Hoot
by Carl Hiaasen
3.5/5
Delightful. Utterly delightful.
It’s such a lovely story, a bunch of misfit kids standing up for owls. I loved that Roy’s parents supported him and never treated him like a child.
I wished there had been more of the friendship between Roy, Beatrice, and Mullet Fingers. They were such great characters.
I really disliked the constant use of people’s surnames. We already know their names, it’s mentioned at least twice per page, no need for anymore.
There is a lot of nostalgia here for me. I watched the movie dozens of times when it first came out, but haven’t rewatched it in several years. It was great to come back to this story and these characters. The movie did a great job in adapting the novel - though I could have done without the added movie romance. It was nice to read about all the extra characters and information about the story.
Such a great read!!
