Summary: A Good Boook to "Sink" Into!
Review: Tangerine was about a young seventh grade boy named Paul, who was told he could go to a different school instead of doing split sessons with the sixth grade. This was because of a sink hole near his neighborhood school,so he did. At his new school he wanted to play soccer. The coach tells Paul that he could play backup goalie. Paul dosen't like it at first, but then they start to play games and Paul goes in for anyone. Then someone's brother dies because of Pauls older brother Erik. Paul gets into some trouble because everyone thinks Paul did it. I really liked the ending but won't give it away! It was a great book, and I recommend it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must-read for teens and adults
Review: Bloor has created a set of very memorable characters in this novel, set in Tangerine, Florida. Young Paul is a vulnerable, sensitive young teen with a dysfunctional family situation. His mother, very active in her community, is, at best, a Junior Leaguer, and his father is obsessed with his brother's high school football career. Rarely does Paul see one of his parents at his soccer games. When his mother does attend one of his games while he is playing for Tangerine Middle School, she sits with the parents from the opposing team. Paul is plagued with sketchy memories of a very frightening event from his childhood, and as he discovers the source of these memories, he realizes horrible things about his family. This novel is not completely dark, though. There are wonderfully uplifting scenes that involve Paul and his new friends at Tangerine Middle School. Humor colors much of this book. This is a tale that demonstrates the values of persistence and determination, and it depicts personal triumph for young Paul. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR TEENS AND ADULTS.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Thirsting for Citrus
Review: Wow.

That's all I can say; wow. The book was fantastic. Edward Bloor, I'm an automatic fan!

Mystery, drama, ooh, I read the book in two days and at every spare opportunity. Remind me never to move to the Southern US...at least not where 'lightning strikes the same playing field everyday' and 'underground fires' burn forever...definitely not!

The only thing to complain about (wait, is there something?), at least for me, was the soccer. I don't play soccer, so that kind of limited the audience in some parts...but still, I really connected with Paul. He's great.

Wow.

Summary: A Tangy treat of a read
Review: Paul Fisher maybe a geek with glass, but he can see a lot of stuff that his clueless parents seem to miss. Paul notices his brother, a local football hero, is torturing his classmates with his friend. Paul starts to see through the lies that his family tells him about his poor eyesight, and finally a crazy town like Tangerine (where giant sinkholes swallow schools, underground fires burn for years and lightning strikes everyday) brings into focus a lost memory. This novel has a "gothic" feel to it, and like a tangerine it is full of flavor and refreshing.

What a surprising well crafted novel...despite the less than appealing covers on the hardback and the paperback this book is worthy of your time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: what is erik really about?
Review: Paul has been wearing his thick glasses since as long as he can remember. The only reason he knows he has to wear them is because of " looking into an ecllipse". The rest of his family knows the real truth but why can only Paul see what his brother Erik is really about. Erik is the all-american boy with high football dreams and everything a boy could be. But when they move to Tangerine Fl, Paul finds out something about his brother that will haunt him and his family for the rest of their life. I think this was a very, very, good book. I read it in a book club but then hurried and got my own copy. It has become one of my favorite books. You can re-read it many times and find out something new.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Going from a Nerd to a Tough Guy
Review: I enjoyed seeing Paul go from a nerd with coke bottle glasses, to a tough guy at St.Anthony's Middle School. This book sparked my interest because it showed that anyone can change. Tangerine is about a guy named Paul who is in Junior High who moves to Tangerine, Florida, (hence the name) who has a mysterious problem with his eyes. His older brother, Eric, has a dark secret. Can Paul gather enough courage to expose him?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Boom to Read! Tangerine
Review: This was a good book. But, it was also sad for Paul who hadIEP because he got kicked off of the soccer team. This book had somedeaths and it was sad when the people died. Paul's brother was weird and mean. He laughed when the person died. When there was a sinkhole it was sad but Paul was brave because he saved people. Then he transfered to Tangerine Middle School and played soccer. That was a very happy part. Now I'm not going to give away any more of the book but it had some sad, happy, and funny parts. I would strongly reccomend this to people. If you have Eye Problems this book would make you feel better about yourself. I would read this book again beacuse it is soooooooo good! Read Tangerine. You won't regret it...

Rating: 5 stars
