Carl Hiaasen's Hoot: enjoyable, definitely a kid's book, but it had a cute story. And "cute" is the right word there. I prefer his adult stuff, this seemed a little . . . trite, I guess. But it's for kids, so I'm not sure if that matters. If I were my younger self, well, I probably wouldn't read it because I went in for more meaty stuff (if you ignore the Lurlene McDaniels I read). But Hoot was okay.
Let me put it this way: it's not one I'll be keeping for Rabbit to enjoy down the road, like I am with my Narnia collection and The Cricket in Times Square and Little Women, etc., but I might buy it for her later, if she seems to like that sort of story.
See you in 2005!
