Summary: A VARY good book
Review: This half sports story, half adventure story takes place in western Florida where muck fires rage wild underground and it rains every day. The book's main character is named Paul. Paul's older brother, Erik, is the star of the High School football team. Paul's sport is soccer and after a sinkhole swallows the school, he starts going to the town's other school, which makes him fit in with the toughest kids, who happen to be the soccer players. At the same time, something is terribly wrong with Eric, and no one can see it except Paul. This was a very good book because it was realistic. "

Summary: This is an AWESOME BOOK!
Review: I picked out this book for a school novel, and from the introduction to the end, I was glued to it! It's written in an interesting way, very descriptive and intriguing. You really get into it, during all parts, from the sports games to the climax. The characters come to life, and each one has surprises and secrets for Paul Fisher. I think this book deserves a 5 star rating because it is the BEST! Read it, because you will LOVE it!

Summary: Edward Bloor Blows it Major
Review: Bloor has a very hard time getting his characters developed, and he has too many problems which make the story very confusing. Although a story doesn't neccesarily NEED a climax, this book has so many little climaxes it almost becomes predictible. . . Theme is not well developed and unclear (in my opinon.) Bloor does a very good job of keeping the story exactly the way you would have imagined it. Read this book and you'll see what I mean. . .

Summary: It makes you look at life in a different perspective
Review: This book is interesting, full of strange surprises and twists that'll "keep you on your toes." I could say that "Tangerine" is great, but it's so much more than that! Read the book and I'm sure you'll agree, "Tangerine" is a book not to be missed!

Summary: I LOVED THIS BOOK SOOOO MUCH! IT'S THE BEST!!!!
Review: "Tangerine" by Edward Bloor is, I have to say, the best book I've ever read. From the moment I picked it up, I couldn't put it down. It's plot was so wonderfuly told, it's hard to believe this Orlando-based author is even human. I would recommend "Tangerine" to anyone who wants to read a book that will captivate them from beginning to end.

Rating:
Summary: A decent book but highly overrated
Review: A lot of cardboard characters and racial/social stereotypes, a choppy plot-driven narrative, and tedious prose make this book difficult to read. The main character seems to have all the right answers while everybody else, especially adults, are out to lunch. He complains about the Eric Fisher Football Dream, while chasing the Paul Fisher Soccer Dream. The author tries to do too much, especially at the end when it's time to resolve all the loose ends.

Rating:
Summary: Everyone must read this book!
Review: This was one of the best books I have ever read! I am a 15 year old girl, and I think that this is a great book. After I read it, I gave it to my 13 year old brother to read, and he then gave it to our mom to read. All three of us agree it is a great book for all ages!

Rating:
Summary: Twisted plot, unpredictable, great for reluctant readers
Review: This book shows how one boy with a disability gains courage and becomes friends with the most "unfriendly" group of kids in junior high. Also shows the unusual relationship between Paul and his brother, Erik. You'll be amazed at how his brother treats him. Shows how families that are picture-perfect are nowhere near perfect. Also teaches how the truth can set you free. I loved it and I know junior high students everywhere will love it too.
