Did the owls live? Yes.
Was anyone surprised? No.
Then why, oh why, is this book such a fun read? Because it is such a novel novel (see what I did there?). The plot behind Hoot is different and fun. I don't know of any novels (save Hiaasen's similar novel Flush) that has a story as innocent and (strangely) gripping as the one told here. It really is beautiful, in a way.
Speaking of Flush, however, makes this book lose a little magic. Having already read Flush, I can tell you that the two are very, very similar, though Hoot is definitely the better of the two. In any case, Hoot is definitely worth the read and highly recommended.
