Tangerine

Rating:
Summary: A great read
Review: I really liked this book because it is about a middle school boy who faces the hardships that come with wearing glasses. I liked the way he handled it. At the end of the story it becomes a mystery. This is a very good book. I give it five stars.

Summary: Intriguing
Review: Although i read this book two years ago and I have forgetten the specific details of the book, I do remember very well how much I enjoyed this book. I am looking forward to re-reading it soon. For those of you who have not had the wonderful experience of re-reading books, I greatly suggest it; it reveals new meaning and understanding each time. Tangerine is one book that can only truly be appreciated after a second reading because of its complex nature and intricate plots. Many commented that it was too complex but I disagree. Perhaps you did not comprehend it but that gives you no right to diminish the author's talent. As for those of you using it as a book report, although for some it would be possible to do so, Tangerine takes much disection to be able to accurately explain and that is the representation it deserves. I don't suggest it as a book report book, but I do not see any problem with vocabulary. I ask you, how do you expect to learn any vocabulary if you never read books in which there are words you are not familiar with? This book is a perfect oportuniy to do so. I commend those of you who understood this book, and I will only entertain other opinions once the book has been re-read and openly discussed to understand its complex nature.

Review: I loved this book! I recieved it on christmas and didn't stop reading it! I read the whole thing in one day! I thought it was very suspensful and extremely will thought out and written. I enjoyed it very much.

Summary: This is a really unusual, weird, and awesome book!
Review: I liked this book a lot. It hits on some deep subjects which make you - well, me, at least - think. Paul Fisher, a 12-year-old seventh-grader, finds it hard to live up to his older brother, Erik, star football player. Paul Fisher's sport is soccer. When his four-person family moves to Tangerine, Florida, he finds out the truth about a lot of things - even though it isn't what he wants to learn.

Summary: all i can say is this was an excellent boook
Review: okay, where do i start? this was such a great book i couldnt put it down. it was a book that was totally different then any other book ive ever read before. it was written very nicely with so many good things. the town was so weird you just want to just think about it for hours and just wonder "how could anybody want to live there?" but its the type of thing where you learn to love that "weird" town. i know im getting off the subject but what more can i say then it was one of the best books ive read in a long time. and i auctually finished it! (some books bore me so much i never finish)

Summary: OUTSTANDING
Review: This is the best book i have read in a very long time. However if you are like me, and you are a kid who only wants to get the Acelereated Reader points, be sure to pick it up. It is great for ages 10-17 and I think even teens would like this book. If you are doing a book report though, this is not a good choose. There are too many plots which is typical since the book is written like a diary. You can actually see what Paul sees and it is like you don't need to read because you feel you are him and this stuff is happening to you . I thought the characters were one of a kind and if you have any leisure time you should pick up this book and read it. You can't put it down. I couldn't believe my friend didn't read but two pages of it and in those two pages I was hooked. I have read it 5 and a half times now. Like I said OUTSTANDING!

Summary: Very realistic!
Review: I love soccer and the book had a really grasp for the passion that the boy in the story, Paul, has for the sport, it has an itresting "life" story, about his family, girls, friends, bullies, his "handicap" and sports. Read it. Its great.

Summary: HELP ME!
Review: This could be a good book. It has lots of great ideas to get you into it. Problem is... WHAT is the plot? I had to do a book report on this book. The teacher asking about the plot. Well, I could pick from MANY! This book is NOT a good choice for a book report. What a struggle! Also, for a childrens book, it had too many words I had to look up. Then I would have to reread a few paragraphs to get the meaning.

Rating:
Summary: Too unrealistic.
Review: I really think the author did a good job writing the story. I really couldn't put it down, but it was really unrealistic. I really doubt parents would let their son do that to their other son. They would probably get him some help. Read this book if you like reading, but not if you are a very sceptical person.

Rating:
Summary: too complicated with too many ideas not a very good book
Review: Edward Bloor tried too hard to develop too many plots too fast. The book moved around to different topics and got very confusing in the end. I had to reread several paragraphs over again because of flaws and weird changes in the subjects. I didn't really like it, and it had too many depressing endings to too many plots. IT WASN"T VERY GOOD
