It took something away from the book that I found myself missing quite a bit. The name he was given was just incredibly disappointing and I personally don't think it fit him well at all. Here I agree wholeheartedly with the decision the filmmakers made in leaving him with just his nickname. I will say, however, that I was sorely disappointed with Mullet Fingers' true name. At this point in time, I am unsure whether that is because I decided to watch the movie and read the book together and that led me to compare the fast pace of the movie to the slowness the book expressed due to the extra scenes which did not make it into the film or if it is simply because the book dragged a bit. I had someone come and talk to me about panic attacks. I spent the night in the hospital and had the hot/warm flushes sporadically through the night. As I grew closer and closer to the end, I found myself feeling as though I just wasn't getting there fast enough. I went to the ER recently because I got a hot flush feeling that ran all the way from my chest toy groin then under my arms. In a way, I've gotten rather good at determining why something might have been cut out of the movie adaptation-whether I agree with it or not-and there were many things I noticed in this book that had not made it into the movie that just made sense.Īll in all, it was a pretty good book. When it came to Hoot, I find that I'm honestly in a place where I don't quite know which was better. No matter what, you always find yourself wondering which is better. It's always interesting to read a book after having already seen the movie.
