Hoot

A great story!

This is a great book and a fun story to read. It should be in every classroom and children should read this one snuggled up in bed at night. There are great characters and a fun story line. It shows you that even children can have opinions and make a difference! The baby owls will be killed because of the construction that is moving in to make a pancake house. How will the community, specifically the kids help these small helpless creatures. This is a book that you don't want to miss. The movie is good, the book is better.

Hoot

Hoot by Carl Hiassen.
Hoot Is a Intresting, Intense, brain- igniting book, full of intresting events, like when Roy's Daad works for the government, and he still his friend, illegaly go destroy a building site for Mother Paula's All americnan pancake house, to save the owl's. He tries to tell the company that there is a endangerd breed of animals on their property that they will kill, but they just recive a cheesy letter in the mail. Although this book is great because no matter what they have to do, nothing will stop them from saving those Owl's.

When the law gets involved, there are so many distractions to make their cause. They have guards and police, and dogs gaurding the construction site, which is making saving the owl's get in the way of saving the owl's

Sweet book read it

Mother Paula's pancake house owners want to build a new pancake house the only problem is the owls are in the ground where they want to build it! The Owls are going to get killed. Who and how will they save them? In Carl Hiaasen's book Hoot these are all primary questions. Roy is a curious, interesting, and brave character, but when he has to risk his freedom and break the law its going to take more than being brave. There is also a strange, mysterious, and environment loving character named Mullet.
Now Roy and Mullet are on a mission to save the owls but how? It would be hard to prove the owls exist but what if they can delay the pancake houses start of the building process. So Roy and Mullet thought of a brilliant idea, what if they vandalized the construction site, risky but saving the owls is definitely more important.
Readers will be craving for more Hoot a heartwarming, bittersweat story that any young reader will love. Hiaasen did a great job on this book winning the Newberry Honor.

You might have to save a forest, but I have to save you from this book.

By the first three chapters, I had fell asleep. And it wasn't because I was tired, it was because the book was poor and boring.For most books thier movie is worse than their book. Not in this case.The author did a poor job for describbing things, i couldn't picture it at all! Most kids might just pick this book up because it has a owl on it, don't let that fool you! This is one of the worst books i have read. To find a good book go down and look in my recommended books!

A Huge Disappointment

They make it into a movie. It wins a bunch of awards. Gee, you think, it must be a great book. Well, you're entirely wrong there. First of all, Carl Hiassen's poor attempts at humor are--well, poor. there really isn't much funny about this book unless you are about eight-years-old. Second, the story was completely ridiculous. Who ever heard of someone trying to illegally build a restaurant over land inhabited by an endangered species and being stopped by a schoolboy who figures out because he sees some random kid running around without shoes? Come on! Let's be a little more realistic. In addition, the only well-developed character was Roy, the protagonist. Every other character was very poorly created and not memorable in any of the ways that Hiassen would have liked them to be (for example: Beatrice the Bear? Pathetic.). Overall, this book was not even worth reading. One of the biggest disappointments I've ever had in a book.

Highly NOT recomended- Don't read it

This book it terrible. The literature is so dry and dull.The author decided that in the middle of each chapter to change to a character who you didn't know who it was until a page later and by that time you would already be on a different character. This book wasn't exciting or even remotly tollerable. I had to read it for an assignment and I had to FORCE myself to read it. I wouldn't recomend it to my worst enemy or you. The book was dreadful.

HOOT- A FUN EASY READ

Hoot, a book by Carl Hiaasen, takes place in Florida. A boy named Roy has just moved into town and attends Trace Middle School. Dana Matherson, the biggest bully in the school, has the time of his life beating up Roy. One day, Roy spots a running boy with no shoes and tries to figure out who he is. At the same time, a whole other story is happening. Many bad events keep on occurring at this certain construction site. The two stories are just beginning to link together.
This book is filled with very fun, exciting, and interesting scenes, but it is also boring at times. Hoot is written in a way that gives you a lot of information, but also doesn't say many things. This technique is good because it makes you want to know what will happen next. The story is well written and keeps you very sucked in. With two stories going on at once, you can not take your hands off of it.

HOOT

playaway
Hoot
Realistic fiction
by Carl Hiaasen

Hoot is a book that will feel like a slow boring roller coster with no twist or turns along the way. The books starts off with a boy named Roy Eberhardt, who see a boy that was running down the road. Not knowing that he was the reason that a pancake house construction site was sabotaged from being made, if it does gets built then dozens of burrowing owls would be buried alive. Roy sees him almost every day through his bus window, on his bus. One day he decides to figure out where he¿s, leaving his bus, but just before he could Dana Matherson, the bully, comes and try's to choke him, he brakes free (after punching him in the face) and sprints off the bus. He bumps a girl as he leaves, almost knocking her over. will he find out why this boy is running? You have to read Hoot by Carl Hiaasen to find out.

Roy Eberhardt thinks he¿s a coward, he thinks he might die if Dana attacks him (again), but he gets help from one of his only friends Beatrice who is a lot stronger than roy. She is almost twice the size of Roy, has blond curly hair, and loves playing soccer, she gets very angry when someone comes between her and the ball. Together these two, and a mysterious running boy, can help stop dozens of owl from dying.

Over all Hoot, by Carl Hiaasen, was a not so bad book, it wasn¿t amazing but it wasn¿t the worst book of all time either. It takes awhile to get into the book, and it didn¿t have that much action, but it did have some thing to keep the reader going, there was also some comedy between roy, the bully, and the vice principle. We give this book a 7.25/10.00.

hoot was...

Brilliant- not. I thought it stunk. It was absolutley horrible this book is for fourth or fifth graders. Not only is middle school not like that but it was just so lame. The jokes were way to corny the people were unrealistic. I was forced to listen to this horrible book for three monthes by my la teacher, everyone in school hated it well maybe except for one kid, ne way DONT READ IT! IT IS LITERARY GARBAGE!!!!!!!! Yea sum of us even had thoughts of chucking it out the window, thats how much we hated it. So yea it stinks its boring and thers no action or drama, though there is a very long very borning very confusing and annoying plot. I give one star for this poor mans effort not his talent

A WASTE OF MY ROYAL LIFE!

I thought that this book was so predictable! And also, the author of this book is so wrong about school today... bullies are a big and serious issue, and if the bully who did something really bad (I wont tell what) to Roy Eberheart (the main charitor) he would be sent straght to juvie, they wouldnt give him another chance! This book was really not realistic! He should have reserched the topic more!!
