Rating:  Summary: Tangerine review Review: Tangerine is a great book. It is well writen and full of excitement. Paul, who moves to Lake Windsor Downs, finds himself in the worst place ever where there are thunderstorms everyday and muck fires that are constantly burning. With Paul's dad focused on nothing but the "Erik Fisher Football Dream" they are trying to hide the truth from Paul about his glasses and make his brother, Erik, the star. They say he looked an eclipse, but Paul finds out something else. I would recomend this book to anyone with an imagination and who likes books with a twisted ending.
Rating:  Summary: Tangerine Review, Jeremy Hahn 13 years old Review: I rate this book 3 out of 5 stars. This book is really good because of all of the events that take place. Paul the narrator plays on a great soccer team, but it took a hard time to get on it. He has to meet new friends who he gets along with pretty well.Erik, his brother, has a football dream. He wants to get into a good colledge.Erik gets into trouble and everything falls about.The place they moved to has storms everyday at the same time; along with a lot of citrus groves. The thing i didn't like about this book was that it didn't give a lot of detail at tyhe ending.This is why i rated the book 3 stars. You should read this book if u like a book that is mysterious.
Rating:  Summary: Ian reviews "Tangerine" Review: Bloor's in-depth look at each character is refreshing in the reality of cut-out characters inhabiting most young adult novels. Virtually every character has a life all their own; by the end of the novel I know everyone's history, motivations, and likely next move. However, Paul Fisher, the narrator of the story, seems too flawless. The only mistakes he make seem to be deliberately placed by the author, and hence out of his control. He also has more foresight than any other character and even corrects many of the adults about their mistakes throughout the novel. Besides communicating character, another Bloor writing style I like is his use of suspense. Throughout the last third of the novel, all the loose ends began tying into the central conflict. As more and more begins riding on the one issue, I wanted more and more to know how it would resolve.
Rating:  Summary: Too disturbing for many readers Review: This book contains very disturbing scenes of violence between family members. Kids like books that deal with sibling problems, because most kids experience those problems themselves. They may identify with the younger brother in this book, and then be horrified by the physical torture and permanent damage his brother inflicts on him. This book gave me nightmares.
Rating:  Summary: Excellent Review: I read this book and it was DEFINATELY a page turner, I couldn't put it down! I loved the book and recommend it to anyone who likes mystery!! I got so involved in the book, I cried, laughed, and even got mad, right along with the characters in the book!! This book is excellent and everyone should read it!
Rating:  Summary: The Juiciest Tangerine Ever! Review: This book has incredible text. I loved this book because of the twists and character development. Paul loves to play soccer but his brother loves football. To Paul his brother is not the big all-star that he is to every other citizen in his county because Paul knows his evil secret! I would recommend this book to all readers from ages 10-14.
Rating:  Summary: A Juicy book filled with excitment Review: A Book That Breaks the Mold Between Childhood and Teenage Life. Tangerine is a book where a preteen tries to solve hid problems in a puzzle-piece way. The troubled teen Paul has a mysterious eye injury (he stared at a solar eclipse). He fights to find the truth about his evil brother Eric and his best friend Joey. His friend Louis Cruz dies. But he gained new friends, new problems, and new adventures. Paul is also a super star goalie! But not like any other preteen he finds out the terrifying truth about his brother, himself, and death. This book is for people with a loss, a person in a new community, or, is going to be a preteen. Everyone should inquire this book. This book was one of Edward Bloor's first and one of his best. Try reading more books by Bloor, he's a book genius! Bloor also wrote crusader. Was this review helpful to you ? :) :) :) :)
Rating:  Summary: one of the most thrilling books ever Review: having been in a weird accident of looking atan eclipse, paul legally loses his eyesight, although he knows he can see just fine. although he is the best goalie in the league, his dad pays no attention to him and spends his time thinking about his older brothers football career in high school, where he is a star. another thing his parents don't know is that eric is extremely cruel, and has some dark secrets that paul is trying to figure out, as well as the truth about his eyesight. this book rules. i couldn't put it down for days. it has mystery, excitement, everything you could hope for. definitely read this book.
Rating:  Summary: An Abomination Review: I'll start off by saying I dislike realistic fiction, and this book barely even fits under that genre. There will be a few minor spoilers in this review, so be prepared. The protagonist in this book is Paul Fisher, a soccer-playing guy from Texas who moved to Florida. I don't know what the author was thinking when he decided what Paul was like. For example, in his new neighborhood, there is pond with Japanese fish in it called Koi. Paul was thinking he was only one in the entire world who could ever possibly think that birds would for some reason eat fish. Then at a meeting about the Koi, Paul says that birds are eating the Koi, and they ask him, "Why didn't you tell us this before?" And then he says, "No one asked me." No one asked him then either, though. There are also some parts that don't make sense. For example, Paul's brother Erik and his friend Arthur indirectly kill someone, and are about to beat Paul up because his friends beat them up. So then Paul tells them he saw Arthur "kill" the person, and they get scared and run away, and that makes no sense either.. Another glaring problem in this book is the lack of describing anything. There are about 3 or 4 places in the book that describe anything. The book is filled with lines like "So I entered the living room and sat down on the chair." and "Blue and white tents were on the houses." If you enjoy gaps in the plot, a bland setting, and idiots for characters, then you'll probably enjoy this book. If not, I'd recommend to steer clear of this disgrace to literature.
