Every now and then a book comes along that is so striking it gives the reader goosebumps and stays in the mind long after its pages are closed. Carl Hiaasen's Hoot is one of those. * Times Educational Supplement *
Absolutely compelling - the nearest thing to Sacher's Holes I've read yet * The Times *
A sharp, funny, fast-moving mystery romp * Financial Times *
Good entertainment for all ages * Sunday Times *
Touching and well-written. These characters leap off the page at us, and we want to spend time around them. * Guardian Review *
You don't need to be far into this book to be engaged. Page one will do. * Glasgow Herald *
Hiaasen is a great storyteller and he conjures up intriguing characters and plenty of chuckles. * Manchester Evening News *
