Book Reviews of Hoot
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: Hoot

Summary: 4 Stars
The book I just read is called Hoot by Carl Hiaason. The main conflict in the story is Mother Paula Pancake House wants to build their new pancake house on the land where a community of owls live. The kids of Coconut Cove, Florida, Roy Eberhardt, a 12 year old boy, and his friends Beatrice Leep and Mullet Fingers do many tricks to save the owls.
This was a very exciting book to read because when I got to the end of each chapter I needed to read the next chapter to find out what was going to happen next. I thought the main conflict was interesting because I could see what kids my age could do when they put their mind to something. The characters in this story seem very realistic because they would do something that any person could do in their lives. For example, Roy was always there when his friends needed him. I really enjoyed the end of the book because it was a very exciting and happy ending. I was glad to see that the kids made a difference.
What I think what was most exciting about this book was how the author made his characters and their moods. One person could be wild while the other person was in the worst mood. The author's voice changed through out the book. He could sound light as a feather or as dark as a giant. Another thing I thought was wonderful about the author was when he went from scene to scene and made it sharp so you could remember everything. The vocabulary used was very descriptive so I could just picture everything in its place.
I would give this book an A. I really cared about what Roy and his friends were doing to save the owls. It was a wonderful book and I would recommend it to any of my friends that like to read books about how kids follow their dreams and accomplish something big.
I am glad I read this book. I like seeing someone follow their dreams and accomplishing them. I too would like to do this. I am planning to collect and save money to help a needy kid go to overnight camp. I love camp and I want to give that gift to someone else.
