The title of the book I read is Chomp by Mark Haissen. The book is about a family named the Crays and they are very low on money. Wahoo's mother, Susan Cray, goes on a trip to China to see if she can earn some money. Mickey Cray, the father of Wahoo, had a serious concussion about 5 months ago. When the producer of Expedition Survival! calls, Wahoo accepts the job right away. The producer of the show wanted to use the Cray's animals in their backyard for their next big shoot. My opinion of the book is that it is a very interesting book. In the last 40 pages, it started getting very good. Some evidence for this is that in the last 40 pages, Jared Gordon has Mickey Cray hostage with a gun to his back at all times. In the beginning, it was very slow and a little hard to understand but once I read it over a couple of times, I would understand what the Mark Haissen was trying to tell me. At the end, the author tried getting the suspense going right until the last word of the book. The genre is realistic fiction because some TV producer could actually make a show called Expedition Survival! and make it a very popular show. Another thing that was also realistic was that the Crays has a mini zoo in their backyard and someone in the world can have that. A person that would like to read this book is a person that likes suspense and a little humor. Also, the person might like to have a high understanding of some hard words. An internal conflict in Mickey Cray is that he has a major concussion and he gets headaches all the time so he has to sit down once in awhile instead of being in on the action. An external conflict in the book is that Mickey Cray is being held hostage with a gun to his back at all times.About 7 years agomattawesomepantliked a comment in Chomp.

Chomp Do you like books that are funny? If so, Chomp is a good book for you! Chomp was written by Carl Hiaasen. The theme of the book is Man vs. Nature. I really liked this book and rate it 5 stars. The book is introduced with Mickey Cray, who suffered from a serious concussion that put him out of work. He lives in Florida and he has a son named Wahoo (as in the type of fish). Wahoo’s mom goes away for work, so Wahoo is left with his dad. After Wahoo’s mom leaves, Mickey is offered a job on a T.V nature show watching over some animals. Some of his animals from his backyard are also going to be on the same show. The issue is the star of the show, Derek Badger, is a total faker. The whole show is planned out. Another problem is that Derek and Mickey are polar opposites. Mickey protects the environment while Derek only cares about the T.V show and eats all the animals which are mostly fake. As a reader of almost all of Hiaasen’s books, I predicted this will cause a lot of tension, and I was right. Mickey is constantly calling Derek, “Derek Beaver” and Derek is always getting mad at Mickey when one of the animals attack him. This book is very similar to Hoot and Scat, two other Hiaasen books, which are both very good. Three Times Lucky by Sheila Turnage is also similar to Chomp. Anybody who is looking for a humorous book to read should read Chomp. I highly recommend it.About 7 years agomattawesomepant has read this book.
