    The answer to this questions is certainly a bit subjective.

    I think it is fair to say, however, that Boo represented an element of excitement. In a town where everyone seems to know everyone, he remained a mystery. The stories about him were certainly enough the stir the imagination of children whiling away summer days in the lazy heat.
