Book Reviews of Hoot
Book Review: an eco-friendly, cute tale for young teens
Summary: 4 Stars
For the legion of Hiaasen fans out there, 'Hoot' is pure Hiaasen but without the raunchiness and ribald humor. It is more whimsical than funny, its plot rather obvious and ultra-wholesome, but it's a very enjoyable read nonetheless. Hiaasen transforms himself into a young teen who, with other rascals his age, fight corporate America from building upon land where nesting ground owls call home. These kids pull all sorts of tricks to defeat the wicked and inept adults. Although this book is clearly targeted to the junior high school set, and I think it makes a wonderful read for boys and girls, it's the sort of read adults can enjoy especially if they don't want to think too hard. You will never confuse 'Hoot' with works by Leo Tolstoy or Henry James.
Bottom line: lighthearted and politically correct.
Book Review: chase for what you believe in with hoot
Summary: 4 Stars
Have you ever felt you needed to help something or someone?
Well the book I read was Hoot by Carl Hiaasen. This book has that question answered, as the main character Roy has been on quite an adventure with his new friend Napoleon has had quite a school year trying to save the owls, him and his mysterious friend will do anything for those owls.
This book is about the new kid Roy who just moved to Florida who isn't the most popular kid. On the way to school Roy spots a kid running from the school bus. Roy was curious to whom this kid was. He soon finds out that he will be on the biggest adventure of his life, trying to save owls from being crushed by a construction sight of a popular pancake house.
I would rate this book 4 star because some parts of the book where kind of predictable and I like books that are like that I like books that you don't know what will happen next. This book is a 4 star to me because it was a really good story and I loved how it was in Florida and it had great description.
This book takes place in Florida, Florida is an awesome setting and it was really fun to read this book because it was full of adventure in south Florida and there were a lot of water sports and surprising things.
I would recommend this book to everyone that loves surprising and adventurous stories, the reason that I would recommend this book to everyone is because it's a fun book and no matter how only you are you can have fun with this book.

Book Review: kind of good book
Summary: 4 Stars
Hoot is a book that is sort of good. i didnt like it because it didnt discribe the characters very well. it has a good story line and its not very confusing. if you like animals then you will like this book. its cool that the main character (Roy) would go all that way to save a few owls. i guess you should read the book even though you wont know what the main characters look like.Book Review: so far
Summary: 3 Stars
I've read three books this summer. My grandmother is paying me a dollar for every book I read so I'm not bragging. The first two weren't like work at all, but this one almost is. I thought it would be more adventerous. That's the kind of book I really like. For everybody who likes more adventer, adventuer / \ excitment, I think they should read The Misadventures of Maude March, and if they are a boy, they will like The Voyage of the Frog.
