Have you ever sneaked out of your house and spied on a Casino Boat that throws away poop in the ocean? Well Noah and his little sister Abbey sure has. The book Flush by Carl Hiassen is a book of adventure that includes a lot of action. Flush, is a vey good book that people of all ages would enjoy.

Flush takes place in Florida, Keys in Thunder Beach. In Thunder Beach, there is this one Casino boat that that throws away poop in the ocean illegally. Dusty Muleman is the casino boat owner. He earns millions of money in one night, yet he stills try so save a little bit of money by throwing away human waste into the beach. Noah's dad is a man of nature. One day, he saw that Dusty Muleman trashing human waste in the ocean so he sunk the boat one day. Once Noah and his little sister figured out, they went on a adventure to proof that their dad is right. They start sneaking out of their house and make friends with strangers that used to work on the boat. They create a plan to destroy Dusty Muleman for sure.

The book Flush is a excellent book to read with your family since this book is about a family solving a crisis. I also would recommend this book for people who likes mystery or adventure but I think that anyone would enjoy this book. If you start reading the book Flush you would keep wanting to read the book until the last page. Flush is an excellent book.Show Less

    A Royal FLUSH

    I loved the book and anyone who says different I laugh at. I admit, the beginning was not all that great, but I really liked the ending. I think HOOT was better. SCAT and FLUSH are of similar quality

    Flush

    A review of "Flush" by Carl Hiaasen
    Do you like reading non-action every-day live novels? Well the novel "Flush" is a perfect novel for you! In this book, you can experience what its like if you were actually that character. You can learn more about how judges judge people and what they do to the person.
    Noah, the main character is very brave, helpful, and caring. It all starts on present -day Florida, Miami. It seems that a casino boat has been dumping trash and waste into the ocean. So, a nature loving man wouldn't just stand and watch all the waste getting dumped into the ocean. And that's what a man did. Because of what he did, he was sent to jail. And that person is Noah's dad, Paine. Paine was also a caring man. But sometimes he went to far. Then, Paine escapes from jail and come home. Noah was satisfied. After all, the sheriff was actually glad that he escaped. But now, he's under house arrest.
    Next morning, they find Abbey, missing too! So Paine, Noah and Noah's mother go on a search for her; after he sneaks off the house arrest bracelet, and goes on the search. But, on the way, they meet Dusty Muleman; the owner of the Casino boat; the Coral Queen. After going around the town they couldn't find her, so off they went home. But unsurprisingly, they find Abbey on the main road, packed and ready. She shows the video camera; with something taped inside. In the car, Noah's mother grounds her but something even more important awaits; in the video camera. As soon as she gets home, she shows the tape; of the Coral Queen dumping. But, her family was not glad. But, sometime later they find an idea; something that would change their lives for now.
    I personally think that Flush is a bad book because it has no action, but for people who are very non-action and daily life people would love to read this book. Carl Hiaasen wrote the excellent book Flush with a very good idea for political problems, but I think because the action parts rarely come out so I don't really think this book is a good book.

    Best book ever!!!

    The book starts in Florida with a character named Noah going to see his dad in jail on father’s day. Noah’s dad is in jail for sinking a gambling boat named the Coral Queen that he suspected the owner Dusty Muleman was dumping raw sewage into the harbor in fear of it washing up on a popular beach in Florida and the animals will die and the swimmers will get sick. Noah’s dad tried to tell the coast guard and law enforcement what was happening but he couldn’t prove it .Noah’s dad decides to take the problem in his own hands and sinks the Coral Queen. Then Noah sees that the Coral Queen is back up and in business in a couple of days while Noah’s dad is stuck in jail. Now Noah is determined to prove that Dusty Muleman is dumping sewage illegally in the harbor for his dad to get out of jail. Noah will get help from his sister Abbey, Lice Peeking a man with terrible hygiene, Shelly a bartender, and a pirate. Their trying to defeat Dusty Muleman clue by clue, Meanwhile Noah’s mother is really upset at his dad, but Noah is trying to tell her that it’s not his fault and thru the book he is also trying to prove it to his mom. I really liked the book a lot even though sometimes it lost my interest at times. The cover of the book really looked interesting it made me want to see what this book was about. The protagonist of the story worked really hard in the story to help his father. The book reminded me of a detective movie when their trying to get clues to prove the person is guilty. The exposition of the story was kind of boring and a lot of information to take in.The type of conflict in flush was man vs. man. The climax was really amusing to me, it was nothing like I suspected. The falling action was shocking I didn’t think that would happen and it surprised me. My favorite part in the book was the arguments between Shelly and Lice Peeking. I would recommend this book to people who like suspension in a story. If I were in this situation I don’t think I’ll be able to do it because it seems really difficult to try to prove someone really close to you innocent and you don’t want to fail them. Overall I give this book a 10 out of 10

    I wish I could just 'FLUSH' this book down the toilet...

    I started reading this in the fifth grade, and by page four, I was falling asleep from being so bored. Honestly, it is just really not a good book. I love to read, and I usually always try to finish a book, and give it a chance. This book was so bad, literally I was sleeping through the first chapter. My advice for those of you who right now are thinking about reading this book: Never read it. Just get out of this page and look for another book. Honestly.
