i have just finished reading your book "hoot" and i loved it! At first when my teacher told me that my class was going to read "Hoot" i thought it was going to be a dum book about owls. But as soon as i read the first word i couldnt stop readng.It is so funny and i love the way how you used sarcasm a lot in your story. What i also liked about your book is that you used a lot of similes and metaphors. I think that what makes your book the best is that the plot of the story is so original than all of the other books i've ever read.
My favorite part of the story is the ending when roy and beatrice stopped the construction of Mother Paula's because of the owls. I love the way how you made each character in the book different. My favorite character is Nepolian Leep a.k.a Mullet Fingers. He's my favorite because he is so adventerus and isnt afraid of taking risks. And i love the fact that he broke so many rules just to save those owls.
Anyways i just wanted to say what a great book you have created and i hope the next book is as good as the one before!


Hoot is a great book.   May 19, 2004
Hoot is one of the greatest books i've read in a long time. it was very funny when Dana gets hurt due to Roy. Roy is a very couragous person taking on Dana and helping the running boy. But if it wasn't for Dana Matherson smashing his face against the school bus window that day, he might never have seen the running boy. And if he had never seen the running boy, he might never have met Beatrice. And if he had never met Beatrice, he might never have discovered the burrowing owls living in the lot on the corner of East Oriole Avenue. And if he had never discovered the owls, he probably would have missed out on the adventure of a lifetime.
First all the survey markers are pulled up and all the stake holes are filled in.The air is let out of the construction vehiciles tires. Alligators (small ones) are put in the out house toilets. No work is being done. The date for a grand opening is approaching. Who is doing this and why are no mystery to the reader, but they are a serious question to the construction foreman, Curly, police officer Delinko and Curly's boss at headquarters, Chuck Muckle. Of course, Mother Paula's is about to be constructed on land on which there a bunch of burrowing owls.
My favorite part of this book is when Officer Delinko's patrol car gets spray painted by the vandal, which is Mullet Fingers or should I say Napoleon Bridger Leep. It was funny when Officer Delinko falls asleep and when he wakes up sees his patrol car windows are spray painted black. Officer Delinko thought it was early in the morning, but it was really nine thirty. I laughed my head off in this part. Another part I liked was the part that Roy mooned Dana and Dana got real mad and chased Roy about three blocks.


IT WAS GREAT   May 19, 2004
I REALLY ENJOYED THE BOOK. IT WAS VERY FUNNY. I LIKE ALL THE CHARACTERS IN THE BOOK BUT MY FAVORITE WAS MULLET FINGERS( A.K.A NAPOLEON BRIDGER). HE IS BRAVE AND STANDS UP FOR WHAT HE BELIEVES IN. I'M SORT OF LIKE THAT. IN THE END I LIKED HOW BOTH OFFICER DELINKO ROY COMPLETED WHAT THEY WANTED TO DO.I WILL PROBABLY READ THE BOOK AGAIN SOON TO SEE IF I MISSED ANY IMPORTANT PARTS OF THE BOOK.
