= Post your thoughts about the differences between the movie and the book. =

I thought that they left out A LOT of details!!!! -in the movie, he is the oldest child. I remember him having an older sister in the book. -they left out the part when Billy slides down the fire exit from the school. AND MANY MORE!!!!!!!!! ~Camille

YES!!!!! It did!!!!!! It did leave out alot of details!!!!! ~Sammi M.

I thought that to they skipped way to many parts to!! and they changed alot of the good parts!!! I liked the book way better!!!! -Madchen

I Kind of disagree with Camille! = Luka

^ I disagree with Camille. I think the director did a GREAT job of putting the same details in the movie, that were in the book ! ! !  ~Emily Thanx Emily!!! : ( (just kidding) : ) I thought it was great. But the director did leave some good parts out that were in the book!!!  ~Nardaus

​ I disagree with Emily, because ALOT of kids in my class (even Ms.Schwieters) thought the movie was BAD!!!!!!!!!! And yes they left some parts out of book, some important parts. But, on the other hand the book was GREAT!!!!!!!!!  ~Sammi M.

I liked the movie because I saw how the things would look, but they did leave out a lot of really good parts in the movie, Like pretty much the whole championship - -Sara B. ​

@Sara B. Same as me. Luka

I liked the movie better than the book. but... in Russia some reason, people like some book but not the movie. =$$$Luka$$$=

Luka- Not sure what you mean about people in Russia. Have you talked to people who have read this book? Ms. Schwieters

==**I agree with Sara B. how they left out a lot of parts. Also, in the book it said that Billy tripped Ruban with a stick (this next part is in the movie) but when Ruban went after Little Ann & Old Dan with the ax, it looked like Ruban tripped himself. Which I thought wasn't a good detail for the movie. When Ruban tripped,Billy was on the Bridge roofing trying to catch get the Ghost Coon. Another big part in the movie that they left out was the Championship Coon' Hunting beauty contest. I agree with Nardaus because I also think that the director left out A LOT of good details and the director said Billy did NOT win when he did!! !*****Jessica*****!** == I agree with nardaus because the director left out a lot of important parts that are in the book. -Amber

​ I Agree with Jessica, about how it did look like Ruban 'fell" and KILLED HIMSELF!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes I totaly agree with Jessica!!!!!!!! The director left alot of IMPORTANT details, that really put the book toegether! And in the movie did look like Ruban "tripped" himself. (i put the qoutation marks there because in the movie, Ruban just kinda fell.) And I he movie I was kinda looking forward to the Championship Coon' Hunting beauty contest! And the movie didnt have it!!!!!!!!!! So i personaly disliked the movie very much!!!!!!! ~Sammi M.

I disagree with Sammi becase I personaly liked the movie better than the book because it left out some of the parts that were most sad. But yet I also agree with Jessica that the director left out a lot of awesome details! ======
