Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Corn

Hiaasen almost hit perfection in his first YA novel. Hoot turned out to be something I hadn't expected it to be at all. When beginning to read it, I figured I was going to hate the book... Enviromental this, environmental that. However, as the book progressed, Hoot made a temporary environmentalist out of me. The plot was far-fetched, but still plausible and the characters were very life like. Hiaasen's novel really showed how average kids could step up and take on a challenge if they had motivation.
