Tangerine Audiobook

" Borrowed this book from my nephew. He had to read it over the summer for his school. I found the book fascinating. I read the book during the week when I had a chance and thought the message and the premise was perfect for a young teen. Not that he wanted to read it - after all it was the summer "

" This book tackles a lot and it grew on me as I got further into it. "

" I enjoyed this book because it kept me guessing for many parts. It had a mystery because the protagonist doesn't know how he really became legally blind. He has flashbacks to the day, but nothing comes in clearly for him. His older brother gets all the attention for his football skills while he is an excellent soccer player. Just like Maniac Magee he sees no difference in people based on skin color. I loved the theme of the book. "

" I liked this book because it was different then other books I have read. This book is different then others I have read because everything that happened in the book lead up to the big ending. "

" A whine fest. The book would have been better if it were written from the perspective of Paul's sociopathic older brother, Eric. But then it would be a totally different book and would probably read like a milder version of "We need to talk about Kevin," which would have a different audience as well. "

" Meh. It had some good parts but in the end it was just boring. Sure, it was cool that it turns out his brother is a dick in the end but the book was just filled with unnecessary details. No one cares about the houses and the Tudors and the whatnots. No one wants to hear every god damn detail of your soccer game. Even though I enjoyed the kind of creepy narrative (I'm a morbid person) the book was just...meh. "

" This is one of the best books ever written. And whoever disagrees has heard no such thing about the heart and felt none of the cold realities of life. "

" It was amazing. Paul captures your attention and holds it till the very end. This story is filled with so many things it keeps you mind going. This is the best book I've read this year. "

" Tangerine was a swell book, that taught many life lessons. It has a great theme, and I think that the theme is that eventually, justice will be done. "

" A deceptively easy read for nine years old and up. This book confronts or alludes to a lot of tough issues, so if your students read this, build in a lot of talk time. If it's your child reading this, read it too and talk about it with them. "

" This book has many conflicts that a person might have in their life. In this book Paul Fisher has to deal with his conflicts and he goes through many challenges to fix his conflicts. "

" I thought this book was OK but it had to many sudden deaths and natural disasters. It started off the chapter twice saying in the first sentience "so and so is dead." Thats the only thing i did not like about this book. "

" Great view into the mind and life of a young boy dealing with a handicap and dysfunctional family. No one is normal. "

" This is a really good book. Even though I'm still currently reading this book, it is really interesting. I can't stop reading. "

" its not that bad but its kind of weird over all i liked it. "

" I highly recommend this book to boys or girls that are passionate about sports. The soccer scenes are so well written that I got excited to see the result (and I'm not a sports nut). It's a sports twist on considering prejudice and family dynamics. "

" This is a great chapter book that shows the true meaning of friendship, hard work, and bravery. It takes a lot to stand up to your friends, but even more to stand up to your family. "

" Could not get into this book. "

" It was a ood book especially being a soccer player it was very relatable. "

" Tangerine was... the only way I could really describe it is: meh. Edward Bloor had the suspense, but it was more of the annoying type of suspense. "

" I really like this book because it was realistic, but contained elements of a mystery. What did happen to Paul Fisher's eyes? "

" I liked it I just wish it told more about what happened to the Fishers after Erik was arrested. "

" i read this book for school. not a personal choice. "

" it was Very inspireing and i loved every minute of it "

" i didnt like it. we read it for school. "

" This book is ok. If you just started to read it my advise is to keep reading. The begining is slow and rather boring, but the middle and end are really good. "

" I loved this book! There is this kid at my school who reminds me a lot of him. "

" I really liked it but i was expecting a bit more. The secret part kinda let me down when i finished the book because i kept on waiting for something to jump out. I didn't realize what the secret was until i reread it. "

" I had to read this book for my K205 class. It started out slow, but got much better as the book went on. I think a teacher could use this book and relate it to diversity, friendship, and disability. "
