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. As I grew closer and closer to the end, I found myself feeling as though I just wasn't getting there fast enough. 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.
