Hoot
Carl Hiaasen wrote Hoot in a new way. By saying this, I mean that I felt like one of the characters played a different part. For example, when I read a book I always feel like the authors make a runaway the bad person, like a runaway criminal. Or, a boy who doesn't live with his family lives out on the streets. I felt that what Carl Hiaasen did in terms of making the runaway the good guy was cool how he took a step away from a protected cave. I loved the book, overall.

You did such a good job supporting your idea about the author writing in a new way.
ReplyDeleteI love this book, too. Do you think it belongs on our "10" display?
Lauren, I saw the movie, do you think it's as good as the book? If so, should I read it?
ReplyDeleteNice post! I like how you said "... how he took a step away from a protected cave."
ReplyDeleteIf I were to answer Ben's question, I would say that the movie is horrible, period. If it were to be compared to the book, it would be even worse!
I love this book as well and yes, I think that it should be on the "10" display, but that's just me!
Izzy is right, That was a nice post! She's also right that the book is way better than the movie because the left out a lot and put in a lot of stuff that wasn't in the moive.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Izzy and KT, I think that the book is much better and I would be very excited to see Hoot on the "10" display. Thanks for the complements.
