...horrible ending.
the mystery of how paul was blinded happened to be the only thing interesting for me. the rest is merely a series of strange events happening at the school, and soccer drama. the ending completely ruined the intrest i had in the rest of the book.

this book was a story about a boy struggling to fit in with his family life. His older brother is a star and he always feels like the "geek" Its a good book but sad.I recomend it to teen readers but also to aldult who are interested in the struggle.

tangerine -- so far
honestly, it's hard to focus. this was assigned to me, and so i can only really pay attention when i try hard. once you get into it and read a few chapters, it's really well-written. it's a page-turner. i like to keep reading it, nonstop for every 3 or so chapters. i'm reading a few other books at the moment, and this is byfar my second favorite. i'm currently enjoying it.

I liked the suspense of this book and it had just the right amount of every emotion in it. My only complaint: after all the building mystery around the question 'what really happened to his eyes that caused his vision problem and why cant he remember' the awnser (his bro sprayed the spray paint in them) is just not exciting. I really was hoping for something bigger and quite frankly badder. Because of that it was one star shy of perfection in my rating.): its a good book for 12 year olds like myself.

Ewwwwwwwwww!
I had to read this book for a class book report. i really didnt enjoy it. Toward the end, it became a little intresting, but the story line is kinda stupid. Where these crtics get this coming of agness from it, i dont understand. Storyline sucked, but it did have its moments. You really did feel bad for Paul when he remembered why he is wearing those bottle cap glasses. But overall i wouldnt reccomend it to many. Little to boring.

This is one of the most thrilling books I have ever read. It is a great mixture of hysteria, mystery, realistic fiction and tradegy. At the end I almost cried! All in all, though, this is a great must-read no matter if you like soccer or not!

BORING!!!!!!!!!!
I thought that Tangerine was a pointless boring book with absolutely no meaning to it what so ever. I usually like these sort of books, but Tangerine put me to sleep. I had to read a Coming-of-Age novel for a book report so I read Tangerine, but after reading it I wish I never would have.

This book is a very dissapointing book, Paul keeps on babbling on and on about his brother, yet about 1/4 of the book focuses on him. And the kids at his talk with a street accent.... who talks like that for one thing. And nobody says 'gangstas' anymore... This book only exciting part was at it's end, other than that, the plot was terrible, lousy characters, and annoying language speaking.... Mr.Bloor, you need to reformat this book heavily

Tangerine
I read Tangerine for a project, but was very dissapointed. The plot was confusing, the characters odd, and the book was cloudy. the writing is fair, and the incidents in the story memorable, the book was dull to me. Good books should provide an escape from our troubled world. This book doesn't, making it entirely worthless. This book definitely does not deserve any awards.

Good, but disapointing
The books premise was interesting, but as the book went on, and more was revealed, it was less interestilng. At times,it was a good book, even great , but the ending was disapointing. Good, but nothing great.

This book is about a middle school-aged boy named Paul Fisher wh
This book is about a middle school-aged boy named Paul Fisher who moves from Huntsville, Texas to Tangerine County in Florida. He has an eyesight problem and wears coke-bottle glasses. His brother, Erik Fisher, plays football as a placekicker, but has had a history of abusing his little brother. When Paul enrolls into his new middle school at Lake Windsor Downs, he says that he would want to play as a goalie for the soccer team. He makes it as starting goalie, but his coach discovers his eyesight problem and kicks him off the team to avoid his coaching license from being suspended by the league. Later in the year, the middle school gets destroyed in a sinkhole, which makes Paul have to transfer to Tangerine middle school. There, the kids are a lot tougher and aggressive. When Paul joins the soccer team, rivalries begin to grow between students. Paul's friend Joey Costello from Lake Windsor Middle School, who has joined Paul at Tangerine, has rivalries of his own and loses Paul's grip of friendship. Though Erik Fisher is still at Lake Windsor High, and rivalries between Lake Windsor and Tangerine leads to fights and deaths throughout the course of the book. What I really liked about this book was its complex plot of the building friendships and the endurance of the sporting events. I would recommend this book to anyone in high school or middle school who enjoys sports and how relationships are built through them.
