot of people would enjoy this book and have fun reading it. I think people ten to a hundred would fall in love with this book. I think the reason that so many people will love this book is because of the intenseidy and spontaneousness of it.

He has an eyesight problem, his family says he got it form staring at an eclipse but he thinks otherwise. He is in the shadow of his brother Erik, a "star" football player. As Paul lives there he slowly unravels his mysteries about him and others. I reccomend this book from anyone Pre-teen and older. Some parts may be a bit disturbing for younger audiences.

Summary: Tangerine
Review: In the book Tangerine by Edward Bloor, Paul the main character moves to Tangerine High school and meets new fiends. This book is very interesting and has kind of a mystery to it that Paul is trying to figure out during the story.
Paul and his family moved from Houston, Texas to Tangerine couny in Florida. Paul goes to Lake Windsdor High school. When he gets there his biggest worry is do they have a soccer team? Paul finds out that they do have a soccer team. While he goes to Lake Windsdor High something big happens and he transfers schools. He transferred to Tangerine High and then played on the soccer team they had at Tangerine High School.
This book was very interesting and had kind of a mystery to it. It is interesting because the tangerines have to do with Paul somehow. It is also interesting about his obsession with soccer. It also is interesting because of the mystery. The mystery to this book has something to do with the thick glasses he has to wear. The soccer playing also has to do with the mystery. This book Tangerine by Edward Bloor was interesting and had a mystery.
... Paul goes to Lake Windsdor High, but then transfers over to Tangerine high. Pal is trying to figure out how he got so blind in the eclipse. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to read.

Summary: Tangerine
Review: This book was written by A man named Edward Bloor. It was very well written because the beginning sucked me right in. I could relate to what he was going through, because it was non-fiction. It was in tennesee and then the main character(Paul) and his family moved to Florida. The main characters were pretty much him and his family, plus arthur, his brothers friends, and a couple of Pauls friends like Vince. His family consisted of Paul his mom, dad, and his brother.The plot of the story was this. Paul moves to a town in florida but he is forced to go to his town neighbors school for a while because of an accident at his shool. He has to get used to his new neighbors and surrounding while there, and possibly a thief. I liked this book and could definitely read it again.

Summary: Regarding Truth and False Perceptions
Review: "The truth shall set you free"...
That quote is at the center of this magnificent novel by Edward Bloor. The book tells the mysterious story of Paul Fisher, a teenaged soccer player who moves with his family to Tangerine, Florida so that his football-star brother, Erik, can receive more press attention. To everyone except Paul, Erik is the wonderboy of the family; the one who can do no wrong. Paul is the only one who sees what his brother really is- a monster. As the story progresses, more and more details are revealed. What is the real reason Paul is legally blind and is forced to wear thick glasses? What really happened to a local hero that would make him drop dead? The answers to these and many other questions are found within the pages of "Tangerine", a book that will make you laugh, cry, and above all, think.

Summary: A Life Lesson
Review: In every book I read, I always look for some kind of deep meaning in the context. If a book is too shallow, then it does not quallify as a good book. This book is a literal eye opener to the cruelties that go on. There are too many neglected kids in this world who's parents sometimes don't see the pain behind the mask that their kids put on day after day. I highly recomend this to parents of teenagers, because their kids are drifting farther and farther away and this book can help them realize that. That's one of the reasons that Tangerine hit home for me. Me and my half sister don't get a long at all and I know secrets about her that would blow my parents minds if they knew. This book will help open parents minds to the cruelties going on between syblings, and so parents need to be aware of that. I know that when I become a parent, then I will not be totally in the dark about these things. Because of my own experiences, and this book. This is the most meaningful book that I have ever read. For the readers information, I'm not a shrink, I'm just a kid who WANTS their parents to ask a little more questions about why things are going on in their kids lives. And trust me, just because we walk away from our parents, doesn't mean that we don't want to be chased.

Summary: Tangerine
Review: Tangerine, written by Edward Bloor, is a good book for middle and high school students to read. It is about a boy, Paul Fisher, who moved to Tangerine County in Florida where countless strange occurrences happen to him. Paul wonders why people live in this town where underground fires burn for years, a sinkhole swallows part of his school, and lightning strikes the same football field everyday around 4:00 PM. Paul does not understand why he has to wear thick glasses all the time because of a mysterious eye injury. Surprisingly, Paul fits in with the toughest group in school, which turns out to be his soccer team. Something that bothers Paul is that no one can see the terrifying truth about his older brother, Erik. Despite Paul's handicap, he still manages to save citrus trees, stop a crime, and win the soccer championship for his team.
