With the bicycle built for two and the mimosas and everything, it was just perfect. The first one was when Ian was describing the Eggman/Wiley bromance. I remember that there were two points when I knew the crossover was just going to be the best thing I ever read. This is just a guess though.Paul Kaminksi: It was also an important point for us to make the crossover have consequences. After reading the book, I now honestly think Jim Carrey improvised a lot of his lines and made the movie much more funny than the original script. Overall, as a Sonic the Hedgehog fan, I found this book to be enjoyable to read and it was nice to see what the movie might have been. The point I am trying to make here is that the book would be best described as a shorter version of the movie with slightly worse writing. For example, the chase sequence on the road was a bit different from the movie and, in my opinion, much less interesting.

Instead of new scenes, the already existing ones were simply tweaked and seemed to me like they were a part of an early draft of the original movie script. I was hoping the book would include special scenes and such that didn't make it into the film, but there were very few (and they were so short I don't know if I would call them scenes).


There also were a couple of references I caught that were related to the series that weren't in the movie such as "chaos power", sonic saying "Way past cool!", and a few more. As an example, the book clarified that Sonic's emotions were what was causing his "chaos power" (these extras can also be seen in the film's deleted scenes). While I was hoping the book would explain some plot holes from the movie and was disappointed, it did include little tidbits of new information that was not in the movie. Overall, "Sonic the Hedgehog: The Official Movie Novelization" was a worthwhile quick read.
