Title: Who is the good guy here?
Review: I read Flush and found it to be a fun read. Hoot is not a fun read and has little redeeming value: Mushy, ineffective parents who are in denial, a "protagonist" who lies whenever he can to manipulate the 'bad' guys, lies to bumbling police, lies to all parents and teachers and lies to the hospital -anywhere that the end justifies the means. All the adults are inept and the 'juvie' bad guy 'deserves' to be framed. Roy, the main character, is a snot - his parents are 'proud' of him- oh please!! enough already of people not being responsible for who they are! This book is a dud. There is nothing 'cute' or 'redeeming' about the deceit.
