Flush
* * * * *

Recently, I have read an amazing novel by Carl Hiaasen known as Flush. I truly enjoyed this book because it focused on the story of a boy named Noah Underwood and his struggle to prove his dad right about the dumping of Dusty Muleman's ship. Although no one believes him, he never gives up. This was truly amazing, not only because he was so loving but also because he had a high sense for danger. I truly recommend this book to people who have a knack for humor mixed with amazing and action-packed adventure. Even if you aren't fond of very high resolution scripts, this is a well-written piece witch to me seems real in many different ways.

Elements used throughout this book have not only given some back up information for new characters but also has drawn a line between current plots and passed ones. What I mean by this is that no matter how many things occur in this book, they all lead up to Noah and his struggle to prove his dad right toward the Coral Queen incident. For intense, the mysterious happening of Lice Peeking came all the way back to Paine Underwood sinking Dusty's ship.

Also, the author did a great job of introducing the Florida background (setting) into the novel. Being the writer of the award winning Hoot as well, he is known for his detail settings and places. In doing this, he also kind of set a limit towards how far the characters personalities. For example, the brother and sister bod between Abbey and Noah was great. This allowed them to be a part of many different plots which moved the story on really well.

Lastly, I enjoyed how the family stories of the Underwood's got introduced whenever there was an opening. This little detail was important because it allowed the reader to feel closer to the characters and really feel for them. It also allowed for a sequel because Noah's grandpa was now going back to South America.

In the end, I found this book rather interesting in a way that I now want to know what will happen to the Mulemans or what will happen to Grandpa Bobby. I again, recommend this book to anyone even if you are not into fictional stories because this did involve places and conflicts that are real to our world not only the fact that they apply to our lifestyles but also that they make who we are.
