Hoot Book Review

Carl Hiaasen's book, Hoot, intrigues me to stop and think about my actions.

A theme of Hoot would be that before taking actions, think about the effects caused by what you are doing my cause. In the book a pancake place is trying to open a new store on the site where endangered burrowing owls are nesting. A kid that calls himself Mullet Fingers is not okay with this. He keeps vandalizing their property to try and discourage them from opening the resturaunt.

The scene of this book is set at the pancake house construction site. The site is where the burrowing owls are nesting. The entire book is based on this site because if the pancake house were to build on another site it would solve all of the problems. Mullett Fingers is very concerned about the owls. They are endangered and he does not want to let any of them die if they do not have to. Roy is not too happy about it either after Mullett Fingers tells him about the situation. They vandalize the property there trying to persuade them from building there.

I can compare to this book because I have heard about a story about investors wanting to build a shopping center in a swamp. Building the shopping center in that location would include filling in land to build it up. That would result in the runoff water and other dranage nowhere to go. Places would flood more if this was built. There is a lot of contraversy about building this shopping center in this location because of all of that.

I recomend this book to the younger generations. It is a very easy book to read. This book also teaches a lesson about thinking before you act. It is a great book for kids to read.

This book has 292 pages and is worth 2 books.
