Book Reviews of Hoot
Book Review: "Don't Plow Over the Burrowing Owl's"
Summary: 5 Stars
Have you ever read one of Carl Hiaasen's books?! If you have, you will probably agree with me that Hoot is his best novel.
One of the reasons I loved this book is because the characters found something they believed in and stood up for it. They did this because the construction workers wanted to plow over the burrowing owl's homes, for a Mother Paula's Pancake House would be there soon. Even though one of the characters, Mullet Fingers, got inflamed, they still did not give up. Roy and Beatrice went around at their school and told their classmates and teachers what was happening, for they wanted to spread the word of this evil deed. Like Martin Luther King Jr. the threesome of Roy, Beatrice, and Mullet Fingers stood up for what they believed in.
As well as courageous characters, this book also has suspense at the end of every chapter. I have read a million books that don't have suspense, and that makes it just plain boring. For example, "Yeah," said Roy, but already he was thinking about a plan. He was determined to find the running boy. The end finalizes well because it has a happy ending and there isn't a sequel. Another reason why the end concludes well is for the reason that they had to stop the construction and the owls were saved. That was why I think Hoot is a must read for anyone!
