This book can be kinda boring at first but once u actually start to read into it is is a amazing book. It could have been better but it had a suspensful feel to it.

i think this book isnt meant for kids age 9-16 teen i've been reading it with my 11 year old because school has him reading it it isnt good for his age and if i would of know before hand i would of not let him even start reading this book not meant for a kids his age readit 1st as a parent and then deside if it ok for a younger kids to read i as a mother think not for mine

I personally think that this was a really good book. We had to read it over the summer for school and I thought I was going to hate it. I'm not even into soccer or anything that they talked about, and I still couldn't wait until I finished it so I could figure out all of the mysteries.

This book is phenomenal. It is thought-provoking and inspirational. It serves as a great 'dress rehearsal' for tweens and teens as they will face many of these issues during their lives [athletes and their behavior, friendship, family secrets, bullying, assertiveness]. I am considering using this as a book for 7th graders to read, experience, and discuss in September. [I needed to have patience to get past the first 30 pages or so. After that, I stayed up all night reading it!]

I luv'd this book u meanies :(( gosh whhy r u so mean?

Okay-- here's the deal: I may just be a wimp when it comes to violence in literature, but when I read some of the things in this book, I was seriously disturbed. I'm thirteen and in the seventh grade. We read "Tangerine" for our English Class. The truth of the matter is, although I'm guessing many people (especially some of my fellow classmates) overlook it, this book really does have some strong emotional points of controversy, and it illustrates some of the best qualities a person can have, and some of the worst. In terms of the character "Erik Fisher", this book explains the horrible things a person can do; and the horrible monster a person can become. In other words, for me, it was very intense; a little too intense for a seventh grader.
