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.

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.

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.

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.

Summary: Tangerine review
Review: At the beggining of this book I thougtht I woudnt like it. But then when I sarted to get farther in it was realy good. The author made it so that you would seem like the good guys in the story would never turn bad, but they did and how people were living lies. Also this book isn't all fairy tale descriptive. When it talks about Florida the author doesn't talk about the sunny days, the beaches and the glamours women. he tells you how it realy is in tangerine county. He tallks about the muck fires, all of the mosquitos and about the hardships that citrus fruit farmers have when the chill of night can wipe out an entire crop. This book is also kind of a mystery.Like how Paul has visions of the past to help him figure out how he is the person he is today.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Tangerine
Review: This story is about a teenager named Paul Fisher. He has moved to Tangerine country from Houston. He loves soccer and can't wait to play on the team at Tangerine. As he is trying out, the coach reviews his medical form and reads that he is legally blind. This makes him wish he had never moved.
Meanwhile, about a week after his soccer tryouts, his school portables are eaten up by a massive land slide, causing many teachers to lose their classrooms. Half of the kids are transfered to a nearby school until the school portables are back up. Now paul tryous out for this school's soccer team and doesn't show the coach his forms. Now he is on "the bus".
As the story progresses on, it talks about Paul's menacing brother (Erik), him helping in his friend's tangerine grove, and the soccer team winning the state soccer championship aginst his old team.

Summary: Sweet but Acidic like a Tangerine
Review: This is a very thought-provoking book, about a kind of cast-aside, unwanted kid who lives in a family where his older brother, who is loved and coddled by his parents, is horrible and evil. The parents are unwilling to believe this, and protect the brother, even to the extent of sacrificing an innocent person's life, and the main character, Paul's, eyesight. But Tangerine is a strange town where buried truths are laid bare...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Citrus Tang for the Soul
Review: Bloor is a masterful storyteller that deals with heavy issues without plundering the plot of his story. His characters have a great deal of texture and gritty realism. This book crosses socio-economic lines as well as rifts in gender and generation to appeal to readers of all ages. Most wonderful is his ability to build suspense and provide an unblinking gaze at real life evil.
