Book Reviews of Hoot
Book Review: An Inspiring Book
Summary: 4 Stars
I have recently read the book Hoot by Carl Hiaasen. Have you ever felt left out, or have you felt like your not where you're supposed to be? This is how Roy Eberhardt, a teenage boy from Montana, feels after moving to Florida. Roy investigates a mystery of the boy running with no shoes on, while he tries to save an owl species. Will life in Florida be looking up for Roy?
The theme or lesson of this book I think was to not let things get in your way. Hoot was very inspiring and it makes you want to help animals in your community. Also, you can literally feel yourself as if you were a character in the setting. I'd advise you to read Hoot because I know you'll love it.
Book Review: I'd dig a Burrow for HOOT!
Summary: 5 Stars
Carl Hiaasen, Oh my Gosh! What an amazing author! I had heard of Hoot long before the movie was advertised but never got it for some bizarre reason. Well, once they Advertised the movie I thought," I ought to get this novel." Boy, I was blown away! I think it's a wonderful novel for middle school kids, because it shows that no matter who you are or what age you are you can save the wildlife that is right in front of us that we never take the time to appriciate. It's also good fopr Middle Schoolers because there are a lot of characters and situations thatkids can relate to like the Dana Matherson Situation or being the new kid. Anyways, to conclude this review, BUY HOOT NOW!Book Review: Honestly?
Summary: 2 Stars
Hoot is an exceptional book with a respectable message. While I was reading it I was thinking it's okay, that's interesting, hmmm, aha, oh, ect. But what I never thought was wow!, cool, haha, weird, oh no! and so on. I felt like the author lacked passion, the comedy was juvenile, and the drama unrealistic. When I was done reading I was actually a little relieved it was over! That has never happened to me before. So read the book if you are a great Hiaasen fan, or 8 and under, but otherwise set the book down; walk away with your hands raised; and forget about the whole crazy idea of reading it. Cause honestly, it just ain't too special.Book Review: I wasn't particularly impressed
Summary: 2 Stars
"Hoot" could have been a really fine story of a boy's coming of age, facing an obstacle that pits life's lesson against life's lesson, right against wrong, moral against legal. As it turned out, Hiaasen just didn't carry his vehicle particularly deftly. The characters are paper-thin: frankly, we just don't give a HOOT about them. Roy is dull and predictable; the police are run-of-the-mill buffoons; and, as for the mysterious, barefooted Mullet Fingers, I couldn't care whether he lacerated both plantae on one of those new onion slicer gadgets. I wish I had taken a "pass" rather than invested three hundred pages in this trivium.Book Review: The Review
