Title: Hoot Flew too far to the left for me
Review: This book was funny at first, but it got too politically correct for me. There is a definite left-wing, socialist message in this book--that government--and government regulations--are good and are there to save us from the big bad corporations. (All the people who work the restaurant chain are stereotypical, cardboard villains; in contrast, the main character's likeable father works for the federal government.) Some may say that you shouldn't take this book too seriously--that it's just a "comedy." But it gets pretty serious as it goes along, and I think we should be teaching our kids to like businesses, because they create jobs, and to hate government regulations because they choke small business and risk taking and stifle job growth. Most people fail to realize that most fast food restaurants are franchises run by risk-taking entrepreneurs, not by greedy executives in some corporate headquarters.
