So, to begin our discussion, I thought I'd post some questions to just get things started. You don't have to answer all of the questions (this isn't a school assignment); they are just a starting point. Feel free to add additional comments about the book, just remember to be nice about it and the feelings/comments of everyone else participating in this online discussion.
What did you enjoy about Hoot? Was it easy to "get into" the story? Was it a quick read? Were the characters and plot believable? Why or why not? Who was your favorite character in the story and why? Who did you dislike in the story and why? What are the major themes of Hoot? Are they relevant to your life; have you ever experienced anything similar to this novel? Were Roy's actions justifiable? Were Mullet Finger's? What about Mother Paula's? Was the ending what you expected? How did it differ from what you expected?
