The best book ever!!! submitted by nlemerand on May 21, 2009, 10:17am I have always loved Carl Hiaasen's book. I started reading Hoot then I went onto Flush an I cant wait to read Scat.

Awesome submitted by mysterio on June 19, 2011, 12:03pm Awesome

Interesting submitted by Smiles on June 24, 2011, 8:19am This book is really good, I really like the part where Nick and Marta find out where their teacher is.

Another Big Hit for Hiaasen submitted by shalinigurl on July 10, 2011, 11:20am This book takes you where no one else did. Mixing humor with something a bit more serious like endangered wildlife. Who's side are you on is what Hiaasen asks you like he switches the perspective every so often. Ever read Flush or Hoot? if you like those books you'll love this one!

Great for adults submitted by llwalsh on July 1, 2014, 6:31am As a fan of Hiaasen, this was the first youth book of his that I read. I enjoyed it just as much as his adult books! If you're a fan, this is a must!

Hated teacher Helped submitted by Stanley on July 29, 2014, 6:04pm Can't believe a teacher who is hated in a school gets rescued. Plus the teacher had a pet FLORIDA PANTHER

amazing submitted by lukepauer on August 17, 2014, 12:56pm an amazing story about a mean teacher a kid and a panther in the Florida Everglades

Great submitted by peterflorence on August 29, 2014, 9:13am Carl Hiaasen books are great!!!

enjoyable submitted by camelsamba on July 31, 2017, 12:41pm I enjoyed the plot of this book more than Chomp. I liked how the various storylines and people interconnected. As in Chomp, the cast includes a number of over-the-top unlikeable adults, but you also get some insight into their underlying motivations and personalities.

Great Book submitted by joegriffith77 on July 5, 2018, 3:00pm I really enjoyed Scat because of how the author made it really hilarious. I also liked it because, Ms. Starch (the teacher) went missing to save a baby leopard in forest. I also liked the craziness, and the unfortunate things that happened to the characters.

The Best submitted by jhaberich on July 7, 2018, 2:47pm I sure love agood book full of action and mysteriousness and was one for sure! Hiassen makes a thousand cliffhangers; each more interesting than the last!

love it submitted by gogo on June 18, 2019, 7:45am scat is just absolutely amazing

Fun Mystery submitted by me11yagn on August 30, 2019, 7:06pm The book was fun and mysterious. There were many thrilling events.

Scat submitted by SBNB on August 8, 2021, 4:52pm Coming into this book, I wasn't sure it would be worth my time. But within a couple chapters I was hooked and I finished it in a day. It's a great story with some twists and turns, mystery, illegal activity, and action, and it touches on family issues such as a parent doing a tour of duty in a combat zone and a parent choosing to abandon her family. It's a kids book, but I'm an adult and I really enjoyed it. I can't wait to read more books by this author.
