Hoot is the BEST book around!!! May 19, 2004 Hoot is one of the best books that I have read.The book is interesting,funny,and very entertaining.I loved the book and I liked how it got you more interested in the book as you went chapter by chapter.The way that it got me more interested in the book was that as I read each chapter something good would come up and then suddenly the chapter would end. The book also taught me alot of vocabulary words that I did not know. For example three words are toupec,miffed,and improbable. I likedon how the book kept me interested. Next,the book I think can be the best book for kids in the whole United States of America. I also liked on how Carl Hiaasen described the characters in a visual way throughout the whole entire. Last but not least, my favorite character was Mullet Fingers. The reason why I liked Mullet Fingers was because he is different from other kids because he does things that you would not usually see a kid do. Once again Hoot is one of the best books around and I think it should be the number one book for kids throughout the whole United States.
hoot from w.r thomas May 19, 2004 hoot is an adventure of two young men and a young woman that are trying to save burrowing owls from being bulldozed to death. this story is very funny and enlights all things that go on in a middle school.like bullys and weird assistant principals. its fun to read it because the book leaves you in suspence wondering what will happen next.you always want to tell your parents or ms smith to keep on reading because of how fun and great the book is to you.
that was a great and an interesting book! May 18, 2004 When Roy gets to Florida he sees a new kid that is barefoot. He goes to a new school and meets Dana Matherson. After Roy is looking for a while he finds Beatrice Leep and finds out that the barefoot kid is her stepbrother. His name is Napoleon Bridger.Next they are facing a challenge to save burrowing owls. They are going against Mother Paula's Pancake House in which are notfilling out an important paper. (...). My favorite character is Mullet Fingers. The reason why I likeMullet Fingers a.k.a. Napoleon Bridger is because I like how hedoes things silently. I also like on how he does things in a good form.A good part is when the kids all finally save the owls and find outthat a special form is not filled out.
Hoot May 18, 2004 Hoot: * * * * *If I was to rate this book from 1-5 stars I would give it 5 stars. I thought that it was a great book. My favorite scene in this amazing book is when Roy ticks Dana to going into the trailer to find non-existing cigarettes. As Dana try's to find these cigarettes he is caught by Curly. My favorite character in the book is "mullet fingers" or Napoleon. Carl Hiaasen has the perfect ingredient of characters. One reason why I really thought that this was a great book is because it has a sense of humor. I am sure when you read this book you will laugh as much as a hyena. For example, there is a part of the book when Roy moons Dana. There was many great characters in this book, Dana: fat boy who is very hard headed, Mullet fingers" incredibly brave boy who helps the owls, Beatrice: mullet fingers sister (she also helps the owls), Roy: the new kid (helps with owls). My favorite character in this book is mullet fingers. The reason why he is my favorite character is because; no matter what gets in the way he will always be brave enough to save the owls. I think that this is a book for kids, but all ages can read it. How I read it, was with my whole class room at school. I could tell that every one liked it, because they would all giggle at funny parts of the book. They would all also participate when our teacher would ask us questions, for example, she would ask "what do you think is going to happen next" or "who do you think it was". If you like to read awesome books then you should definitely read this book. It is so far one of the best book I have ever read in my life before. So like I said when I first started, If I was to rate this book from 1-5 stars, I would automatically give it 5 stars. I do recommend this book for kids or like my teacher, read it to your students. Go and get it!!!!!!!!!
One of the Best Books. May 18, 2004 Hoot is a great book to read. I own the book myself. My teacher decided to read this wonderful book to all her language arts classes. She has read it more than five times I think. After I finished reading the book I started telling my family about it all of them wanted to read it. My sister was the first one to read it and she almost never reads. She ended up likening it. After that she found out that reading was actually entertain. My favorite character was Mullet Fingers or Napoleon if u will. His determination to save the poor defense less owls was one of the bravest things I've ever seen (read in this case) someone do. Most of my favorite parts are when he and Roy give it their all to try and save the owls. People like Carl Hiassen have a great imagination on these type of writing. All the stuff that Mullet Finger does to save the owls can be recreated in many way in real life. Some of the stuff in the book can't. I'd recommend this book to anyone that wants a good book to read. I'd also say this book would make a great movie. The characters in this book and the plot would maybe win a golden globe or two. An Oscar would be very unlikely. Some people might like it and the person that makes it might win a big profit out off it. This book has been the best book I've read so far. Most of my class like it as well. Ms Smith (my lang. arts teacher) must of really liked it to read it to us. I bet she got tired of reading it three times a day but she got through it in record time. This book should have a sequel. Like what happened to Mullet Fingers after his escape. I would really like to read it. I bet I would be one of the first ones to buy it. It would surely be an award winning one just like the first one. Carl Hiassen would get more money than he ever expected. That's why I'm writing this review in the first place. So u should really read this fantastic book.
