Old Bentley ' s Father , Went to the cupboard , To fetch his poor dog a bone . When he bent over , Bentley took over , And gave him a bone of his own . <| sep |> And yet you still commented . Slow week for you too , I guess . <| sep |> ADTR will be right back at it again <| sep |>. so , like those shorts that they released alongside the movie , except all 6 books ? Honestly , given how much they cut out hint basically all of the last 3 books , I ' m surprised how good of an adaptation the movie was . They even managed to reappropriate some cut scenes to different characters , squeezing in even more book content the fight between Ramona and Roxy was taken from a fight between Ramona and Envy in the books , for example . Some of the changes are even better like Scott actually tricking the vegan dude into drinking halfandhalf instead of it being a literal Deus Ex Machina . The most noticeable change is that almost all of Scott ' s relationships with the other girls was cut , whereas the books focus on them quite a bit Kim was basically demoted to a side character she ' s pretty important in the books , Lisa was cut entirely , and in the books Envy shows up again near the ending and gets somewhat of a redemption arc which is absent in the movie . The only change I actively disliked was Ramona being literally mindcontrolled by Gideon . One of my favorite scenes in the book is when Gideon and Scott both realize that she ' s not with the other one . A literal mindcontrol chip just seems a bit too onthenose . It ' s also pretty obvious from the way the finale is set up that the writers meant for Scott to end up with Knives in the end , but changed it last minute to match the last book which hadn ' t been released yet when the film was written .
