Summary: "The Best Book Ever"
Review: Tangerine is the BEST book I have ever read! I love that book soooooo... much. It feels so real when your reading it you actually feel like you know Paul Fisher. This book has a lot of feeling and reality. What it says in the book is reality and what you read from the book is all stuff true about life. I think everyone who is 12+ would love this book. It's good forever, never can you just read it once! Thanks Edward Bloor for the best book ever!

Summary: The blind can see
Review: I don't know what drew me to this book. I really like children's fiction and young adult fiction, but normally I wouldn't say that I like sports fiction. Thankfully, while the main character and his brother are both into soccer and football respectively, the story does not dwell too much on the games. This book is presented as a diary, but it flows like a novel (contrast this to something like the Basketball Diaries). Diary formats seem to be very popular with kids these days, so the format ought to be compelling. I found that I really liked the narrator. I would agree with some of the other reviews that claim the secondary characters are a bit sketchy, but this is a diary. Unlike other diary books, the secondary characters are not outrageous collections of idiosycrasies. I found this book absorbing and also a little disturbing. The ending raised a lot of issues - parenting issues. I don't think that teenagers would likely be as troubled by the ending as I was. All in all, though, it was a very good book.

Summary: REALLY GOOD BOOK
Review: This book was mostly about a boy named Paul and his older brother Eric. Eric played football, and Paul played soccer. They were both pretty good, but Eric, being the older one, got all the attention. Eric was also a bully. The story was really good, and fun to read. All the sub-plots were really interesting, and emotional. It was the kind of book that could make you cry, and then before the tears had even dried, you would find yourself laughing uncontrollably. I would recommend this book to everyone.

Review: Great book! It was very interesting. I mean--I usually HATe sport books.( Harry Potter doesn't count! How can one not cheer for Harry in the exciting game of Quidditch?) This book, however, got me cheering for Paul! I recommend this book to anyone who has a little free time on hand and is not afraid to use it efficently.

Summary: Tangerine: not just a book.
Review: Paul Fisher may seem like he is blind but it turns out that he sees better than everyone in his school, family and maybe the whole population of Tangerine county. Paul and his family move to Tangerine County where the new house district had just been finished. What they came to was a disaster waiting to happen and it does. With fires that burn constently and daily afternoon lighting storms Paul finds things much more different than they were in Houstan. I mean sure his older brother gets all the attention because of his football future like back in Texas but why can't Paul be noticed because of his ability? And why can't Paul remember anything about his past childhood? And why does his accedent with his eyes not convince him? Find all these things out and more by reading Tangerine. This book will have you cheering Paul on in is soccer games and gasping at uncovered truths.

Summary: Pathetically boring
Review: "Tangerine" had quite some potential for an interesting plot, but an attempt by Edward Bloor to intertwine many plots together completely failed. To make things even more boring, writing format is nothing out of the ordinary and seems to have been written by a third-grader. In other words, the writing style in "Tangerine" will set you to sleep.Character development is ridiculously non-evident. Setting descriptions are poor. Characters are described in a way so that a reader feels no sympathy. In fact, you may find yourself reading words instead of soaking in a nice story. The plot is unbearably ridiculous and you will NEVER find yourself turning a page in high anticipation of what is to happen. This book is not worth your time. Don't even bother~ especially if "Tangerine" is on your optional summer reading list.

Summary: Tangerine
Review: This is the best book that I have ever read. I would reccommend that anyone who is into choices books reads this. My favorite part of this book was when Paul's (the main character), older brother got arrested because him and his friend killed someone because he was kind of a punk. I really enjoyed this book even though it was a class assignment...

Summary: Tangerine review
Review: When I first started this book I thought it would be a typical boring young adult book,(in fact the only reason I ended up reading it is because I was bored and I saw it on the floor) how wrong I was! I was imediately captivated by its exciting storyline filled with sybling rivalry, exciting sports scenes, excellent characters, and even murder. Definitely a look a wonderful book and I recommend it to every one.
